Operation

Basic Principles of 4-wire Measurements

For each range, the meter provides a specific amount of test current (refer to General

Specifications) which flows from the HI to the LO meter terminal and therefore from the HI

to the LO clip lead (Refer to the diagram). This is the current that ultimately passes through

the device under test (RX in diagram below).

Once the test current is applied to the device under test, clip leads Rx1 & Rx2 measure the

voltage drop across the device under test. The following equations detail how the meter

accomplishes its measurement tasks.

Measurement Equations

Vx = Is x Rx;

Where Vx is the voltage (measured by the meter) across the device under test; Is is the

test current; Rx is the resistance of the device under test. From Vx = Is x Rx, the meter

moves to the next step which is: Rx = Vx/Is. With this equation the meter determines the

resistance of the device under test. Note that the measured resistance (Rx1 & Rx2) is not

affected by stray resistance since the test current is supplied directly to the device under

test. This is the advantage of the 4-wire Kelvin lead configuration over 2-wire methods

which introduce errors into low resistance measurements.

Powering the Meter

Connect the meter to the correct power source (110 or 220VAC); the Model 380460 uses

110VAC and the Model 380462 uses 220VAC (note that these meters are NOT

interchangeable). Do not apply voltage to the meter input measurement terminals. Meter

damage may result.

Measurement Procedure

1. Rotate the Range select switch to the 200m range to prepare for zeroing. Ensure that

200m is selected on the 200m select switch.

2. Perform a Zero Adjustment per the following:

•Short the Kelvin Clips as shown in the diagram below.

•Rotate the Zero Adjust Knob until the meter indicates zero units.

3. Select the desired measuring range via the rotary Range select switch. When using the

200m range, put the 200m select switch to the 200m position; for all other

measurements put this switch in the opposite position.

4. Either clip the leads onto a component or clip the leads between two points in a circuit.

5. Observe the meter reading.
