4. 5 7 Supplying DC Bias 148 5 8 The Residual Charge Protection Function The quoted maximum voltage from which the unit can be protected by this function is for reference purposes only and is not a guaranteed value There may be danger of damage to the 3522 50 unit depending upon the operational circumstances and upon how often such charged capacitors are connected In general you should not rely upon this protection function be sure to discharge charged capacitors properly before connecting them to the test terminals The residual charge protection function is for protection of the 3522 50 unit against the discharge of voltage present in charged capacitors and is not capable of protecting the unit against DC voltage which is constantly applied such as a superimposed DC voltage The maximum voltage for supply to the test terminals of the 3522 50 unit is 10 VDC If this is done there is a danger of damage to the unit For how to supply a DC bias voltage refer to Section 5 7 Supplying DC Bias The 3522 50 has been enhanced by the incorporation of a residual charge protection function If by mistake a charged capacitor is connected to the test terminals this function protects the internal circuitry of the unit from discharge of such residual charge The maximum voltage from which the unit can be protected by this function is determined from the capacitance value of the sample under test by the following equation

If only open circuit compensation has been performed With open circuit compensation only having been performed since no compensation can be performed in terms of the short circuit residual component Zs which is not available thereby deviation in the resultant values will become large if the value of that short circuit residual component Zs is relatively large In order to avoid this sort of thing be sure always to perform both short circuit compensation and also open circuit compensation During DC measurement it is not possible to perform open circuit compensation because the open circuit residual component Yo can be ignored 4 9 Open Circuit Compensation and Short Circuit Compensation 71 4 10 Setting the Trigger The trigger can either be set to internal trigger when continuous testing is performed while automatically generating an internal trigger signal or external trigger when a trigger signal is input from the outside either manually or automatically 4 10 1 Control Screen Sequence Initial screen MENU Press the key Menu screen TRIG TRIE Press the HJ key Select the type of trigger external trigger or Trigger setting screen internal trigger External trigger Internal trigger Inout manually via Testing performed EXT I O or via automatically interface When the setting has been established as above press the key to return to the Initial screen e

11. The measurement range is determined according to the test range setting If the display for the measured value shows OVER FLOW or UNDER FLOW that means that measurement cannot be performed using the currently set test range Either you should set AUTO ranging so as to select the most suitable test range automatically or you should set a more suitable test range manually 4 6 Setting the Ranging 51 2 When the setting has been established as above press the key to return to the Initial screen In the case of a test sample whose impedance changes according to the frequency when testing is being performed with HOLD set it may happen when the frequency is changed over that measurement cannot be continued to be performed upon the same test range You should change the test range if this happens The test range setting is made according to the combination of the impedances of the sample being tested and the test cables Therefore it can happen that testing is not possible if the test range is held with HOLD only upon the basis of the impedance of the sample under test If this happens you should change the test range making reference to Section 4 9 Open Circuit Compensation and Short Circuit Compensation Even if the 3522 50 unit is being used outside the limits of its specification test values are sometimes displayed In this case the following type of indication reference value appears on the display i
