1Introduction
A precision resistance decade box suitable for a wide range of simulation work. High
accuracy, long term stability, and low temperature coefficient make the 1067 ideal for
simulating and calibrating precision Pt100 sensors and temperature indicators/meters that
use resistive sensors.
Special care has been taken in the construction of this precision decade box to ensure that
the residual end resistance is as low and as stable as possible. Multiple self-cleaning silver
alloy contacts are used for each position to ensure outstanding performance and long life.
Housed in a robust metal case the 1067 is fully screened and low thermal EMF terminals are
used. The slimline design means it takes up minimum bench space and is easily transportable.
Resistance is selected by dialling the value required using the rotary switches. This enables
precise setting with a clear indication. Each decade is scaled from 0 to 11 and therefore allows
convenient overlap of the set values. The maximum value settable is 12,222.21 ohms.

3Operation
3.1 Safety Precautions
Observe proper safety operational guidelines when working with high voltages.
To minimize shock hazard connect the case terminal to an electrical ground.
Always take precautions to avoid and prevent contact with live components.
Handle the unit with care and use as per the instructions in this manual.
3.2 Front Panel Controls and Connections
•Resistance Terminals: Resistance is connected via the safety terminal binding
posts that are suitable for twisted stripped wire compression connection, spade
terminals, or by 4 mm shrouded or normal plug insertion.
•Case Terminal: The case terminal is isolated from the two active resistance
terminals. When connected to ground/earth, it may be used as a guard or shield
connection, this can help to reduce unwanted electrical noise pickup, and help
maintain the case at a safe voltage in certain modes of use.
•Resistance Setting Dials: Used for selecting the required resistance by setting the
dial to the value of the decade range. Each dial can be set from 0 to 11.
The value is clearly displayed in the white setting window below the decade range.

3.3 Operating Instructions
3.3.1 Connections
Connection to the decade box is via 4 mm safety terminal posts, using 4 mm shrouded or
standard plugs. Alternatively, crocodile clips or stripped wire connections can be used.
Whatever method is used, the connection must be tight to the terminal posts to avoid
introducing unwanted additional resistance.
The red and black active terminals connect to the resistance elements, and the green
terminal is connected to the case for screening purposes.
For certain applications, the user may want to connect the case terminal to either
of the active terminals. This can be done, but the case would then be at the same
potential as the active terminals. The user should be aware that this could be
hazardous and safety precautions must be taken to prevent electric shock.

3.3.2 Setting Resistance
Use the front panel dials to set the required values according to the decade ranges. The
selected value shown in the white setting window under the range arrow. This enables
precise setting with a clear unambiguous indication.
For example, to set 138.51 Ω equivalent to 100 °C Pt100 (ITS-90):
•Set the 1 kΩ dial to 0.
•Set the 100 Ω dial to 1.
•Set the 10 Ω dial to 3.
•Set the 1 Ω dial to 8.
•Set the 0.1 Ω dial to 5.
•Set the 0.01 Ω dial to 1.
For a quick reference to the setting values of the 1067, please see the Resistance Setting
Table on the following page.
Note: All resistance boxes have a residual resistance, meaning that when the dials are set to zero a
small resistance remains. If you are making precision measurements or recalibrating the instrument,
this residual value must be subtracted from all measurements.
Typical values of residual resistance are shown in the specifications.
For precise values relating to your specific unit, refer to calibration certificate (if ordered).

Connection Diagram
Notes
2-wire Pt100 Connection
The connecting lead/wire resistance must be factored.
Residual resistance is factored to calculate best setting
accuracy, if required.
3-wire Pt100 Connection
Leads/wires must be of the same length, gauge, and
resistance, meaning the connection is compensated.
Residual resistance is factored to calculate best setting
accuracy, if required.
4-wire Pt100 Connection
Provides the most accurate measurement, not being
affected by any differences in the wires/leads used.
Residual resistance is factored to calculate best setting
accuracy, if required.
