DESCRIPTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

Model 252 Digital Impedance Meter is a semi-automatic instrument which permits rapid

measurement of inductance (L), capacitance (C), resistance (R), conductance (G) and dissipation

factor (D) at a test frequency of 1kHz. Measurement accuracy and versatility satisfies most

demanding engineering or Scientific applications.

To operate, merely push the button for the desired function, manually turn the knob to the desired

range, and connect the unknown. KELVIN KLIPS® test leads are included, thus ensuring true four-

terminal connections. The position of the range switch, used in conjunction with the desired

function button and front panel range scale, indicate the unit of measurement being displayed by the

3-1/2 digit LED readout.

Excellent reliability of the Model 252 is assured through use of solid-state devices and etched circuit

board construction. Its small size is ideal for use on bench tops where work space may be at a

premium. The carrying handle tilts the unit to a convenient viewing angle. Rear panel brackets

provide line cord storage and enable it to be operated in a vertical position.

Table 1-1. Model 252 Specifications

Test Frequency: 1kHz ±1%.

Unknown Excitation: The 1kHz voltage (Vx) and current (Ix) levels listed in Table 1-1 are held

constant by an internal amplitude control circuit.

Measurement Rate: Four per second; one second is required for first reading after connecting

unknown to terminals.

Measurement Display: 3-1/2 digit LED with decimal point. Blanked for overload conditions.

Unit Display: Unit of mesurement being displayed by the LED readout is indicated by position

of the range switch, used in conjunction with the desired function button and the

front panel range scale.

External Bias: Rear panel terminals are provided for connection of external supply. 0V to 50VDC,

0.1A maximum. (Read Section 2.2.6 before using external bias.)

Static Charge Protection: Diode and resistor discharge network.
