INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PM6304 INSTALLATIONAND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1-1
1 INSTALLATION AND SAFEN INSTRUCTIONS

1.I SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Upon delivery from the factory the instrument complies with the required safety
regulations (see Reference Manual, Chapter 1). To maintain this condition and to
ensure safe operation, the instructions below must be followed carefully.
1.1.1 Maintenance and Repair
Failure and excessive stress:

If the instrument is suspected of being unsafe, remove it from operation immedi-
ately and secure it against any unintended operation. The instrument is consid-
ered to be unsafe when any of the following conditions exist:
It shows physical damage.
It does not function anymore.
It is stressed beyond the tolerable limits
(e.g., during storage and transportation).
Disassemblingthe Instrument:
WARNING
Calibration, maintenance, and repair of the instrument must be perfor-

med only by trained personnel who are aware of the hazards involved.
To avoid electric shock, do not remove the cover unless you are quali-
fied to do so.
Before removing the cover, disconnect the instrument from all power
sources. The capacitors in the instrument may remain charged for
several seconds after all power has been disconnected.
1-2 INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PM6304
1.I .2 Grounding (Earthing)
Before any other connection is made the instrument must be connected to a

protective earth conductor via the three-wire power cable.
The power plug shall be inserted only into a grounded outlet.
Do not defeat the protectiveaction by using an extension cord without a grounded
conductor.
Do not connect a protective ground conductor into the measurement contacts
on the front panel, the four contacts of the connector to which the circuit ground
is applied, or the external contact of the connector plug.
WARNING
Any interruption of the protective ground conductor inside or outside

the instrument or disconnection of the protective ground terminal, is
likely to make the instrument dangerous. Intentional interruption is
prohibited.
1.I .3 Connections
The circuit ground potential is applied to four of the eight contacts of the front
panel connector and is connected to the instrument case via parallel-connected
capacitors and a resistor. The external contact of the connector is connected to
the instrument case. This avoids ac ground loops while providing good RF
grounding.
If the circuit ground potential in a measurement setup is different from the protec-
tive ground potential, make sure that the four contacts of the front panel connector
are not live.
PM6304 INSTALLATIONAND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 1-3
1.I .4 Line Voltage Setting and Fuses
Before plugging in the line cable, make sure that the instrument is set to the
correct line voltage.
WARNING
To avoid injury or death, changing fuses and modifying line cables to

local power must be done by qualified service personnel who are
aware of the hazards involved.
On delivery from the factory, the instrument is set to one of the following line
voltages:
Code No. Line Voltage Delivered

The line voltage setting and the corresponding fuse specification are indicated on
the rear panel.
Make sure that replacement fuses are of the type and current rating specified. The
use of repaired fuses and/or the short-circuitingof fuse holders are prohibited. Do
not defeat this important safety feature.
The instrument can be set to the following line voltages: 100 V, 120 V, 220 V and
240 V ac. These nominal voltages can be selected by means of the voltage
selector, located on the rear panel, next to the line voltage connector. The fuse is
located in a holder at the same place. For line voltage selection or replacement
of the fuse, remove the line cable and pry open the compartment with a small
screwdriver (see illustration).
1-4 INSTALLATION AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PM6304
Turn the selector to select the appropriate voltage range. If necessary, insert the
specified fuse (T0.2A or TOAA according to IEC127 or T O Z A or T0.5A according
to CSAJUL198G)that matches the line voltage setting into the fuse holder.
1.2 OPERATING POSITION OF THE INSTRUMENT
The instrument can be operated on a horizontal surface in a flat position or with

the tilt bale extended. Ensure that the ventilation holes are free of obstruction. Do
not position the instrument in direct sunlight or on any surface that produces or
radiates heat.
1.3 RADIO INTERFERENCE SUPPRESSION

Radio interference of the instrument is suppressed and checked carefully. If radio
frequency interferences occurs in connection with deficiant suppressed other
instruments, further suppression actions may be required.

MAIN FEATURES
PM6304 MAIN FEATURES 2-1
2 MAIN FEATURES
The PM6304 Programmable Automatic RCL Meter is used for precise measure-
ments of resistance, capacitance, and inductance. Its basic accuracy is 0.1 %.
The PM6304C Programmable Automatic RCL Meter has a higher accuracy of
0.05 % at test signal frequencies up to 2 kHz. The instrument provides an auto-
function and autoranging feature. It allows fast and high precision measurements
and diagnostic of passive components over a wide range.
The component to be measured is connected to the instrument via front panel
posts, the PM 9541A four-wire test cable, or the PM 9542A four-terminal test
adapter. The Adapter PM 9542SMD or the PM 9540/TWE SMD Tweezers for
surface-mounted components are also available.
Measurements are performed using a four-wire system.
The test frequency is selectable in the range from 50 Hz to 100 kHz.
Three test voltages are available: 2 V, 1 V, and 50 mV rms.
The measurement result, the numerical value, dimension, and the equivalent
circuit symbol, are all displayed on the large five-digit liquid-crystaldisplay (LCD),
which is updated at a rate of approximately two measurements per second.
A microprocessor controls the measurement process, computes the measure-
ment value, and transfers the result to the display.
In the AUTO mode the dominant and the secondary parameter, either R, C, or L
of the component under test is automatically selected for display.
For example, for an inductance with a quality factor Q between 1 and 1000, the
instrument indicates the measurement value of the series inductance and the
series resistance and as the equivalent-circuit symbol, the series connection of
an inductance and a resistance.
In addition to AUTO mode, the following modes can be selected:
series respectively parallel components
impedance Z
phase angle Q
quality factor Q, dissipation factor D
component voltage V,, component current ,I
2-2 MAIN FEATURES PM6304
An internal DC BlAS voltage (2 V dc) can be added to the measurement voltage

for electrolytic capacitors.
An external DC BlAS voltage can also be selected, up to 40 V dc.
DC resistance measurements without an ac test signal can be made by using the

optional PM 9565 DC Unit.
The instrument can be programmed and can transfer its measurement data via
the optional PM 9548 lnterface for IEEE-488, or via the PM 9549 lnterface for
RS-232. Ten measurements per second are also possible. The RS-232 lnterface
also allows output of measurement results directly to a printer with no controller
needed.
For sorting and binning of components, the optional infrared remote control, the
PM 9559 Bin Programmer, and the PM 9566 Handler lnterface are available.
Nine complete instrument settings can be stored and recalled for fast and conve-
nient setup.

3.4.2 Measurement Setup and Accessories
For best accuracy, you should perform ZERO TRIM (see Section 4.3) when
you change the measurement setup, the test signal frequency, or the test
signal voltage when test signal frequency is r 10 kHz.
You should not change the setup after trimming if you use test signal frequencies
r 10 kHz with the PM 9541A Test Cable with Kelvin Clips, the PM 9542A RCL
Adapter, the PM 9540m/VE SMD Tweezers, or the PM 9540/BAN Test Cable.
Test posts
Most common components can be measured with the supplied test posts
plugged into the front panel connectors.
Radial-lead Component Axial-lead Component

PM 9541A Test Cable with Kelvin Clips
Use the test cable to measure in-circuit components or components of large size.
The test cable is connected to the instrument via the round plug (red markings
face to face). The plug locks automatically. To unlock the plug, pull on the ridged
part.
PM 9542A RCL Adapter

The RCL adapter allows you to make component measurements away from the
front panel of the instrument. The RCL adapter can also handle larger compo-
nents than the front panel connector can.
The RCL adapter is connected to the instrument via the round plug on the front
panel (red markings face to face).
The supplied single test posts and the double test post can also be directly
inserted into the front panel connector of the instrument.
Note: For accurate measurements you should insert only the test posts, cable,
or adapter, that you need for the actual measurement.
SMD Adapter PM 9542SMD
The SMD adapter can be used to measure SMD components with a length of 2 to
10 mm, depth >1 mm, height >0.5 mm, or a diameter >I
mm.
For easy and quick insertion and removal of components, insert the SMD adapter
into the PM 9542 RCL adapter.
You can also insert the SMD adapter directly into the front panel connector of the
instrument. To ease insertion of components, set the instrument in a sloping posi-
tion (handle folded down)
When you use the SMD adapter to measure very small capacitances especially
below 100 pF, you must take into account the alteration of the stray fixture capaci-
tances, depending on the separation of the contacts.

PM 9540llWE SMD Tweezers
Use the SMD Tweezers to measure single SMD components or in-circuit SMD
components.
The SMD Tweezers are connected to the instrument via the round plug on the
front panel (red marking face to face).
For open-circuit trimming when you are measuring small capacitances, set the
opening of the tweezers to the size of the component.
The two-wire measuring technique and the pressure applied by the tips of the
tweezers can cause a measuring error in addition to the basic error of the RCL
Meter, due to the additional serial resistance (typical 0.02 GI). The presence of dirt
or contaminants on the tips of the tweezers can also affect measurements. The
tips may be periodically cleaned with alcohol and a non-abrasivecloth.
PM 9540/BAN Test Cable with Banana Plugs
Use the test cable if you need banana plugs for your own special applications.
The test cable is connected to the instrumentvia the round plug on the front panel
(red marking face to face).
When you perform ZERO TRIM short-circuit DRIVE+ with SENSE+ and DRIVE-
with SENSE- for the open-circuit trimming. Short-circuit all four plugs for the
short-circuit trimming.

Two-Wire Measurements
You can measure components with two test leads in two-wire mode by using the
plus and minus connectors. For this, it is necessary to short-circuit the drive and
sense lines at the instrument. To reduce stray capacitances and interferences,
use short leads.
You also can use the eight-pole round connector.

HOW TO USE THE INSTRUMENT
PM6304 HOW TO USE THE INSTRUMENT 4-1
4 HOW TO USE THE INSTRUMENT

4.1 THE PRINCIPLE OF MEASUREMENT
The component measurement is based on the current and voltage technique. The
component voltage and the component current are measured and converted into
binary values. From these values the CPU calculates the electrical parameters of
the component. According to the front panel parameter selection different para-
meters are displayed. Via AUTO mode or by pressing the SERIPAR key when
AUTO mode was selected, the dominant and secondary parameters (resistance,
capacitance, or inductance) are displayed. In addition manually selected para-
meter can be displayed (Q, D, 2, @, V, or I,).
Each measurement cycle lasts approximately 0.5 seconds. For AC measure-

ments one cycle consists of seven single measurements, the results of which are
stored and arithmetically evaluated. Finally the result is transferred to the display.
The seven single measurements are as follows:
1. Voltage Measurement: O0
and internal gain factor setting
2. Voltage Measurement: 90°
3. Reference Measurement: 00
Gain factor >1 Gain factor = 1

4. Reference Measurement: 90° Current Measurement: O0
5. Current Measurement: O0 Current Measurement: 90°
6. Current Measurement: 90° ReferenceMeasurement: O0
7. Reference Measurement: O0 Reference Measurement: 90°
4-2 HOW TO USE THE INSTRUMENT PM6304
The seven measured values are stored at the end of the single measurements.
The microprocessor uses the measured values to calculate the equivalent series
resistance Rs, the equivalent series reactance Xs, and the quality factor
Q = XsIRs of the component. In AUTO mode the microprocessor determines the
dominant and secondary parameter, calculates its value, and displays it together
with the equivalent circuit symbol. If one of the other parameters is manually
selected, this parameter is calculated and displayed. After that the next
measurement cycle starts with the seven single measurements.
The display shows:

Example:
By using the seven measurements, the instrument has calculated Rs and Xs in
accordance with formulas 1 and 2, for example,
From this the instrument calculated:
The instrument displays the corresponding equivalent circuit symbol with the
dominant and the secondary parameter, according to the criteria of the Auto
Mode Decision Diagram (see Section 4.4.1); in this case, as Xs is negative and
1 < Q < 1000:
The display shows:
The calculation of the dominant parameter Cp was done according to the fol-
lowing formula:
Cp = 1 = 10.061 nF
2n x 1 kHz (1 + 1/4.9542) x 15.199 kS2
The maximum display is five digits 2 1 digit tolerance.
Calculation of the other selectable parameters are performed as follows:
1--
D=-= - 0.202
Q 4.954
Rs = (1 + 4.9542) x 3.068 kS2 = 78.36 kR

(calculated by the instrument according to formula 1)
Q, : The instrument calculates
tan Q, =
lXsl = 15.199 kR
- = 4.954
Rs 3.068 kSZ
and gets Q, from an internal tangent table similar to a calculator
Q = - 78.6 DEG
For accurate measurement, you should select an appropriate test signal frequen-
cy; see Section 4.2.
If you measure the same component mentioned in the preceding example, with
a test signal frequency that is too low, the resistive part of the capacitive compo-
nent dominates.
So the instrument determines a resistor as the dominant parameter.
Example: Test signal frequency 100 Hz
The display shows:
The instrument determined:

Rs = 63.248 kS2
XS = -31.680 kQ
and calculated:
Because Qe 1, the display shows a resistor as the dominant parameter.

4.2 MEASURING COMPONENTS

4.2.1 Test Signal Frequency and Voltage
Resistors, inductors, and capacitors are not ideal electrical components. They all
have secondary effects that limit their performance. Understanding the effects is
important in understanding the results displayed on the RCL meter. For example,
a resistor has shunt capacitance and lead inductance. Inductors have shunt
capacitance and resistance in their windings.
The differing reaction of these components, which depends on the frequency and
test signal voltage, requires methods of measurement adapted to each situation.
To this end, the PM6304 / PM6304C has afrequency range from 50 Hz to 100 kHz.
Resolution: 50, 60, 100, 120, 200, 300, 400 Hz to 19.9 kHz, 20 kHz, 100 kHz
The analog-to-digital converter (ADC), used for digitizing the measured values,
is basically insensitive to hum interfered into the measurement setup. Hum inter-
ference may degrade measurement accuracy using test frequencies of 60 Hz or
120 Hz at 50 Hz AC power or 50 Hz test frequency at 60 Hz AC power.
The following can be selected as the test signal voltage:
AC voltage: DC voltage (option):
2 V, 400 Q internal resistance 2 V, 400 D internal resistance
1 V, 100 Q internal resistance 1 V, 100 Q internal resistance
50 mV, 100 Q internal resistance 300 mV, 100 D internal resistance
An internal 2 V dc bias voltage or an external bias of maximum 40 V dc can be

added to the AC voltage signal. The external voltage must be free of hums, partic-
ularly if test signal frequency is 50 Hz or 60 Hz (line frequencies).
If you measure components with Z > 10 kQ and if you use an external bias source
with an impedance >50 Q, perform open-circuit trimming with bias voltage
applied.
WARNING
A 40 volt external bias can charge a capacitor to a high enough voltage
that it can cause injury if it is accidentally discharged. Verify that polari-
zed capacitors are installed with the correct polarity before applying
a bias voltage.
4.2.2 Resistors
In principle in addition to its purely resistive component, a resistor has capacitive

and inductive components.
R = DC resistance.
Ls = Inductance of any windinglcoiling and of the components leads.
Cp = Shunt capacitance across the resistive component.
In the case of wire-wound resistors, C and L are relatively high due to the winding.
In the case of film resistors, these values are considerably smaller.
With low-valued resistors ( < I kQ), the series inductive component dominates.
With high-valued resistors ( > I kQ), C predominates.
The effect of C and L limits the high frequency performance of the component.
Measurement Conditions:
Select a low test signal frequency, i.e., 1 kHz or measure with DC voltage (option).
In the case of resistors in the megohm range, the instrument might recognize the
shunt capacitor as the dominant component if the measurement frequency is too
high.
4 - 10 HOW TO USE THE INSTRUMENT PM6304
4.2.3 Capacitors
Several components, which depend on the type of capacitor, determine the elec-
trical characteristics of a capacitor.
Foil Capacitor:
L = lnductance of the lead wires, the bonding and the winding

(mainly in the nH area).
R1 = Resistance of the bonding (5 to 10 ohms in unfavorable cases).
R2 = Resistance of the foils, which increases as frequency increases.
Rp = Dissipation in dielectric, which can be ignored as frequency increases.
C = Capacitance.
Electrolytic Capacitors:
With AC voltage
L = lnductance of the connections and of the winding.

ESR = Equivalent series resistance:
Resistance of the electrolytes, the dielectric, DC resistance
of the mechanical structure. The ESR depends on the frequency.
C = Overall capacitance.
With DC voltage
C = Overall capacitance.
RlsoL = Insulating resistance, it determines the leakage current of the compo-
nent.
Electrolytic capacitors operate at lower frequencies (usually c 10 kHz).
The frequency for the test signal should not be selected too high as otherwise a
capacitance that is too high is measured when the resonant frequency is
approached.
f, = self-resonant frequency
If the frequency is too low, the ohmic and inductive components falsify the result.
A test frequency lower than f,/30 should be taken as the approximate value.
For example:
Typical self-resonant frequency for a 100 yF capacitor is 50 kHz; select test signal
frequency less than 1.6 kHz.
Electrolytic capacitors used for smoothing in power supplies should be measured

at their operating frequency (100 Hz or 120 Hz).
In order to determine the real dissipation components, a high test frequency is

selected for the serial losses and a low one for the parallel losses.
Use DC voltage for measuring the insulating resistance.
4.2.4 Inductances
Coil with iron core
Rs = DC resistance of the copper winding

RE = Core loss
Cp = Capacitance of the winding
L = Inductance
As in the case of the capacitor, the test frequency (fTEST)should lie far below
the self-resonant frequency (fo). The fo frequency can be very low because of
the relatively high capacitance of the winding.
1
f, = - f, = self-resonant frequency
2n JLC
Approximate value: fTEsT= f,/30
It is advisable to measure the coil close to its operating frequency if the reaction
of the coil under operating conditions is to be determined.
Avoltage level that is not too high must be selected for coils because of the satura-
tion effect caused by the iron core. For this purpose, the PM6304 offers a voltage
reduced to 50 mV.
Use DC voltage to measure the resistance of the winding.
PM6304 HOW TO USE THE INSTRUMENT 4 - 13
4.3 AUTOMATIC ZERO TRIM

When pressing the ZERO TRlM key for approximately 2 seconds the instrument
performs an impedance measurement of the measurement setup and stores the
value determined. The display shows PASS. For all further measurements this
value will be taken into consideration. To ensure best measuring accuracy you
should perform ZERO TRlM when you change the measurement setup, the
test signal frequency, or the test signal voltage when the test signal
frequency is 1 10 kHz.
If you press the ZERO TRlM key with a component connected with an impedance
of <10 Q or >I00 kQ, the value of the component will be taken into consider-
ation. At open or short-circuited contacts of the measurement setup the instru-
ment now indicates a negative resistance value, for instance, or an inductance
in case of a connected capacitance (or a capacitor in case of a an inductance.)
Please perform ZERO TRlM once again without any component connected in or-
der to obtain correct values.
The TRIM data are stored in a memory and will persist even if the instrument is
switched off.
Note: If you use the test cable with PM 9541A Kelvin Clips, the PM 9542A RCL
Adapter, or the PM 9540TTWE, SMD Tweezer for test signal frequencies
2 1 0 kHz, you should not change the setup after trimming.
To avoid measurement errors, do not touch the contacts during measuring.
Short-circuit Trimming
For measuring low impedances, below 100 Q in particular, please short-circuit

the contacts of the measurement setup and press the ZERO TRlM key for approx-
imately 2 seconds. The display shows bUSY and Sct (short-circuit).The instru-
ment now performs a measurement and stores the value determined, which is the
short circuit impedance. The display shows PASS. For all further measurements
this value is taken into consideration, including the line and contact impedances.
If during short circuit trimming the measured impedance is >10 Q, FAIL will be
displayed.
Open-Circuit Trimming
When you measure low capacitances with high test signal frequency the open-
circuit impedance of the measurement setup may affect the result. Remove any
connected component and press the ZERO TRIM key for approximately 2 se-
conds. The display shows bUSY and Oct (open-circuit).The instrument performs
a measurement considering the value determined, which is the open-circuit im-
pedance, for all following measurements. The display shows PASS.
If the impedance measured during open-circuit trimming is c 100 kS2, the diplsay
shows FAIL.
For the ZERO TRIM the contacts DRIVE+ and SENSE+ as well as DRIVE- and
SENSE- should be connected. As far as the adapters available from Fluke are
concerned, this is normally ensured automatically, except for the PM 9540lBAN
cable and for the PM 9542SMD SMD Adapter.
If you use the PM 9540lBAN cable in your own special application short-circuit
DRIVE+ with SENSE+ and DRIVE- with SENSE- for the open-circuit trimming.
Short-circuit all four plugs for the short-circuit trimming.
As far as the SMD Adapter is concerned the contacts are insulated from each
other. The contacts are only closed when a component is inserted.
Drive- Drive+
m(= Sense- Sense+
Contacts of the PM 9542SMD, SMD Adapter
To perform ZERO TRIM at an open adapter with the DRIVEISENSE contacts con-
nected, the SMD Adapter is equipped with SMD components with an impedance
of Z -. m. Please use this component for open-circuit trimming. For short-circuit
trimming you can use one of the attached components with an impedance of
Z + 0 Q. These components have a real resistance of typical 4 mQ. You should
take into account this value if you measure low impedances.
If you need spare sets you can order them via your Service Organization with the
following number: 5322 310 32275.

4.4 MEASURING MODES

After power on, the instrument automatically recalls the mode that was set before
power off.
Select a suitable measurement setup.
Select the matching test signal frequency and voltage
(refer to Sections 3.4.2 and 4.2).
Execute ZERO TRIM if necessary.
Insert the component.
Galvanic nonconducting components, e.g., electrolytic capacitors, should be

measured with the internal bias voltage activated. To do this
Press the DC BIAS ONIOFF key.
The display shows a.
4.4.1 Automatic (AUTO)
In most cases, you will be interested in the dominant parameter of the component.
This is automatically determined and displayed in the AUTO mode. Press the
green AUTO key. The display showsAUT0, the value of the dominant parameter
in the upper line, the value of the secondary parameter in the lower line, and the
appropriate equivalent circuit symbol.

4.5 STOREIRECALL OF INSTRUMENT SETTINGS

Nine complete instrument settings including trim data can be stored in memory
registers 1 to 9. The current mode is automatically saved separately. The memo-
ries are buffered by battery so that the data are retained even after the instrument
is turned off.
After power on, the instrument runs through its start routine, and then goes to the
mode that was last set.
Store
Data are stored by pressing the STORE key. The display shows Sto and a digit
from 1 to 9 for the memory register number. This number under which the settings
are to be stored can now be selected by using the +/- step keys; the measured
values are not stored.
Pressing STORE once again saves the settings under the register number
selected. Any values that may exist there already are overwritten and lost in the
process.
Recall
Stored settings are called up by pressing the RECALL key. The display shows rCL
and a memory register number. The display panel starts to flash. The data from
this memory register are only displayed but not yet called up.
You can use the +/- step keys to select memory register numbers 1 to 9 to
display their contents. When you press the RECALL key again, the stored setting
displayed is called up.
4.6 BINNING
4.6.1 Introduction
Binning means sorting components by their measured value into boxes or similar
containers.
During the binning process with the PM6304, similar component values are allo-
cated to defined sorting fields known as bins to obtain better tolerances, closer
matching or passlfail sorting.
You can define a maximum of 10 bins. For this purpose, you can use an interface
for remote control with a PC (IEEE-488 or RS-232 as an option) or an infrared
remote control, the PM 9559 Bin Programmer (option).
The instructions for programming with the PC are described in detail in the
PROGRAMMERS MANUAL and in brief form in Chapter 5. This section describes
binning using the PM 9559 infrared remote control.
The PM6304 checks the component according to the criteria of bins 1 to 9, last
of all according to bin 0, and displays the bin the component is allocatedto. If none
of these requirements are met, the display shows FAIL.
Values and limits (tolerances) for 10 complete bin records, each record for a maxi-
mum of ten bins (bins 0 to 9), including the selected instrument settings can be
stored in registers of the PM 6304. These registers are independent of those that
contain the instrument settings typed in at the front panel.
The limits of the bins can be defined in the following ways according to the various
demands:
Binning components can be defined with a certain value according to different
tolerance classes, for example, for quality control or incoming inspection.
+ bin 2
r-- bin I -
nominal value
b
I
I
-5 % -2% -1% 1kQ +1% +2% +5 %
Nested limits with reference to a nominal value.
The instrument checks in the sequence bin 1, bin 2 to bin 9 and then bin 0. ...
If the greatest tolerance is programmed for bin 1, then all components lying
within this tolerance are immediately allocated to bin 1.
A different parameter than that for bin 1 to 9 can be defined for bin 0.
For example, bins 1 to 9 check the tolerance of a capacitor and bin 0 checks at
last the quality factor of the capacitor.
The display is as follows:
I Component meets tolerance defined in: 1 I

I bin 1 t o 9 1 bin 0 I Display I
I YES 1 YES 1 binit09 1
1 NO I do not care 1 FA1L I
I YES I NO I bin 0 I

according to the series E12, here with rt5 %.

The limits can be programmed directly as absolute values instead of a nominal

value with an upper and lower limit in percent:

When storing, the instrument checks the values entered for plausibility. A nominal
value with an upper limit of +5 % and a lower limit of +5% or avalue without limits
would not be accepted. The instrument displays Error and the number of the bin
concerned.
No check is made whether the tolerances selected lie in the accuracy range of
the instrument. This accuracy depends on the type and the value of the com-
ponent to be measured and on the test signal frequency and voltage. Refer to
Section 4.4.3.

Stored sets are called up by pressing the RECALL key, the desired storage
register number (1 to 9) and the ENTER key.
If some programmed bins from a set are not to be taken into account during
binning, they can be deactivated by pressing the DISABLE key (except for bin
1).
Pressing the ENTER key now shows only the active bins. A deactivated bin is
activated again by pressing the BIN NO key and the relevant number.
A table in the appendix has been provided for your notes on assignment of the
storage register contents. You can make a copy of the table and fill in the pro-
grammed values.
4.6.2.4 Binning
Select the measurement setup and, if necessary, execute trimming (ZERO

TRIM).
Press the DATA INPUT key on the infrared remote control and call up the bin

The instrument is set to the bin mode by pressing the BINNING key. The
instrument settings stored in the memory are adopted. The instrument switches
automatically to single measurement to avoid measuring errors when inserting
or removing the components to be measured.
The display shows maximum five digits. The instrument calculates with a higher
resolution. For example, the upper limit for bin 1 is 100 52, the instrument measures
100.004 S2; in this case the display shows 100.00 S2, but the component is cor-
rectly allocated to bin 2.
Insert the component and start measuring by pressing the TRIGGER key.
The PM6304 checks the component according to the criteria of the individual bins
and shows in what bin the component is and its value. If none of the criteria of bin

To make further handling of the checked components easier, you can connect
appropriate control lines to the bin numbers by means of the HANDLER INTER-
FACE (option). For example, LEDs that can identify the bin where the component
is placed can be connected by means of these control lines. This process can also
be automated by means of the appropriate application (conveyor and electro-
magnetic flaps).

4.7 OUT-OF-RANGE AND ERROR MESSAGES

The middle segments of the digits are displayed when the following limits are
exceeded:
Resistance >200 MB at AC,
> 50 MSZ at DC
Capacitance > 32 F at 50 Hz, > 16 mF at 100 kHz
Inductance >637 kH at 50 Hz, >318H at100kHz
The asterisk in front of the upper digits indicates that the measured component
is outside the measurement range of the basic error limit.
Select a different appropriate test signal frequency and check that the
measurement is within the basic accuracy; see tables in Section 4.4.3.
The asterisk in front of the lower digits only indicates when impedance is being
measured that the value is outside the basic error limit. Other parameter values
displayed by this digits are secondary parameters and generally not within the
basic accuracy range of 0.1 %; for these no asterisk is displayed.
After power on, the instrument checks the PROM, the processor RAM, and the
external RAM. Additionally the instrument generates error messages if there are
faults during measurements or trimming or if there is a fault during data transfer
to a printer.
Errors are indicated as follows:
Err Program memory checksum error

Err 2 Processor RAM defective
Err 3 External RAM defective
Err External RAM, backup (current instrument settings) destroyed
Err 5 External RAM, stored instrument settings 1 to 9 destroyed
Err 6 Error during analog to digital conversion of the test signal
Er r 1 EEPROM defective
Err 0 Error in trim data (EEPROM)
Err 3 Error in calibration data (EEPROM)
Err I0 Error in binning data (EEPROM)
Err II Error during line frequency detection
Err Iq Test signal out of limits during trimming
Err q0 Communication error to the printer (time-out)
Errors 19 to 41 are errors during recalibration.

A detailed description is given in the Service Manual, Chapter 9.
During measurement with the bias voltage activated, the display shows over if
there is excessive DC current flow from the bias source.
If the values entered for binning do not match each other, the instrument displays
Error when an attempt is made to store them.
If the instrument cannot compensate the short-circuit or open-circuit impedance

during trimming, it displays FAIL. Check the contacts and try it again.

FUNCTION REFERENCE
In Section 5.1, all functions of the instrumentthat can be called up at the key panel
are described in alphabetical order. Each function description contains:
A detailed explanation of the function.
The key sequence for setting or calling up via the keyboard and the relevant
display.
The commands for remote control.
The Programmers Manual contains detailed information about the interfaces for
the remote control, the program message syntax, and thi'e complete set of remote
control commands.
Some functions are possible only with the appropriate options:
For example, binning components according to tolerance class requires the

PM 9559 Bin Programmer or an interface for remote control. Measuring compo-
nents with DC voltage only requires an integrated DC unit.
These functions are identified in the description by 'option'
Section 5.2 describes the functions of the PM 9559 Bin Programmer for program-
ming tolerance ranges for binning components.
5.1 FUNCTIONS OF THE FRONT PANEL OF THE INSTRUMENT

-
AUTO Mode
In this mode, the instrument automatically determines the dominant parameter

of the component measured and'displays the appropriate equivalent circuit sym-
bol. The value of the dominant component is displayed in the upper line, and the
value of the secondary parameter is displayed in the line below.
5-2 FUNCTION REFERENCE, FRONT PANEL PM6304
The decision criterion for defining the dominant component is Q=D=1, with Q
and D not only dependent on the features of the component but also on the test
signal frequency used (see Sections 4.1 and 4.2).
Decision criteria for defining the dominant parameter and for the equivalent circuit
symbol in the sectors of the phase level:

When you are measuring components of low impedance, line and contact imped-
ances can falsify the measuring result. When you are measuring high imped-
ances, this can also be the case due to the parallel impedance of the measure-
ment setup.
When you press the ZERO TRlM key for 2 seconds when there is a short-circuit
input, the line and contact impedances are determined and considered for the
subsequent measurements.
When you press the ZERO TRlM key for 2 seconds when there is an open input,
the impedance of the measurement setup is determined and considered for the
subsequent measurements.
The display shows bUSY and Sct respectively bUSY and Oct during trimming.

5.2 FUNCTIONS OF THE PM 9559 BIN PROGRAMMER

(OPTION)
BIN
Press the DATA INPUT key to set the bin to data input, then press the No key to
call up the desired bin. Next press a digit 0 to 9 to check the data in the bin or to
enter a new data.
Press the DISABLE key to deactivate the bin displayed (bin 1 cannot be dis-
abled). In this case, the data are not taken into account during binning, but are
retained in the memory. Press the No and 0 to 9 keys to reactivate disabled bins.
DATA INPUT
The bins can be defined as follows to meet different requirements.
Nested limits can be set with reference to a nominal valuekto bin components
according to tolerance classes:

PM6304 FUNCTION REFERENCE, BINNING 5 - 21
Bear in mind that the instrument checks the criteria of the bins in the sequence
1 to 9, ending with bin 0. If bin 1 contains the largest tolerance (25%), then
each component with a tolerance c5 % is immediately allocated to bin 1.
For example, bins 1 to 9 check the tolerance of a capacitor and bin 0 checks
the quality factor of the capacitor.
The display is as follows:

BINNING
In this mode, the instrument checks the component to be measured according

to the criteria for the bins entered beforehand; for instrument settings, see Sec-
tion 4.6.2.4. If the component meets the criteria of a bin, that means, it is within
a defined tolerance, the display shows the number of the bin. If the component
cannot be allocated to any bin, the display shows FAIL.
External control lines can be connected by means of a handler interface (option).

CAL Calibrate
The instrument was calibrated in the factory prior to shipment. The calibrating
data are stored in an EEPROM and are taken into account during every measure-
ment.
It is necessary to calibrate again after loss of data (replacing the EEPROM), after
changing components during repair which might influence the measuring result
or when the instrument does not comply with the technical specifications. In
normal operation, recalibration once a year is sufficient. More details on this can
be found in the SERVICE MANUAL.
The calibrating data are protected by a code number.

1 INSTRUCCIONES DE INSTALACION
Y DE SEGURIDAD
INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD
El aparato sale de fabrica, tecnicamente, en perfectas condiciones de seguridad
(ver cap. 1, Reference Manual). Para que se conserven estas condiciones, y para
evitar riesgos en el uso, hay que seguir cuidadosamente las indicaciones
siguientes.
1.1.1 Reparation y rnantenirniento
Defectos y esfuerzos extraordinarios:

Si se piensa que el aparato ya no puede funcionar sin riesgo, hay que apagarlo
y asegurarse de que no se ponga en funcionamiento inadvertidamente. Este es
el caso:
cuando el aparato presenta daAos visibles,
cuando el aparato ya no funciona,
luego de haber sido sornetido a esfuerzos excesivos de cualquier tip0 (p.e. en
el almacenaje o el transporte) que sobrepasan 10s lirnites permitidos.
Abrir el aparato:
Al abrir algunas tapas o al desmontar piezas con herramientas pueden quedar
al descubierto partes bajo tension electrica. Tambien puede haber tension en 10s
puntos de conexion. Antes de abrir el aparato hay que desconectarlo de todas
las fuentes de alirnentacion.
Si es inevitable realizar un calibrado, rnantenirniento o reparacion con el apa-

rat0 abierto que se encuentra bajo tension, solo debe hacerlo un tecnico cualifi-
cad0 que conozca 10s riesgos que existen. Los condensadores del aparato pue-
den seguir estando cargados airn cuando este haya sido desconectado de todas
las fuentes de alimentacion.
1.1.2 Puesta a tierra
Antes de hacer alguna conexion hay que conectar el aparato a un contactor de

proteccion mediante el cable de alimentacion de tres conductores.
El enchufe de la red debe ser insertado solo en tomacorrientes con contacto de
seguridad de tierra.
No se deben anular estas medidas de seguridad, p.e. usando un cable de exten-
sion sin contactor de proteccion.
La puesta protectora a tierra a traves de 10s contactos de medicion en la placa
frontal, a traves de 10s 4 contactos de la toma a la cual se aplica el potencial de
tierra del circuito o a traves del contacto exterior de la toma o de la clavija es inad-
misible.
ADVERTENCIA: Toda interrupcion del contactor de proteccion dentro o

fuera del aparato, o la separacion de la conexion de la
puesta protectora a tierra es peligrosa.
Se prohibe hacer la interrupcion expresamente.
1.1.3 Contactos y conexiones
El potencial de tierra del circuito se aplica a 4 de 10s 8 contactos de la toma,

estando este conectado en paralelo a la carcasa del aparato por medio de con-
densadores y resistencia; el contacto exterior de la toma esta unido a la carcasa
del aparato. De esta forma se evitan zumbidos y se obtiene una clara puesta a
tierra de HE
Si al efectuar una medicion se observa que el potencial de tierra del circuito elec-
trico difiere del potencial de tierra de proteccion, se ha de tener en cuenta que
10s 4 contactos de la toma no deban estar conectados a tensiones que Sean peli-
grosas a1 menor contacto.
1.1.4 Ajuste de la tensi6n de la red y fusibles
Antes de enchufar el aparato a la red hay que verificar si este esta ajustado a la
tension de la red local.
ADVERTENCIA: Si hay que adaptar el enchufe de la red alas circunstancias

del lugar, este trabajo debe realizarlo solo un tecnico cualif-
icado.
Al salir de fabrica el aparato esta ajustado a una de las tensiones de red

siguientes:
Tipo de aparato Nro. de c6digo

I Tensi6n de
red
Cable
suministrado
Europa
Norteamerica
lnglaterra (U.K.)
Suiza
Australia
En la parte trasera del aparato se indica la tension de red ajustada y el valor del
fusible correspondiente.
Hay que tener en cuenta de emplear solamente fusibles con la tension nominal
indicada y del tip0 especificado para recambio. Se prohibe el empleo de fusibles
reparados o cortocircuitar el porta-fusibles. El cambio del fusible solo debera
realizarlo un tecnico cualificado, que conozca 10s riesgos que existen.
ADVERTENCIA: Cuando se cambia un fusible y cuando se ajusta el aparato

a otra tension, este debe ser desconectado de todas las
fuentes de alimentacion.
El aparato se puede ajustar a las tensiones de red siguientes: 100 V, 120 V,220 V
y 240 V en corriente alterna. Se puede hacer la regulacion de estas tensiones
nominales con el selector de tension (combinado con el enchufe en la pared
trasera del aparato).
El fusible se encuentra en un soporte en el mismo sitio. Para ajustar la tension de
la red o para sustituir el fusible hay que desconectar el aparato de la red y abrir

FUNZIONE E NORME Dl SICUREZZA
1.I NORME Dl SICUREZZA
L'apparecchio viene fornito dalla fabbrica perfettamente sicuro e funzionante dal

punto di vista tecnico (vedi Cap. 1, Reference Manual). Per preservarlo in condi-
zioni ottimali e garantirne un corretto funzionamento, attenersi scrupolosamente
alle seguenti istruzioni.
1.1.I Riparazione e manutenzione
Funzionamento anomalo e sollecitazioni eccessive:

Qualora il funzionamento non risultasse regolare, spegnere subito I'apparecchio
e prevenirne ogni accensione accidentale.
Le precauzioni di cui sopra vanno adottate nei seguenti casi:
se I'apparecchio mostra dei danni visibili,
se l'apparecchio non funziona piu,
se I'apparecchio e stato sottoposto a sollecitazioni (ad esempio durante il ma-
gazzinaggio, il trasporto, ecc.) oltre i limiti di tolleranza ammessi.
Apertura dell'apparecchio:
Se i coperchi o alcune parti dell'apparecchio vengono rimossi con appositi at-
trezzi, pub darsi che risultino esposti dei componenti sotto tensione. Anche i punti
di connessione possono essere sotto tensione. Prima di aprire I'apparecchio oc-
corre quindi disinnestarlo dalle relative prese di corrente.
Se fosse necessario eseguire interventi di calibrazione, manutenzione o ripara-

zione con I'apparecchio aperto e sotto tensione, rivolgersi a personale specia-
lizzato che conosca bene i probabili rischi nelle procedure da adottare. Potrebbe
darsi che i condensatori dentro all'apparecchio siano ancora carichi anche se
I'apparecchio e stato disinnestato dale relative prese di corrente.

1.I .2 Messa a terra
Prima di eseguire un qualsiasi collegamento, mediante il cavo di alimentazione

tripolare I'apparecchio deve essere allacciato ad un conduttore di protezione.
La spina del cavo di alimentazione deve essere inserita soltanto in una presa
munita di contatto di messa a terra.
Questa norma resta comunque valida, anche se si utilizza un cavo di prolunga
senza conduttore di protezione.
I contatti di misura sulla piastra anteriore o i quattro contatti della presa su cui
viene applicato il potenziale di terra del circuito di alimentazione, o il contatto
esterno della presalspina, o le prese alla piastra posteriore non devono essere
utilizzati per collegare un conduttore di terra protettivo.
ATTENZIONE: E' estremamente pericoloso interrompere il conduttore di

protezione interno o esterno all'apparecchio o i contatti di
messa a terra. Evitare quindi di farlo intenzionalmente.
1.I .3 Contatti e collegamenti
I1 potenziale di terra del circuito di alimentazione viene applicato a quattro degli

otto contatti della presa e condotto alla carcassa dell'apparecchio tramite con-
densatori e una resistenza collegati in parallelo; il contatto esterno della presa
viene collegato alla carcassa dell'apparecchio. In tal modo, viene realizzato un
collegamento di messa a terra RF univoco esente da interferenze.
Se il potenziale di terra del circuito all'interno di una determinata configurazione

fosse differenziato dal potenziale di messa a terra di protezione, occorre accer-
tarsi che i quattro contatti della presa non siano sotto tensione.

II valore della tensione di rete predisposto e la portata del fusibile sono indicati sul
retro dell'apparecchio.
Si un fusibile deve essere sostituito, fare attenzione a utilizzarne uno caratteriz-

zato dalla portata nominale prescritta e di tip0 idoneo. Non e consentito utilizzare
fusibili riparati e/o cortocircuitare il porta-fusibile. II fusibile puo essere sostituito
solo da personale specializzato che conosca bene i potenziali rischi esistenti negli
interventi di questo tipo.
ATTENZIONE: Per sostituire un fusibile o predisporre un diverso valore

della tensione di alimentazione occorre disinserire I'appa-
recchio dalle relative presa di corrente.
L'apparecchio puo essere predisposto per i seguenti valori della tensione di ali-
mentazione: 100 V, 120 V, 220 V e 240 Vca. Questi valori nominali di tensione
possono essere predisposti con il selettore della tensione (in corrispondenza

DE INSTALLATIE EN VElLlGHElD
Het apparaat heeft de fabriek in een onberispelijke veiligheidstechnische toe-

stand verlaten (zie hoofdstuk 1, Reference Manual). Voor het behoud van deze
toestand en het risicoloze gebruik dienen de onderstaande instructies nauwkeu-
rig te worden opgevolgd.
1.1.1 Reparatie en onderhoud
Storingen en uitzonderlijke omstandigheden

Wanneer verondersteld moet worden dat een risicoloos gebruik niet meer moge-
lijk is, dient het apparaat buiten gebruik gesteld en tegen een ongewenst gebruik
beveiligd te worden. Deze situatie doet zich voor
wanneer het apparaat zichtbare beschadigingen vertoont,
wanneer het apparaat niet meer functioneert,
na blootstelling aan excessieve omstandighedenvan welke aard dan ook (bij
voorbeeld bij opslag, transport) die de toelaatbare grenzen overschrijden.
Openen van het apparaat

Bij het openen van afdekkingen of bij het met behulp van gereedschap verwijde-
ren van onderdelen, kan het risico van contact met spanningvoerende delen ont-
staan. Ook kan er spanning op aansluitpunten aanwezig zijn. Het apparaat mag
pas geopend worden nadat het van alle spanningsbronnen losgenomen is.
Wanneer ijk-, onderhouds- of herstelwerkzaamheden aan een open en onder

spanning staand apparaat onvermijdelijk zijn, mogen deze slechts worden
uitgevoerd door een vakman die weet met welke gevaren dit gepaard gaat. In het
apparaat aanwezige condensators kunnen nog geladen zijn, ook wanneer het
apparaat van alle spanningsbronnen is losgenomen.
INSTRUCTIES MET BETREKKING TOT
1.1.2 Aarding
Alvorens men een verbinding tot stand brengt, dient men het apparaat met
behulp van een drieaderige kabel met een veligheidsaarddraad te verbinden.
De netsteker mag slechts op een stopcontact met randaarde worden aangeslo-
ten.
Deze veiligheidsmaatregel mag niet onwerkzaam gemaakt worden, bij voorbeeld
door het gebruik van een verlengsnoer dat niet van een veiligheidsaarddraad
voorzien is.
Een beschermde aarde aansluiting via de meetansluitingen aan de voorkant,
over de 4 steker contacten welke op schakelnulpunt-potentiaal liggen, via het
externe contact van de steker (stekerhuis) of van de steker, of via de stekers aan
de achterkant is niet toegestaan.
- ---
WAARSCHUWING: Elke onderbreking van de beschermende aardleiding,

hetzij binnen of buiten het apparaat, of de scheiding
ten opzichte van de aardleiding zijn gevaarlijk. Een
opzettelijke onderbreking is verboden.
1.1.3 Aansluitingen en verbindingen
Het aardpotentiaal van de stroomkringen wordt aan 4 van de 8 contacten van de

steker verbonden, en is met het huis verbonden via parallel aangesloten conden-
sators en weerstand; het externe contact van de steker (stekerhuis) is met de
behuizing verbonden.
Op deze manier wordt een duidelijke bromvrije HF-aarding tot stand gebracht.
Wanneer in een meetopstelling het schakelnulpunt-potentiaal van een stroom-

kring afwijkt van het beschermde aardpotentiaal, dan dient men er op bedacht
te zijn, dat de 4 contacten van de steker geen gevaarlijke spanningen mogen
voeren!
