Page 19: Operation With Rear Panel Inputs And Scanner
Rack Mounting _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Operation with rear panel inputs and Scanner If the 5017 is to be operated from the rear panel inputs or the built-in scanner, please proceed as follows: 1. Please remove all measurement cables from the connectors and unplug the unit.
Page 20: Miscellaneous
In our opinion, the manual re-positioning of the Front-Rear cable-set connector is not the most elegant, but certainly the safest solution at the moment. This does not mean, however, that PREMA will not come up with a completely new solution in the future. Scanner with Model 5017SC For the model 5017SC with integrated scanner it is important to take the DC and AC voltage limits of the Scanner into account, depending on which option is installed.

6 Calibration _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 6.8 Calibrating DC Voltage Offset Correction for DC Voltage To carry out the Offset Correction for DC Voltage measurements, a short-circuit must be applied to the V-Ω front input connectors (Accessory No. 3016). After triggering a zero-point correction by pressing the zero key, an Offset Measurement is carried out for the currently set measurement range.

Calibration of Resistance Ranges _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 6.9 Calibration of Resistance Ranges Offset Correction When zeroing two-wire resistance measurement, the VΩ-Hi and VΩ-Lo connectors should be short-circuited, by connecting a short-circuit terminator to these front input connectors, instead of the resistance to be measured. In four-wire resistance measurement, the real offset value is determined, by using two short-circuit terminators (Accessory No.

In this range, the unit al- lows precise measurements, with a maximum load error of 1ppm, even at measure- ment objects with an internal resistance of 1kΩ.

Page 99: Common Mode Suppression
7 Operating Instructions _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That is why, in the 5017 a PLL circuit (Phase Locked Loop) is used to synchronize the measurement time with the period of the main line frequency. An integer multiple of the mains period is always contained in the measurement time. Due to the fully integrating measurement process, the positive and negative half- waves of line voltage are neutralized.

DC Voltage Measurement _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The sketch shows the possible thermal voltage sources in a measurement circuit, which can exist at an external connection point (Contact 1/2), but can also occur in the connectors of the measurement unit. It is always important to carry out all connections with the same material, or at least to use materials, that produce very small thermal voltages, when they are put in contact with each other.
Page 101: Resistance Measurement
7 Operating Instructions _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 7.2 Resistance Measurement The resistance measurements of the 5017 are carried out through the DC Current method in a 2-wire or 4-wire connection. A constant current (I) is forced through the resistance to be measured (R); the same current simultaneously flows through a known internal range resistance.
Page 102 Resistance Measurement _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If an Offset Correction is not carried out, a measurement value R m is obtained, which Diagram: Principle of 2-wire resistance measurement is composed of the sum of all the resistances that exist in the measurement circuit (measurement path), and is too high by the lead resistance.

Page 104: Power Dissipation In The Resistors
AC Voltage Measurement _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It is also of advantage to use an integration time greater than 1s, since the greater length of measurement signal integration serves to suppress noisy scatter. Power Dissipation in the Resistors An error source that is often forgotten in the measurement of resistance sensors (e.g. temperature sensors), is the power dissipation in the resistances to be measured, and thereby the self-heating that is associated with it.

For the highest possible resolutions, the AD converter is an integrating converter whereby the direct voltage is converted to a sequence of pulses. The PREMA Multiple Ramp Technique for analog to digital conversion (GPD #2114141, US Patent 3765012) is the basis for a dependable Digital Multimeter with exceptional linearity and extraordinary long-term accuracy using continuous integra- tion of the measured signal without distorting interruptions.

(aging). The converter is composed of PREMA’s customized IC, the external reference, the series resistors, and the integration capacitor. The use of ASICs represents an important advantage here, since space is saved on the one hand, and the possibility of component failure is further reduced on the other hand.
Page 110: Reference
Integrating A to D Converter _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reference The integrating AD converter must be wired up with an external reference. The prop- erties of this reference ultimately determine the long-term stability of the unit. That is why only selected components, which have been tested, and aged, over a long period of time, are put to use in the 5017.
