    HARS-LX Series Dial Setting power Considerations The resistance setting may be read directly from the To maintain the maximum possible accuracy and pre- dial settings whenever the dials are in positions 0-9. cision, power applied to the HARS-LX should be kept as low as possible, preferably below 0.1 W.
  • Page 14: Meter Shunt Applications

    HARS-LX Series Meter Shunt Applications For maximum protection and accuracy, limit power input to HARS-LX to 1Watt. This may be accom- plished by placing a resistor in series with the bridge To measure the current in a 4-terminal resistor: generator or battery.
