1.4 Description
Resistance Boxes:
Model BR07: 7 decades - 1Ωto 11.11111MΩ
covering all the resistance values from 1Ωto 11.11111MΩ
Capacitance Box:
Model BC05: 5 decades - 0.1nF to 11.111µF
covering all the capacitance values from 0 to 11.111µF
These decade boxes are built into a metal bench-top box. They are used for test-
ing and calibration.
The main function of these decade boxes is to create a resistance, capacitance
orinductancewithaspecicvaluebyusingacombinationoftherotarydecade
switches.
They are equipped with Ø 4mm safety terminals for connection.
For safe use, they comply with standard EN 61010-1 (2001).

1.5 Operation
The ground (earth) terminal must be connected to a protective ground (earth)
before taking any measurements.
Do not inject any voltage measurements greater than 150V to ground (earth) and
comply with the maximum acceptable current for each decade switch.

• Accuracy:1%±10mΩon all ranges
Connect the ground (earth) terminal to a protective ground (earth)
before taking any measurements. Do not forget the resistance of the
measurement leads in the overall accuracy, particularly on the rst
decade.

Connect the ground (earth) terminal to a protective ground (earth)
before taking any measurements. Comply with the maximum oper-
ating voltage of 300VDC or 230VAC at 50Hz and the voltage of 150V
maximum to ground (earth).
After each use, discharge the voltage stored by the capacitors into a
resistance with an appropriate value.
