1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Product Overview
The Vanguard Auto-Ohm 10 is a 10-ampere battery powered micro-ohmmeter designed for
low-resistance-measuring applications such as the measurement of resistance in circuit breaker
contacts, bushing contact joints, and welding joints. The unit is powered by four 3400mAh,
3.7Vdc Li-Ion rechargeable batteries. With these high capacity batteries, up to 2,900 tests per
charge (10A/2 second duration) can be performed in the field. The Auto-Ohm 10 features a
built-in charger that can charge the batteries when the unit is not in use.
The Auto-Ohm 10 features a rotary knob that is used to select either the “Contact Resistance”
or “Transformer Resistance” test mode. The unit's back-lit LCD screen (128 x 64 pixels) is
viewable in both direct sunlight and low light level. Resistance readings are displayed on the
LCD screen in micro-ohms, milliohms, or ohms.
Contact Resistance Mode
The “Contact Resistance” mode can measure resistance values from 1 micro-ohm to 5,000
Ohms. The user can select from 6 different test currents: 1mA, 10mA, 100mA, 1A, 5A, 10A. The
user can also choose from 6 test times: 1 sec, 2 sec, 3 sec, 5 sec, 10 sec, 60 sec. Up to three
tests can be pre-configured with any combination of these parameters and executed with a
single push of the control switch.
The Auto-Ohm 10 also offers a “Bi-directional” test mode. In this mode, the test current is
applied in both directions to the device under test and the readings are recorded. The final test
result is the average reading of the bi-directional resistance values. An "Auto" test mode is also
available that will start a test once a user applies the test leads to the device under test. The
last three readings are displayed on the LCD screen.
Transformer Resistance Mode
In “Transformer Resistance” test mode, the Auto-Ohm 10 can measure the winding resistance
of transformers, electric motors, and generators. It provides 4 test currents (100mA, 1A, 5A,
10A) and can measure the winding resistance of a 3-phase 500KVA/12,000V transformer within
1 minute. At the end of a winding resistance test, the Auto-Ohm 10 automatically dissipates the
stored energy in the transformer.

Cables and Accessories
The Auto-Ohm 10 is furnished with a 15 ft (4.57m) cable set with alligator clamps (P/N 8000-
0231). The test current and voltage sense cables are isolated on the alligator clamps. With this
feature, only a single connection is needed to the device under test. Optional 10A rated pistol
grip probe (P/N 8000-0201), 10A rated hand probe (P/N 8000-0226), and 5A rated hand probe
(P/N 8000-0225) are also available.

1.4.3. Replacement Rechargeable Batteries
The Auto-Ohm 10 is powered by four protected Li-ion 3400 mAh rechargeable batteries. Only
Panasonic Orbtronic 18650 protected Li-Ion batteries should be used in the Auto-Ohm 10.
Please visit the link below for detailed battery information:
https://www.orbtronic.com/protected-3400mah-18650-li-ion-battery-panasonic-ncr18650B-orbtronic
Figure 7. Panasonic Orbtronic 18650 Protected Li-ion Battery
1.4.4. Charging and Turning the Unit On and Off
On connecting AC power (with unit previously off), the Auto-Ohm 10 immediately turns on and
goes into ‘Charging Mode’, with “Charging xx%” displayed. Once charging is complete, the unit
will display “Charged 100%” and go to a low-power state (it can be left on continuously).
Pressing the [POWER] button exits Charging mode and enables the unit to be used normally.
All Auto-Ohm 10 functions are available on either AC or Battery power. The unit will also
operate on AC power with a completely discharged battery.
If the unit is operated under AC power, holding down the [POWER] button for two seconds
will reboot the unit and put it in charge mode. If the unit is on battery power, holding down the
[POWER] button for two seconds will turn it off. To turn the unit back on when on battery
power, push and release the [POWER] button.
The current battery charge percentage level is displayed at the bottom right corner of the
"START-UP" menu as shown below:
This text also toggles and displays the current power source (will display "BAT" when on battery
power and "AC PWR" when on AC power).

Configuring Back-light Options
The Auto-Ohm 10 can turn off the screen's back-light after a preset time if no activity is
detected. To change the preset time:
1. Turn the [CONTROL KNOB] clock-wise until "B/Light Off" is highlighted and
then press the [CONTROL KNOB].
2. The following screen will be displayed (the selected time value will be blinking):
Turn the [CONTROL KNOB] clock-wise or counter-clockwise to cycle through
the time value options (1m, 2m, 5m).
3. When the preferred backlight turn off time is displayed, press the [CONTROL
KNOB].
Configuring Power Off Options
The Auto-Ohm 10 can turn off the power after a preset time if no activity is detected. To
change the preset time:
1. Turn the [CONTROL KNOB] clock-wise until "Pwr Off" is highlighted and then
press the [CONTROL KNOB].
2. The following screen will be displayed (the selected time value will be blinking):
