Features
❏ Making a test current constant
A test current for earth continuity testing has been made constant.
Thus, the test current does not need to be reset even in the face of
fluctuating resistance values for the device being tested.
❏ High accuracy
The tester is equipped with an ammeter of
±
(1% of reading + 0.2
A), a voltmeter of
±
(1% of reading + 0.02 V), and an ohmmeter of
±
(2% of reading + 0.003
Ω
) that calculate resistance values based
on measured current and voltage.
❏ Offset canceling function
The tester is provided with an offset canceling function that cancels
resistance values, such as the contact resistance at alligator-clip
and the resistance of measurement leads when in two terminals
testing method is used.
❏ Provided with a contact check function
The tester has a contact check function that identifies the connection
of the device being tested (by current detection) before testing.
❏ Memo function
The tester has a memo function with a capacity of 60 characters of
20 digits by 3 lines. You can use it to save a serial number,
calibration date, and/or comments.
❏ Equipped with standard GPIB and RS-232C interfaces
The tester comes with standard GPIB and RS-232C interfaces,
allowing external control of test conditions such as test current,
judgement resistance value, and test duration. It also permits read-
back of measured values and test results.
Outline
The TOS6200 tester is designed to perform the earth continuity
tests required for class-I devices by safety standards such as
IEC, EN, VDE, BS, UL, JIS, and the Electrical Appliance and
Material Safety Low (Japan).
Equipped with a new high-efficiency power supply, it is
compact and lightweight, about half the size and weight of
our conventional products, while achieving a large output of
150 VA.
Use of the constant current method eliminates the need to reset
test currents even in the face of fluctuating resistance values
for the device being tested. The test duration can also be set
from 0.3 s, making the tester suitable for production line testing,
which requires reduced cycle time.
This tester is also designed for ease of use, featuring a large,
easy-to-read display, memory capacity for storage of 100 types
of test conditions, and incorporation of test conditions into
programs to enable automatic testing. Standard GPIB and RS-
232C interfaces allow the user to use PCs or other devices to
control test conditions such as test current, resistance value
for judgement, and test duration, and enables read-back of
measured values and test results.
The tester is also provided with test leads as standard and
provides high cost effectiveness.
