Declaration

The descriptions contained in this manual may not cover all information about this instrument.

Introductions to the improvements of the instrument in performance, function, internal structure,

outer appearance, accessories, packing material, etc. are subject to change without notice. If you

find any inconformity of this manual with our instruments, please contact us for further

consultation by the address listed on the cover.

ST2515 Operation Manual

1)Introduction to Instrument, Unpacking and

Installing

Thank you for your purchase and use of our products! This chapter will introduce the basic

instrument performance, which is followed by notes of unpacking and installing.

1.1Introduction to Instrument

ST2515 is a DC Resistance Meter with color LCD display and touch function. Its accuracy of 0.01%

is able to meet general resistance test requirements. Better measurement result is obtained for

temperature-sensitive resistors by the adoption of temperature compensation function. Statistic

function has the capacity to make statistic analysis of massive test data.

ST2515 is a powerful test tool for all kinds of resistor design, detection, quality control and

production. Its high test speed is applicable to the spot-check machines on production lines. With

multiple output data and comparison mode, ST2515 can meet different test requirements of

different resistor manufacturers. The prominent performance makes the test results come up to

IEC and MIL standard.

1.2Unpacking

Inspect the shipping container for damage after unpacking it. It is not recommended to power on

the instrument in the case of a damage container.

If the contents in the container do not conform to the packing list, notify us or your dealer.

1.3Power Connection

1) Power supply: 90V to 240V (dependable on the voltage setup on the rear panel).

2) Power supply frequencies: 50Hz and 60Hz

3) Power supply power range: ≤30VA

4) L (line wire), N (neutral wire) and E (earth ground wire) of the power supply input socket

should correspond to the power plug of the instrument.

5) The instrument has been specially designed for decreasing noise jamming caused by the

input in AC power terminal, but it is also recommended to use it in the environment of low

noise. If noises cannot be avoided, install a power source filter please.

WARNING: To avoid injury to personnel and damage to the instrument resulting from electric

shock, do ensure that the earth ground wire is safely grounded.

ST2515 Operation Manual

1.4Fuse

The fuse is a standard configuration, so use the included custom fuse please.

1.5Environment

1) Do not store or use the instrument where it could be exposed to many dusts, great vibration,

direct sunshine and corrosive gas.

2) Operating conditions:

Temperature 0°C to 40°C

Relative humidity ≤80%, no condensation

Storage conditions:

Temperature -10°C to 50°C

Relative humidity ≤90%, no condensation

3) For high accuracy, do not block the left air vent so as to ensure good ventilation.

4) The instrument has been specially designed for decreasing noise jamming caused by the AC

power input, but it is also recommended to use it in the environment of low noise. If noise

cannot be avoided, install a power filter please.

5) Test leads on the instrument that are connected to DUTs should be kept away from strong

electromagnetic fields to avoid interference.

1.6Use of Test Fixture

Only use the test fixture or cable made by our company, because the use of other test fixtures or

cables may result in incorrect measurement results. In addition, for good contact of DUT and

fixture, keep the test fixture or cable and pins of DUT clean.

Connect the test fixture or cable to HI and LO terminals on the instrument front panel. Ensure the

color and arrow conformity of the test fixture with that of sockets on panels, thus to avoid

abnormal measurement.

1.7Warm-up

1) For accurate measurement, the warm-up time should not be less than 30 minutes.

2) Do not turn on or off the instrument frequently. This may cause internal data confusion.

1.8Other Features

1) Consumption: ≤10VA

2) Dimensions (W*H*D): 235mm*104mm*360mm; this dimension is the final packaging size.

3) Weight: Approx. 3.6kg
