3540 mΩ HiTESTER Component measuring instruments Customize with BCD output, printer interface or RS-232C interface to suit your application needs. Fast-response milliohmmeter offers selectable manual measurement or system integration. The 3540 mΩ HiTESTER is a high performance low resistance tester that includes a comparator function essential for component sorting, fast 16-times-per-second sampling, temperature compensation and autoranging, and a choice of interfaces to meet your measurement needs. The standard 3540 is the economical version without external control interfaces, making it the no-fuss solution for manual testing. For more advanced system integration capabilities, select Model 354001 for a built-in BCD output interface providing for external control, Model 3540-02 to output measurement results to a printer, and Model 3540-03 to add PC compatibility via a built-in RS-232C interface. 1 Internal Comparator with Fast 100-ms Response Features ●Comparator function stores up to seven tables ● Dual comparator modes: Hi-Lo compares upper and lower limits, and REF-% compares a range and standard value ●Fast response of about 100 ms (measuring pure resistance: actual response depends on material under test) ●Temperature compensation function measures temperature and calculates value relative to copper at 20˚C/68˚F ●4-terminal method eliminates the effects of leads and contact resistance ●Auto-ranging function ●Dual power system: batteries or AC adapter ●BCD, printer interface and RS-232C interface options in -01, -02 and -03 suffix versions, respectively ■ Main Buttons 2 1 5 6 7 8 9 3 4 10 *All display segments shown lit for purposes of illustration. 1.

Up to seven tables can be memorized, each storing a measurement range, comparator mode and comparator values. Hi/IN/Lo measurements are indicated by LED and 3-way beeper mode, and for the -01 and -02 versions, results are available for external use at open-collector output terminals on the rear panel. Hi-Lo Comparator REF-% Comparator Example display with FAST sampling, measurement value 30.00 mΩ, temperature compensation on, table no. 1, upper limit 30.10 and lower limit 29.90, and beeper mode HL. Example display with FAST sampling, 100.0% deviation of display from standard value (displayed deviation = measured value / standard value × 100%), temperature compensation function on, table no. 7, standard value is 30.00, range is ±10.0%, and beeper mode IN. ■ 3540 The basic version includes the essential functions: eliminating external interfaces to keep the price low. Comparator results are displayed by LED and beeper. Jacks are provided on the rear panel for the temperature probe (for temperature compensation), and for the AC adapter.

Along with BCD output, the range, comparator tables, EOC and power can be externally controlled, ideal for system applications. AUTO/MANU Select Timing Chart Example The following chart shows the timing relationships between comparator results using the hold function and BCD output at the external connector. CC ERR Chuck 1 Trigger 1 Chuck 2 Trigger 2 With AUTO selected, BCD and comparator results are output continuously. With MANU selected, comparator results are output only when the MANU and GND external input terminals are shorted together.

Display and output are retained until the next EOC is taken. CC ERR input enhances test reliability with various materials under test t1: (Settling time) after checking, the delay until measured power is stable before triggering. Settling time depends on material under test (value is relative to pure resistance). t2: (Measuring) raising EOC accepts BCD and comparator results, so the desired data is captured. Outputs (Open Collector: 35V, 50 mA max.) • Comparator Result signal (Hi, IN, Lo) • End-Of-Check (EOC) signal • Supply Current Error (CC ERR) signal Inputs (TTL: 5V, 20 mA max.)
