Grounding (Earthing)

Before any other connection is made the instrument must be connected to a

protective earth conductor via the three-wire power cable.
The power plug shall be inserted only into a grounded outlet.
Do not defeat the protectiveaction by using an extension cord without a grounded
conductor.
Do not connect a protective ground conductor into the measurement contacts
on the front panel, the four contacts of the connector to which the circuit ground
is applied, or the external contact of the connector plug.

WARNING
Any interruption of the protective ground conductor inside or outside
the instrument or disconnection of the protective ground terminal, is
likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited.

1.I .3

Connections

The circuit ground potential is applied to four of the eight contacts of the front
panel connector and is connected to the instrument case via parallel-connected
capacitors and a resistor. The external contact of the connector is connected to
the instrument case. This avoids ac ground loops while providing good RF
grounding.
If the circuit ground potential in a measurement setup is different from the protective ground potential, make sure that the four contacts of the front panel connector
are not live.

MAIN FEATURES

2-1

MAIN FEATURES

The PM6304 Programmable Automatic RCL Meter is used for precise measurements of resistance, capacitance, and inductance. Its basic accuracy is 0.1 %.
The PM6304C Programmable Automatic RCL Meter has a higher accuracy of
0.05 % at test signal frequencies up to 2 kHz. The instrument provides an autofunction and autoranging feature. It allows fast and high precision measurements
and diagnostic of passive components over a wide range.
The component to be measured is connected to the instrument via front panel
posts, the PM 9541A four-wire test cable, or the PM 9542A four-terminal test
adapter. The Adapter PM 9542SMD or the PM 9540/TWE SMD Tweezers for
surface-mounted components are also available.
Measurements are performed using a four-wire system.
The test frequency is selectable in the range from 50 Hz to 100 kHz.
Three test voltages are available: 2 V, 1 V, and 50 mV rms.
The measurement result, the numerical value, dimension, and the equivalent
circuit symbol, are all displayed on the large five-digit liquid-crystaldisplay (LCD),
which is updated at a rate of approximately two measurements per second.
A microprocessor controls the measurement process, computes the measurement value, and transfers the result to the display.

In the AUTO mode the dominant and the secondary parameter, either R, C, or L
of the component under test is automatically selected for display.
For example, for an inductance with a quality factor Q between 1 and 1000, the
instrument indicates the measurement value of the series inductance and the
series resistance and as the equivalent-circuit symbol, the series connection of
an inductance and a resistance.
In addition to AUTO mode, the following modes can be selected:
series respectively parallel components
impedance Z
phase angle Q
quality factor Q, dissipation factor D
component voltage V,, component current ,I

MAIN FEATURES

PM6304

An internal DC BlAS voltage (2 V dc) can be added to the measurement voltage

for electrolytic capacitors.
An external DC BlAS voltage can also be selected, up to 40 V dc.
DC resistance measurements without an ac test signal can be made by using the
optional PM 9565 DC Unit.
The instrument can be programmed and can transfer its measurement data via
the optional PM 9548 lnterface for IEEE-488, or via the PM 9549 lnterface for
RS-232. Ten measurements per second are also possible. The RS-232 lnterface
also allows output of measurement results directly to a printer with no controller
needed.
For sorting and binning of components, the optional infrared remote control, the
PM 9559 Bin Programmer, and the PM 9566 Handler lnterface are available.
Nine complete instrument settings can be stored and recalled for fast and convenient setup.

For open-circuit trimming when you are measuring small capacitances, set the
opening of the tweezers to the size of the component.
The two-wire measuring technique and the pressure applied by the tips of the
tweezers can cause a measuring error in addition to the basic error of the RCL
Meter, due to the additional serial resistance (typical 0.02 GI). The presence of dirt
or contaminants on the tips of the tweezers can also affect measurements. The
tips may be periodically cleaned with alcohol and a non-abrasivecloth.
PM 9540/BAN Test Cable with Banana Plugs

Use the test cable if you need banana plugs for your own special applications.

The test cable is connected to the instrumentvia the round plug on the front panel
(red marking face to face).
When you perform ZERO TRIM short-circuit DRIVE+ with SENSE+ and DRIVEwith SENSE- for the open-circuit trimming. Short-circuit all four plugs for the

THE PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT

4-1

The component measurement is based on the current and voltage technique. The
component voltage and the component current are measured and converted into
binary values. From these values the CPU calculates the electrical parameters of
the component. According to the front panel parameter selection different parameters are displayed. Via AUTO mode or by pressing the SERIPAR key when
AUTO mode was selected, the dominant and secondary parameters (resistance,
capacitance, or inductance) are displayed. In addition manually selected parameter can be displayed (Q, D, 2, @, V, or I,).
Each measurement cycle lasts approximately 0.5 seconds. For AC measurements one cycle consists of seven single measurements, the results of which are
stored and arithmetically evaluated. Finally the result is transferred to the display.
The seven single measurements are as follows:
1. Voltage Measurement:

The seven measured values are stored at the end of the single measurements.
The microprocessor uses the measured values to calculate the equivalent series
resistance Rs, the equivalent series reactance Xs, and the quality factor
Q = XsIRs of the component. In AUTO mode the microprocessor determines the
dominant and secondary parameter, calculates its value, and displays it together
with the equivalent circuit symbol. If one of the other parameters is manually
selected, this parameter is calculated and displayed. After that the next

For accurate measurement, you should select an appropriate test signal frequency; see Section 4.2.
If you measure the same component mentioned in the preceding example, with
a test signal frequency that is too low, the resistive part of the capacitive component dominates.
So the instrument determines a resistor as the dominant parameter.

Example: Test signal frequency 100 Hz

MEASURING COMPONENTS

4.2.1

Test Signal Frequency and Voltage

PM6304

Resistors, inductors, and capacitors are not ideal electrical components. They all
have secondary effects that limit their performance. Understanding the effects is
important in understanding the results displayed on the RCL meter. For example,
a resistor has shunt capacitance and lead inductance. Inductors have shunt
capacitance and resistance in their windings.
The differing reaction of these components, which depends on the frequency and
test signal voltage, requires methods of measurement adapted to each situation.
To this end, the PM6304 / PM6304C has afrequency range from 50 Hz to 100 kHz.
Resolution: 50, 60, 100, 120, 200, 300, 400 Hz to 19.9 kHz, 20 kHz, 100 kHz
The analog-to-digital converter (ADC), used for digitizing the measured values,
is basically insensitive to hum interfered into the measurement setup. Hum interference may degrade measurement accuracy using test frequencies of 60 Hz or
120 Hz at 50 Hz AC power or 50 Hz test frequency at 60 Hz AC power.
The following can be selected as the test signal voltage:
AC voltage:
DC voltage (option):
2 V, 400 D internal resistance
2 V, 400 Q internal resistance
1 V, 100 Q internal resistance
1 V, 100 Q internal resistance
50 mV, 100 Q internal resistance
300 mV, 100 D internal resistance
An internal 2 V dc bias voltage or an external bias of maximum 40 V dc can be
added to the AC voltage signal. The external voltage must be free of hums, particularly if test signal frequency is 50 Hz or 60 Hz (line frequencies).
If you measure components with Z > 10 kQ and if you use an external bias source
with an impedance >50 Q, perform open-circuit trimming with bias voltage
applied.
WARNING
A 40 volt external bias can charge a capacitor to a high enough voltage
that it can cause injury if it is accidentally discharged. Verify that polarized capacitors are installed with the correct polarity before applying
a bias voltage.

Resistors

In principle in addition to its purely resistive component, a resistor has capacitive

and inductive components.

R = DC resistance.
Ls = Inductance of any windinglcoiling and of the components leads.
Cp = Shunt capacitance across the resistive component.

In the case of wire-wound resistors, C and L are relatively high due to the winding.
In the case of film resistors, these values are considerably smaller.
With low-valued resistors ( < I kQ), the series inductive component dominates.

With high-valued resistors ( > I kQ), C predominates.

The effect of C and L limits the high frequency performance of the component.
Measurement Conditions:
Select a low test signal frequency, i.e., 1 kHz or measure with DC voltage (option).
In the case of resistors in the megohm range, the instrument might recognize the
shunt capacitor as the dominant component if the measurement frequency is too
high.

C

(mainly in the nH area).

= Resistance of the bonding (5 to 10 ohms in unfavorable cases).

Electrolytic Capacitors:
With AC voltage

L
= lnductance of the connections and of the winding.
ESR = Equivalent series resistance:
Resistance of the electrolytes, the dielectric, DC resistance
of the mechanical structure. The ESR depends on the frequency.
C = Overall capacitance.

With DC voltage

= Overall capacitance.

RlsoL = Insulating resistance, it determines the leakage current of the component.

Electrolytic capacitors operate at lower frequencies (usually c 10 kHz).
Measurement Conditions:
The frequency for the test signal should not be selected too high as otherwise a
capacitance that is too high is measured when the resonant frequency is
approached.

f, = self-resonant frequency
If the frequency is too low, the ohmic and inductive components falsify the result.
A test frequency lower than f,/30 should be taken as the approximate value.
For example:
Typical self-resonant frequency for a 100 yF capacitor is 50 kHz; select test signal
frequency less than 1.6 kHz.
Electrolytic capacitors used for smoothing in power supplies should be measured
at their operating frequency (100 Hz or 120 Hz).
In order to determine the real dissipation components, a high test frequency is
selected for the serial losses and a low one for the parallel losses.
Use DC voltage for measuring the insulating resistance.

Coil with iron core

Rs = DC resistance of the copper winding

RE = Core loss
Cp = Capacitance of the winding
L = Inductance
Measurement Conditions:
As in the case of the capacitor, the test frequency (fTEST)should lie far below
the self-resonant frequency (fo). The fo frequency can be very low because of
the relatively high capacitance of the winding.

It is advisable to measure the coil close to its operating frequency if the reaction
of the coil under operating conditions is to be determined.
Avoltage level that is not too high must be selected for coils because of the saturation effect caused by the iron core. For this purpose, the PM6304 offers a voltage
reduced to 50 mV.
Use DC voltage to measure the resistance of the winding.

AUTOMATIC ZERO TRIM

When pressing the ZERO TRlM key for approximately 2 seconds the instrument
performs an impedance measurement of the measurement setup and stores the
value determined. The display shows PASS. For all further measurements this
value will be taken into consideration. To ensure best measuring accuracy you
should perform ZERO TRlM when you change the measurement setup, the
test signal frequency, or the test signal voltage when the test signal
frequency is 1 10 kHz.
If you press the ZERO TRlM key with a component connected with an impedance
of <10 Q or >I00 kQ, the value of the component will be taken into consideration. At open or short-circuited contacts of the measurement setup the instrument now indicates a negative resistance value, for instance, or an inductance
in case of a connected capacitance (or a capacitor in case of a an inductance.)
Please perform ZERO TRlM once again without any component connected in order to obtain correct values.
The TRIM data are stored in a memory and will persist even if the instrument is
switched off.
Note: If you use the test cable with PM 9541A Kelvin Clips, the PM 9542A RCL
Adapter, or the PM 9540TTWE, SMD Tweezer for test signal frequencies
2 1 0 kHz, you should not change the setup after trimming.
To avoid measurement errors, do not touch the contacts during measuring.
Short-circuit Trimming
For measuring low impedances, below 100 Q in particular, please short-circuit
the contacts of the measurement setup and press the ZERO TRlM key for approximately 2 seconds. The display shows bUSY and Sct (short-circuit).The instrument now performs a measurement and stores the value determined, which is the
short circuit impedance. The display shows PASS. For all further measurements
this value is taken into consideration, including the line and contact impedances.
If during short circuit trimming the measured impedance is >10 Q, FAIL will be
displayed.

Open-Circuit Trimming
When you measure low capacitances with high test signal frequency the opencircuit impedance of the measurement setup may affect the result. Remove any
connected component and press the ZERO TRIM key for approximately 2 seconds. The display shows bUSY and Oct (open-circuit).The instrument performs
a measurement considering the value determined, which is the open-circuit impedance, for all following measurements. The display shows PASS.
If the impedance measured during open-circuit trimming is c 100 kS2, the diplsay
shows FAIL.
For the ZERO TRIM the contacts DRIVE+ and SENSE+ as well as DRIVE- and
SENSE- should be connected. As far as the adapters available from Fluke are
concerned, this is normally ensured automatically, except for the PM 9540lBAN
cable and for the PM 9542SMD SMD Adapter.
If you use the PM 9540lBAN cable in your own special application short-circuit
DRIVE+ with SENSE+ and DRIVE- with SENSE- for the open-circuit trimming.
Short-circuit all four plugs for the short-circuit trimming.
As far as the SMD Adapter is concerned the contacts are insulated from each
other. The contacts are only closed when a component is inserted.

BINNING

4.6.1

Introduction

PM6304

Binning means sorting components by their measured value into boxes or similar
containers.
During the binning process with the PM6304, similar component values are allocated to defined sorting fields known as bins to obtain better tolerances, closer
matching or passlfail sorting.
You can define a maximum of 10 bins. For this purpose, you can use an interface
for remote control with a PC (IEEE-488 or RS-232 as an option) or an infrared
remote control, the PM 9559 Bin Programmer (option).
The instructions for programming with the PC are described in detail in the
PROGRAMMERS MANUAL and in brief form in Chapter 5. This section describes
binning using the PM 9559 infrared remote control.
The PM6304 checks the component according to the criteria of bins 1 to 9, last
of all according to bin 0, and displays the bin the component is allocatedto. If none
of these requirements are met, the display shows FAIL.
Values and limits (tolerances) for 10 complete bin records, each record for a maximum of ten bins (bins 0 to 9), including the selected instrument settings can be
stored in registers of the PM 6304. These registers are independent of those that
contain the instrument settings typed in at the front panel.
The limits of the bins can be defined in the following ways according to the various
demands:
Binning components can be defined with a certain value according to different
tolerance classes, for example, for quality control or incoming inspection.

...

The instrument checks in the sequence bin 1, bin 2 to bin 9 and then bin 0.
If the greatest tolerance is programmed for bin 1, then all components lying
within this tolerance are immediately allocated to bin 1.
A different parameter than that for bin 1 to 9 can be defined for bin 0.
For example, bins 1 to 9 check the tolerance of a capacitor and bin 0 checks at
last the quality factor of the capacitor.

When storing, the instrument checks the values entered for plausibility. A nominal
value with an upper limit of +5 % and a lower limit of +5% or avalue without limits
would not be accepted. The instrument displays Error and the number of the bin
concerned.
No check is made whether the tolerances selected lie in the accuracy range of

The instrument is set to the bin mode by pressing the BINNING key. The
instrument settings stored in the memory are adopted. The instrument switches
automatically to single measurement to avoid measuring errors when inserting
or removing the components to be measured.
The display shows maximum five digits. The instrument calculates with a higher
resolution. For example, the upper limit for bin 1 is 100 52, the instrument measures
100.004 S2; in this case the display shows 100.00 S2, but the component is correctly allocated to bin 2.
Insert the component and start measuring by pressing the TRIGGER key.
The PM6304 checks the component according to the criteria of the individual bins
and shows in what bin the component is and its value. If none of the criteria of bin
1 to 9 are met, the display shows FAIL, see table on Page 4 - 25.

BINNING
In this mode, the instrument checks the component to be measured according
to the criteria for the bins entered beforehand; for instrument settings, see Section 4.6.2.4. If the component meets the criteria of a bin, that means, it is within
a defined tolerance, the display shows the number of the bin. If the component
cannot be allocated to any bin, the display shows FAIL.
External control lines can be connected by means of a handler interface (option).
This enables an automatic binning device to be operated or an optical display with

Calibrate

The instrument was calibrated in the factory prior to shipment. The calibrating
data are stored in an EEPROM and are taken into account during every measurement.
It is necessary to calibrate again after loss of data (replacing the EEPROM), after
changing components during repair which might influence the measuring result
or when the instrument does not comply with the technical specifications. In
normal operation, recalibration once a year is sufficient. More details on this can
be found in the SERVICE MANUAL.
The calibrating data are protected by a code number.

evitar riesgos en el uso, hay que seguir cuidadosamente las indicaciones
siguientes.
1.1.1

Reparation y rnantenirniento

Defectos y esfuerzos extraordinarios:

Si se piensa que el aparato ya no puede funcionar sin riesgo, hay que apagarlo
y asegurarse de que no se ponga en funcionamiento inadvertidamente. Este es
el caso:
cuando el aparato presenta daAos visibles,
cuando el aparato ya no funciona,
luego de haber sido sornetido a esfuerzos excesivos de cualquier tip0 (p.e. en
el almacenaje o el transporte) que sobrepasan 10s lirnites permitidos.

Abrir el aparato:
Al abrir algunas tapas o al desmontar piezas con herramientas pueden quedar
al descubierto partes bajo tension electrica. Tambien puede haber tension en 10s
puntos de conexion. Antes de abrir el aparato hay que desconectarlo de todas
las fuentes de alirnentacion.

Si es inevitable realizar un calibrado, rnantenirniento o reparacion con el aparat0 abierto que se encuentra bajo tension, solo debe hacerlo un tecnico cualificad0 que conozca 10s riesgos que existen. Los condensadores del aparato pueden seguir estando cargados airn cuando este haya sido desconectado de todas
las fuentes de alimentacion.

proteccion mediante el cable de alimentacion de tres conductores.
El enchufe de la red debe ser insertado solo en tomacorrientes con contacto de
seguridad de tierra.
No se deben anular estas medidas de seguridad, p.e. usando un cable de extension sin contactor de proteccion.
La puesta protectora a tierra a traves de 10s contactos de medicion en la placa
frontal, a traves de 10s 4 contactos de la toma a la cual se aplica el potencial de
tierra del circuito o a traves del contacto exterior de la toma o de la clavija es inadmisible.
ADVERTENCIA: Toda interrupcion del contactor de proteccion dentro o
fuera del aparato, o la separacion de la conexion de la
puesta protectora a tierra es peligrosa.
Se prohibe hacer la interrupcion expresamente.

1.1.3

Contactos y conexiones

El potencial de tierra del circuito se aplica a 4 de 10s 8 contactos de la toma,

estando este conectado en paralelo a la carcasa del aparato por medio de condensadores y resistencia; el contacto exterior de la toma esta unido a la carcasa
del aparato. De esta forma se evitan zumbidos y se obtiene una clara puesta a
tierra de HE
Si al efectuar una medicion se observa que el potencial de tierra del circuito electrico difiere del potencial de tierra de proteccion, se ha de tener en cuenta que
10s 4 contactos de la toma no deban estar conectados a tensiones que Sean peligrosas a1 menor contacto.

L'apparecchio viene fornito dalla fabbrica perfettamente sicuro e funzionante dal

punto di vista tecnico (vedi Cap. 1, Reference Manual). Per preservarlo in condizioni ottimali e garantirne un corretto funzionamento, attenersi scrupolosamente
alle seguenti istruzioni.

1.1.I

Riparazione e manutenzione

Funzionamento anomalo e sollecitazioni eccessive:

Qualora il funzionamento non risultasse regolare, spegnere subito I'apparecchio
e prevenirne ogni accensione accidentale.
Le precauzioni di cui sopra vanno adottate nei seguenti casi:
se I'apparecchio mostra dei danni visibili,
se l'apparecchio non funziona piu,
se I'apparecchio e stato sottoposto a sollecitazioni (ad esempio durante il magazzinaggio, il trasporto, ecc.) oltre i limiti di tolleranza ammessi.
Apertura dell'apparecchio:
Se i coperchi o alcune parti dell'apparecchio vengono rimossi con appositi attrezzi, pub darsi che risultino esposti dei componenti sotto tensione. Anche i punti
di connessione possono essere sotto tensione. Prima di aprire I'apparecchio occorre quindi disinnestarlo dalle relative prese di corrente.
Se fosse necessario eseguire interventi di calibrazione, manutenzione o riparazione con I'apparecchio aperto e sotto tensione, rivolgersi a personale specializzato che conosca bene i probabili rischi nelle procedure da adottare. Potrebbe
darsi che i condensatori dentro all'apparecchio siano ancora carichi anche se
I'apparecchio e stato disinnestato dale relative prese di corrente.

Messa a terra

Prima di eseguire un qualsiasi collegamento, mediante il cavo di alimentazione

tripolare I'apparecchio deve essere allacciato ad un conduttore di protezione.
La spina del cavo di alimentazione deve essere inserita soltanto in una presa
munita di contatto di messa a terra.
Questa norma resta comunque valida, anche se si utilizza un cavo di prolunga
senza conduttore di protezione.
I contatti di misura sulla piastra anteriore o i quattro contatti della presa su cui
viene applicato il potenziale di terra del circuito di alimentazione, o il contatto
esterno della presalspina, o le prese alla piastra posteriore non devono essere
utilizzati per collegare un conduttore di terra protettivo.
ATTENZIONE: E' estremamente pericoloso interrompere il conduttore di
protezione interno o esterno all'apparecchio o i contatti di
messa a terra. Evitare quindi di farlo intenzionalmente.

1.I .3

Contatti e collegamenti

I1 potenziale di terra del circuito di alimentazione viene applicato a quattro degli

otto contatti della presa e condotto alla carcassa dell'apparecchio tramite condensatori e una resistenza collegati in parallelo; il contatto esterno della presa
viene collegato alla carcassa dell'apparecchio. In tal modo, viene realizzato un
collegamento di messa a terra RF univoco esente da interferenze.
Se il potenziale di terra del circuito all'interno di una determinata configurazione
fosse differenziato dal potenziale di messa a terra di protezione, occorre accertarsi che i quattro contatti della presa non siano sotto tensione.

INSTRUCTIES MET BETREKKING TOT

DE INSTALLATIE EN VElLlGHElD

Het apparaat heeft de fabriek in een onberispelijke veiligheidstechnische toestand verlaten (zie hoofdstuk 1, Reference Manual). Voor het behoud van deze
toestand en het risicoloze gebruik dienen de onderstaande instructies nauwkeurig te worden opgevolgd.

1.1.1

Reparatie en onderhoud

Storingen en uitzonderlijke omstandigheden

Wanneer verondersteld moet worden dat een risicoloos gebruik niet meer mogelijk is, dient het apparaat buiten gebruik gesteld en tegen een ongewenst gebruik
beveiligd te worden. Deze situatie doet zich voor
wanneer het apparaat zichtbare beschadigingen vertoont,
wanneer het apparaat niet meer functioneert,
na blootstelling aan excessieve omstandighedenvan welke aard dan ook (bij
voorbeeld bij opslag, transport) die de toelaatbare grenzen overschrijden.
Openen van het apparaat
Bij het openen van afdekkingen of bij het met behulp van gereedschap verwijderen van onderdelen, kan het risico van contact met spanningvoerende delen ontstaan. Ook kan er spanning op aansluitpunten aanwezig zijn. Het apparaat mag
pas geopend worden nadat het van alle spanningsbronnen losgenomen is.
Wanneer ijk-, onderhouds- of herstelwerkzaamheden aan een open en onder
spanning staand apparaat onvermijdelijk zijn, mogen deze slechts worden
uitgevoerd door een vakman die weet met welke gevaren dit gepaard gaat. In het
apparaat aanwezige condensators kunnen nog geladen zijn, ook wanneer het
apparaat van alle spanningsbronnen is losgenomen.

INSTRUCTIES MET BETREKKING TOT

1.1.2

Aarding

Alvorens men een verbinding tot stand brengt, dient men het apparaat met
behulp van een drieaderige kabel met een veligheidsaarddraad te verbinden.
De netsteker mag slechts op een stopcontact met randaarde worden aangesloten.
Deze veiligheidsmaatregel mag niet onwerkzaam gemaakt worden, bij voorbeeld
door het gebruik van een verlengsnoer dat niet van een veiligheidsaarddraad
voorzien is.
Een beschermde aarde aansluiting via de meetansluitingen aan de voorkant,
over de 4 steker contacten welke op schakelnulpunt-potentiaal liggen, via het
externe contact van de steker (stekerhuis) of van de steker, of via de stekers aan
de achterkant is niet toegestaan.
-

---

WAARSCHUWING: Elke onderbreking van de beschermende aardleiding,

hetzij binnen of buiten het apparaat, of de scheiding
ten opzichte van de aardleiding zijn gevaarlijk. Een
opzettelijke onderbreking is verboden.

1.1.3

Aansluitingen en verbindingen

Het aardpotentiaal van de stroomkringen wordt aan 4 van de 8 contacten van de

steker verbonden, en is met het huis verbonden via parallel aangesloten condensators en weerstand; het externe contact van de steker (stekerhuis) is met de
behuizing verbonden.
Op deze manier wordt een duidelijke bromvrije HF-aarding tot stand gebracht.
Wanneer in een meetopstelling het schakelnulpunt-potentiaal van een stroomkring afwijkt van het beschermde aardpotentiaal, dan dient men er op bedacht
te zijn, dat de 4 contacten van de steker geen gevaarlijke spanningen mogen
voeren!

Netspanningsinstelling en zekeringen

Alvorens men de netsteker op het lichtnet aansluit, dient men zich ervan te vergewissen dat het apparaat op de plaatselijke netspanning is afgesteld.
WAARSCHUWING: Wanneer de netsteker aan de plaatselijke situatie moet
worden aangepast, mag deze aanpassing slechts
door een vakman worden uitgevoerd.

Noord-Amerika
Engeland (U.K.)
Zwitserland
Australie
Op de achterwand van het apparaat zijn de netspanning waarop het apparaat is
afgesteld en de hierbij behorende zekering vermeld.
Men dient erop te letten dat men bij het vervangen van een zekering slechts een
exemplaar met de gespecificeerde nominale stroomsterkte en van het gespecificeerde type mag gebruiken. Het gebruik van gerepareerde zekeringen en/of het
kortsluiten van de zekeringhouder zijn verboden. De zekering mag slechts vervangen worden door een vakman die weet met welke gevaren dit gepaard gaat.
WAARSCHUWING: Bij het vervangen van een zekering en bij het instellen
op een andere netspanning moet het apparaat van alle
spanningsbronnenworden losgenomen.

Het apparaat kan op de volgende netspanningen worden ingesteld: 100 volt,

120 volt, 220 volt en 240 volt wisselspanning. Deze nominale spanningen kunnen
met de spanningskiezer (die gecombineerd is met de netaansluitbus op de achterwand) worden ingesteld.

De zekering bevindt zich in een houder op dezelfde plaats. Voor het instellen van
de netspanning of het vervangen van een zekering moet de voedingskabel losgenomen worden en het afdekplaatje met een schroevedraaier worden verwijderd.
(zie tekening).
Men kiest de juiste spanning door het verdraaien van het instelwiel. lndien nodig
moet de bijbehorende zekering in plaats van de reeds aanwezigezekering worden
aangebracht - T0.2A of T0.4A (IEC127) of T0.25A of T0.5A (CSAIUL198G).

1.2

GEBRUlKSPOSlTlE VAN HET APPARAAT

Het apparaat mag in de in hoofdstuk 1, Reference Manual beschreven posities

gebruikt worden. Wanneer de stelvoet naar beneden geklapt is, kan het apparaat in een schuingeplaatste positie gebruikt worden. De technische specificatie
in hoofdstuk 1, Reference Manual is van toepassing op de gespecificeerde
gebruiksposities. Het erop dat de ventilatieopeningen van het apparaat niet
afgedekt worden. Het apparaat nooit installeren op een oppervlak dat warmte
genereert of uitstraalt, en het evenmin aan rechtstreekse zonnestraling blootstellen.

1.3

RADIO-ONTSTORING

Wat radio-ontstoring betreft is het apparaat zorgvuldig ontstoord en gecontroleerd. Bij het schakelen in combinatie met basisunits die niet correct onstoord zijn
en met andere perifere apparatuur, kan radiostoring optreden. In de desbetreffende gevallen maakt dit aanvullende maatregelen op radio-ontstoringsgebied
noodzakelijk.
