The display also features an adjustable backlight. 2.7 KEYPAD AND FUNCTION BUTTONS The Model 6292 can be operated and configured using the alphanumeric keypad. The keypad enables you to name objects (groups of tests) and enter date/time information, and the function buttons let you select a number of configuration settings.
■ When in a menu, pressing the rotary knob for two seconds performs an ESC button function. ■ During a fixed current test, a short press will allow manual adjustment of the test current. Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 - User Manual...
3. INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION The Model 6292 can be configured by performing the following: ■ Press the MENU button to display the main menu. ■ Turn the rotary knob clockwise (to move up) or counter-clockwise (to move down) to navigate through the listed options. When the desired option is highlighted, select it by giving the rotary knob a short press.
® 3.1 TIME AND DATE SETTINGS A good way to become familiar with the Model 6292 menu options and navigation features is to enter time and date settings. For example, you can choose either MM/DD/YY or DD/MM/YY format for dates. To set this option, press the MENU...
Now that you have defined the time and date display formats, you can now enter the actual time and date. To do this, return to the Settings menu and select Set Date: SET DATE 10/16/2013 Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 - User Manual...
The Settings menu lets you adjust your display’s backlight and contrast levels to suit the illumination level in the environment in which the Model 6292 is being used. To do this, select Display from the Settings menu. The Display menu...
■ Go to the main menu and select Language. A list of available language options is displayed with the present language marked. ■ Turn the rotary knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to select the desired language. Confirm the choice by pressing the SAVE button or the rotary knob. Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 - User Manual...
The generated voltages and currents may be dangerous. The Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 uses the four-terminal Kelvin method to prevent test lead resistance errors during measurement. The test current, selected by the operator, and the reading is obtained by comparison through internal high-stability standards.
To choose the operation mode press the blue MODE button while the main screen is displayed. Check the main screen to verify the desired operational mode is displayed. Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 - User Manual...
Turn the rotary knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to navigate the available current level options (50, 100, 150, or 200) A. Confirm the choice by pressing the SAVE button or rotary knob. To abort the setup press ESC. Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 - User Manual...
120 seconds. The test will conclude after 120 seconds, even if you manually set the current back below 100 A before the conclusion of the test. To abort the setup process, press ESC or press the rotary knob for 2 seconds. Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 - User Manual...
4.8 MEASUREMENT FILTERING AND WORKING FREQUENCY The Model 6292 has a strong filter to cancel the (50 or 60) Hz noise present in a measurement due to the induction generated by high voltage substations. The working frequency is auto detected by the instrument, with the appropriate filter selected automatically.
■ OVERRANGE: Indicates that the resistance is above the maximum range for the Model 6292. ■ OVERHEATING: Indicates that the instrument has reached the maximum internal temperature limit. This message will blink. Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 - User Manual...
■ Test number ■ Current of test (in BSG mode, both the test current and ground current are displayed) ■ Partial, final and total time of test ■ Measured resistance ■ Date and time Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 - User Manual...
4.11 STORING OBJECTS IN MEMORY The storage capacity for the Model 6292 is approximately (1600 to 8000) readings depending on how the tests are stored. For example, if a new object is created for each measurement, only around 1600 results can be saved. But if the name of the object is never changed, it is then possible to save up to 8000 measurements.
Turn the rotary knob clockwise or counter-clockwise to navigate through the mea- surements recorded during this test. A test can have several partial results stored. Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 - User Manual...
-------100% 4.13 REMOVING TESTS AND OBJECTS FROM MEMORY To conserve available memory on the Model 6292, you can delete individual tests or objects. You can also clear memory, deleting all currently stored objects at once. 4.13.1 Erasing a Single Test To erase a single test within an object: ■...
■ Select Clear All. To prevent accidental erasing of the memory, the instrument will ask you to confirm whether or not you want to proceed. CLEAR MEMORY! CONFIRM? WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER! Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 - User Manual...
When unused spaces are found, the com- paction process is started. This may take several seconds before completing. This scan occurs every time you erase objects or tests from memory. Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 - User Manual...
Click Exit to close. The DataView folder appears on your computer desktop. 7. Open the DataView folder on your desktop. This displays a list of icons for the Control Panel(s) installed with DataView. Micro-Ohmmeter Model 6292 - User Manual...
■ Communication Rate: The serial transfer rate for communicating with the instrument. The Model 6292 defaults to communication rate 57600. ■ Instrument Model: The type of micro-ohmmeter instrument with which your PC is communicating. After you make your selections, click OK to make the connection or Cancel to exit the dialog without establishing communication.
