    Safety instructions On the device RESISTOMAT 2316 and in this manual the following symbols warn about risks: ® Symbols in this manual Signal words The following signal words are used in the operating manual according to the specified hazard classification. DANGER DANGER indicates a hazard with a high level of risk which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

  • Page 10: Introduction

    Introduction IMPORTANT: Read the operation manual carefully before using the equipment, and keep for future reference. Fast and accurate measurements of ultra-small resistances can be made using the RESISTOMAT type ® 2316 milliohmmeter. With its rugged table-top case and membrane keypad, this instrument is designed for both laboratory use and harsh industrial environments.

    6.5.3.1 Handling inductive loads e.g. reactors, cables on reels, motors, coils, trans- formers DANGER The instrument has two measurement inputs connected in parallel; only one of these inputs must be used at any one time. No leads must be plugged into the unused connector for safety reasons.
  • Page 29 The circuit diagram for the protection circuit is shown below. The diode provides a short-circuit for an induction current and discharges an inductance down to a residual voltage of about 3 V. Even though particularly high-power diodes are used, sometimes there may be a prob- lem at the end of the measurement (when disconnecting) if the device under test has a particularly high induc- tance.

    10.2 Calibration and Adjustment The instrument is adjusted digitally. PC software 2316-P001 (purchased separately) and a range of series 1240 calibration resistances are required for the calibration and/or the adjustment. 10.3 Error messages and troubleshooting Fault Possible cause Remedial action Display does not Mains fuse blown.
  • Page 117 Internal device errors After power-up, the instrument checks the calibration data in the data memory, the non-volatile variables in the data memory and the EEPROM on the analog card. Since more than one error can occur at once, the errors are binary coded and displayed on the LCD in the event of an error. Bit 0 set means that non-volatile data in the RAM has been lost.
