OP!DATINC INSTRUCTIONS HODEL 168-20
WARNING
Consult r-ray machine service manual for proper hook up. since
improper connections can result in lethal voltages present on the
168-20 and damage to the meter. NEVER connect 168-20 co “high”
side of the secondary. This will result in destruction of the
meter and a dangerous shock hazard. Never touch any part of the
wment circuit with Lhe high voltage on.
& over voltage protection device should be securely fasrened across rbe
ma or ntAs test points exrernally or internally LO protect both machines
and,che qperator in the event of an open circuit LO the m~8 meter (i.e..
teat lead falling off, blown fuge. etc.). Suitable procecrion devicea
include power resistors, epark gaps, etc. Specific information concernidg
protection devices should be obtained from the manufacturer of the x-ray
machine in quearion.
Figure 2 s@~s an alternate measurement technique for meesuring r&s. A
shunt resistor is securely installed across rhe ma or tie test points and
the 168-20 is used in the inre$raring voltege mode. Integrating voltage
mode is selected by pldcing the m&-NORM witch in the mAe position and
depressing (DC).
The shunt resistor should be wire wound, with a parer raring adequate for
the machine’s l~aximum current.
m Shunt Reeiecor
0 * 199.9 * 10 n
0 + 1999 rk4.a 1n
0 * 19990 * .1 n
This technique provides greater safety. multiple ranges. and greater in-
put overload prorectioo or& the 168-20.
