low and 10Meg high for the US and 750K to 35Meg for
Europe.
Do not power down the tester. Using the 2 banana
leads included with model 19259. Attach 1 of the
banana leads to the right side banana jack on model

SPECIFICATIONS AND DIMENSIONS
Charge Detection
When the operator is connected to the remote and
accumulates a voltage greater than ± 1.25 volts, the
CHARGE LED (red) will display in its respective OP-
ERATOR section (for charge detection data out, see
the Data Output section on Page 8). To disable charge
detection on the display, shunt jumper JP6 inside the
unit (See Page 7). If a charge is detected while using
this conguration, the display will remain in its previous
state until the charge is no longer detected.
Testers limit comparator will calibrate:
19276 - Combo X3 Tester, Data Output, w/ Dual Plate
19277 - Combo X3 Tester, Data Output, Programmable,
w/ Stand
CALIBRATION
There are no user adjustments on model 19259. Each
value is a xed resistor load, any model 19259 that falls
out of specication will need to be sent to factory for
repair. Using a DVM (digital voltmeter), set the meter
to read ohms. The limit that the knob is set on can be
measured using the DVM connected between Banana
1 to Banana 2 and connected between Conductor 1
and Conductor 2. Refer to gure 3.
