DIGITAL MICRO OHM METER INNOVA

INTRODUCTION I-563C
INNOVA digital Micro Ohm meter is a high reliability 3 ½ Digit instrument suitable for
measurement of resistivity of copper wires from 7/0 SWG to 50 SWG, resistance of
cables,windings coils, heater elements and contact resistances of switches, relays etc.
The instrument has been designed to provide stable, repeatable and quick read outs of
resistance.The instrument uses a 4 terminal measurement so that resistance of test
leads and contacts are eliminated from test results. Actual value of resistor is directly
displayed in the seven segment 12.5mm Display.

0-19.99K 0.075mA +/- 0.2% +2 Digits

WARMUP time for rated Accuracy is 5 Minutes.

INPUT VOLTAGE : 230V AC +/- 10% , 10W approx.


OVER RANGE : ‘1’ appears.

TEST PROCEDURE:
1. TO DETERMINE THE RESISTIVITY OF COPPER WIRES.
ZERO SETTING: Connect the test leads -V & +V only. Do not connect -I & +I leads.
Selector switch should be in 1999u Ohm position. Switch ‘ON’ power and stabilise
instrument for 5 Minutes.
Set Zero by zero setting knob. Best Zero setting is when ‘-’ sign blinks. During
measurement,zero setting may be made by removing +I lead even while the other leads
are connected to the unit under test. Range of 199.9m Ohms and 19.99 Ohms do not
need Zero setting and stabilization.
Connect sample conductor in 4 terminal connection as follows:
>

>
-I -V L > +V +I

-I & + I = Current Leads , -V & +V =,Potential Leads.


L= the instrument indicates resistance of conductor in Length L, the distance between
Potential leads should be kept 1metre for convenience.Keep current leads well away
from potential leads.Take care that clip -I should NOT touch-V &+V directly except
through conductor.

2. MEASUREMENT OF RESISTANCE OF TRANSFORMERS,MOTORS ETC.

Connect leads in 2 or 4 terminal arrangement. Switch’ON’ poer. Chnage range if


Required. Wait for a few seconds for a stable reading. Switch off power and disconnect
leads and change over to next measurement. Do not disconnect leads when instrument
is ‘ON’.

3. CALCULATION OF HEATER RESISTANCE

V2/W = R ....................................where V=Heater operating voltage


W= Wattage of heater
R=Resistance of heater.
4. MEASUREMENT OF TEMPERATURE RISE

Of copper windings by increase in resistance( IS-9678-1980).

T2 +235 R2
T1 +235 R1 where

T2 = Temperature in Deg. C of winding at the end of the test.


R2= Resistance of winding at the end of the test.
T1 = Temperature in Deg. C of winding (cold) at the moment of initial resistance
measurement,and
R1= Initial resistance of winding.

5. INSTRUMENT ADJUSTMENT & CALIBRATION.


Test instruments required:
1. Std. 200mV DC meter of 4 ½ digit of known accuracy.
2 .Std. resistance of 1m Ohms,10m Ohms, 100m Ohms, 1 Ohm ,10 Ohms, 1K Ohm
& 10 K Ohms.

PROCEDURE:
Connect 10 Ohms std resistor to the instrument. Switch ‘ON’ Power. Clip Std voltmeter
across clips -V & +V. Adjust test current by preset P5 so that Std Voltmeter reads 75mV.
Adjust instruments indication by preset on DPM to read value of std 10 Ohms resistor.
Change range to 1.999 Ohms,Connect 1 Ohm std resistor. Adjust test current by
adjusting preset P4 so that the instrument displays value of std 1 Ohms resistor.
Set all other ranges likewise. All ranges must be adjusted by connecting resistors in
4 Terminal connection. Please recheck calibration using the same resistors.
Please send this manual with the instrument whenever it is sent to a laboratory for
re calibration.
Recommended re calibration cycle is 1 Year.

6. OPERATIONAL SAFETY

Extreme care must be taken while calibrating the instrument as there are dangers of
high voltage inside the instrument.
