Broken Lead Detection
The 700 Series Handheld Bond Meters feature broken lead detection for all ranges. This
feature monitors the test current across the leads on each channel. A small current is
sourced between the Kelvin connection of each channel’s test leads. This detection is
independent of whether a DUT is or is not connected.
If the unit detects anopen circuit in either channel it will illuminate the OPEN annunciator
along with the channel(s) the unit has detected anopen circuit in.
When using the unit with MKP, BKP, and MCP probes, the OPEN and channel
annunciators will be illuminated when not connected to a DUT.
Battery Indicator
Battery depletion or battery replacement will reset all measurement parameters to
their default values. After battery replacement, set measurement parameters as
required.
The battery voltage indicator provides a visual representation of approximate remaining
battery life. It is located at the top-right of the
display.
The battery voltage indicator uses three bars
to represent remaining battery life. Figure 4
shows the approximate battery life for each
bar.
At zero (0) bars, the instrument will
momentarily display bATT and initiate a
shutdown sequence. To prevent disruption of
the measurement process and statistics and
data collection, the batteries should be
replaced before the battery voltage indicator reaches zero (0) bars. See Section 2.5, Battery
Installation and Replacement.
