3560 AC mΩ HiTESTER Components measuring instruments Contact resistance meter with high-speed response Meeting measurement requirements from contact resistance to internal resistance and voltage of batteries. This contact resistance meter complete with comparator function and external interface utilizes the principles of the AC 4-terminal method that gives priority to line use and allows measurement offering high speed, high accuracy and high resolution. External output terminal, external control terminal and RS-232C interface are standard features. GP-IB interface and printer interface are optionally available. The instrument also features an Ω and V mode that offers simultaneous measurement and comparison of battery internal resistance and open-circuit voltage, making it highly suitable for battery inspection lines as one unit can act as both a low-resistance meter and DMM. 1 Rapid response time - approximately 84 ms (60 Hz) ■ Intuitive Operation Interface 1 3 4 5 6 7 2 8 9 1.

External hold terminal Features ● Fast measurement and fast quality determination In the FAST mode, the instrument performs lightening fast measurements at 60 times/sec with a response time of about 84 ms (at 60 Hz) to reduce the line tact time. This helps increase mass-production efficiency. The comparator has memory for 30 configuration tables which enables one unit to perform quality determination of many measurement objects all having different characteristics. ● Low-power resistance measurement ● High-resolution measuring High-resolution measurement of 1 µΩ in the 30 mΩ range. ● Sense check function for prevention of erroneous measurements Earlier instruments only perform sense check on the source side, but the 3560 unit also conducts a check on the sense side to guarantee against erroneous measuring and wrong evaluation. Conduct low power resistance measurements according to the IEC 512-2 standard. Accurately measure contact resistance without destroying the oxide film on contact surfaces of components such as relays and connectors. ● PC interfaces ● Battery measurement ● Comfortable operation Since DC voltage measuring can be performed simultaneously, the 3560 can also be applied to measure open-circuit voltage of batteries. One unit can measure both internal resistance and open-circuit voltage for complex quality evaluation. Furthermore, using the voltage limiter OFF function enables even more stable measurement of battery internal resistance. RS-232C interface and external control terminal are standard features. Printer interface and GB-IP interface are available as options. The number of switch operations has been reduced to achieve simple and intuitive operation. ● Versatile array of leads A wide selection of test leads, such as clip leads, pin leads and 4-terminal leads, are available, allowing you to select the most suitable type for the component to be measured. ■ Comparator Function Two settings are available in the resistance measurement mode: the upper limit and lower limit value settings. In the low-resistance and voltage measurement mode, the upper limit and lower limit value settings can be made separately for the two measurement items. When both are determined as IN, PASS is indicated, in other cases FAIL is indicated. In addition to the Hi/IN/Lo and PASS/FAIL indications, the results can also be signaled by a buzzer and output via an open-collector output. Up to 30 comparator configuration tables can be memorized, each storing settings for a measurement mode, measurement range, upper and lower limit values and a buzzer mode. Resistance comparator value setting Buzzer mode setting Voltage comparator value setting ■ Comparator setting example Resistance range 300 mΩ (upper limit value 180.00 mΩ/lower limit value 170.00 mΩ), voltage range 5 V (upper limit value 3.8000 V/lower limit value 3.5000 V), Table No.1, buzzer set to sound for PASS. 2 High-Speed Measurement Contributing to Super Efficient Production Lines ■ Designed for System Use Utilize the built-in external control terminal to select the comparator table, as trigger and for requesting printout, etc. The external output can be used for output of comparator results, measurement completion (EOC) and NG output. These external input and output capabilities have been designed with systems integration in mind. Timing Chart Example The following shows a timing example for reading out the comparator results using the HOLD function and external input and output features. Power button Built-in RS-232C External control terminal External output terminal GP-IB or printer interface Nature of external control and outputs (negative logic) ● Control (CMOS/5 V max.) • Measurement trigger (TRIG) • Comparator output request (MANU) • Zero adjustment request (0 ADJ) • Print request (PRINT) • Comparator table selection (COMP) • EXT.DCV (DC5V - 24V) • GND t1: Approx. 80 ms (FAST 60 Hz), approx. 660 ms (MEDIUM 60 Hz), approx. 1.6s (SLOW 60 Hz) Approx. 95 ms (FAST 50 Hz), approx. 795 ms (MEDIUM 50 Hz), approx. 1.92s (SLOW 50 Hz) t2: Approx. 5 ms t3: Approx. 1 ms In the HOLD mode, the sequence is simple as EOC is retained until the next trigger is input. Furthermore, the display and output are retained until the next EOC is entered. t1: [Stabilizing time] Following chuck, the trigger is input after the measuring current has stabilized. t2: [Detection time] Time from when chuck is detected until the NG signal becomes Lo. * t1 and t2 differ with the measured object. The figures are reference values in case of pure resistance. t3: [Evaluation time] The time from when the measurement value is judged at the point when the trigger is input and until the EOC signal is output. The comparison result is decided on the rising edge of EOC. At this point, the evaluation result is obtained. ● Output (Open-collector output/35V - 50mA max.) • Comparator result signals (Hi, IN, Lo/PASS, FAIL) • Measurement termination signal (EOC) • Measurement irregularity detection signal (NG) Switch between automatic and manual output of comparator results (set using panel buttons) In the AUTO mode, the comparator results are continuously output. In the MANU mode, the results are only output when the external MANU and GND terminals are shortened. ● MANU mode RS-232C Interface Specifications Transmission method: Start-stop synchronization, full duplex.
