1. When making a resistance measurement with a Test Cable other than the one supplied with the LKG 601 the user can zero the leads by adjusting the zero adjustment potentiometer This will not affect the internal calibration of the unit Annual calibration is recommended If the LKG 601 is returned to Netech for recalibration before the first year warranty expires Netech will provide a second year warranty The warranty is void if the LKG 601 is serviced by anyone other than Netech or if the warranty seal is broken 16 THEORY OF OPERATION The LKG 601 circuitry can be divided into main functional blocks as shown in Figure 3 Each performs a key role in the operation of the instrument AAMI or RMS TO gt IEC 601 DC gt Leps CURRENT AMP E SOURCE Figure 3 Functional block diagram of the LKG 601 BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION ips S Z Q 2 G Z AV 1dSIC n fesl ra i Q O fzo T TEST RECEPTACLE Test Load The input test load is user selectable to AAMI ESI 1993 or to IEC 601 RMS Converter and Amplifier The input amplifier buffers the input The RMS converter generates a DC voltage equal to the RMS value at its input The gain Amplifier sets the gain for the measurements When the MODE switch selects leakage current measurement the AAMI LOAD is connected in front of the INPUT AMPLIFIER and the voltage developed across it from the leakage current is measured 17 Current Source an2. surrounded by at least two inches of suitable shock absorbing material 4 Include a copy of the purchase order or reference your purchase order on your packing slip 5 Include the completed Service Form 6 Ship the instrument to the following address NETECH CORPORATION 110 Toledo Street Farmingdale NY 11735 ATTN SERVICE DEPT For the latest Revisions and updates visit www netech org 22
