Safety Information
This meter has been designed and tested in accordance with IEC Publication 348. To ensure that the meter is used safely, follow all safety and operating instructions in this manual. If the meter is not used as described in this manual, the safety features of the meter might be impaired. Do not use the meter if the meter or test leads look damaged, or if you suspect that the meter is not operating properly. Turn off power to the circuit under test before cutting, unsoldering, or breaking the circuit. Small amounts of current can be dangerous. Do not apply more than 500V rms between a terminal and earth ground. Use caution when working above 60V dc or 30V ac rms. Such voltages pose a shock hazard. When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes. Disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.

Operation Instructions Introduction
2-1. Introduction
This chapter describes how to make measurements with your 8062A. Even though you may have used a multimeter before, we suggest that you take the time to read this material carefully so that you can take full advantage of the wide variety of measurement functions offered by the 8062A.
2-2. Unpacking Your Instrument

Your instrument was shipped with two test leads (one red and one black), a 9V battery, and this manual. Check the shipment carefully and immediately contact the place of purchase if anything is missing or damaged in shipment. If reshipment is necessary, please use the original shipping container. If the original container is not available, be sure that adequate protection is provided to prevent damage during shipment. It is recommended that the instrument be surrounded by at least three inches of shock-absorbing material in the shipping container.
2-3. Battery Installation or Replacement

The 8062A is designed to operate on a single, common, inexpensive 9V battery (NEDA 1604). You can expect a typical operating life of up to 170 hours with an alkaline battery, or 80 hours with a carbon-zinc battery. When the battery has exhausted about 80% of its useful life the BT indicator will appear at the far left of the display. Your instrument will continue to operate properly for at least 24 hours with an alkaline battery after BT first appears on the display. The 8062A also may be operated from a standard ac power line outlet when used with the optional A81 Battery Eliminator (refer to Chapter 7 for a description).

Operation Instructions Fuse Replacement

You can measure the voltage of your battery by using the following procedure: 1. 2. Select the dc voltage function and the 20V range.
Locate the opening for the battery eliminator jack on the right side of the instrument to the right of the display. Touch the red (VS) probe tip to the side contact (not the center pin). Be sure you do not short the battery by shorting the side contact to the center pin. Battery voltage should be between 5.2V to 10V for proper operation. If the voltage is less, the battery should be replaced.
2-4. Fuse Replacement

There are two fuses located at the right side of the battery compartment (refer to Figure 2-2 or examine your instrument). The fuse at the far right is F1. Fuse F1, 2A/250V, protects the current input from an input overload. The other fuse is a spare fuse for F1. When you purchase your instrument, F1 should be installed and the spare fuse should be in one of the two slots next to it. The larger slot is for the American-style fuse, and the smaller slot is for the European-style fuse (either style fuse fits in the installation compartment). If you need to replace F1, use the tip of a test lead to push the fuse forward from the end and then up to release. Replace F1 with the appropriate 2A/250V fuse; American-style: fast-acting, type AGX2, 1/4 x 1, Fluke PN 376582; European-style: 5 x20 mm, Fluke PN 460972. Do not use makeshift fuses or short-circuit the fuseholder. There is another fuse, F2, 3A/600V, which also protects the current input. The instrument cover must be removed to replace F2. This procedure is described in Chapter 4 and should only be done by a person qualified to service the instrument. The following steps provide a quick and easy way to check the condition of both fuses F1 and F2: 1. 2. 3. 4. Select the resistance function and the 2 k range. Touch the red test lead tip to the A input jack so that the VS input and the A input are shorted together. If the display reads .1000 .0100 k, both fuses are good. If the display read OL, one or both fuses need replacement. 2-5

The following paragraphs describe the power-on self-test, and how to operate your 8062A in each of the seven primary functions or the two secondary functions.
2-10. Power-On Self-Test

To turn on your instrument, locate the green switch on the left side of the instrument and slide it forward. Whenever you turn on the instrument, the 8062A automatically performs a self-test to make sure the display and the microcomputer are functioning properly. If everything is functioning properly, all the LCD segments in the display will turn on (Figure 2-4). After about one or two seconds, the display will go blank briefly before responding to switch selections. If the LCD segments do not all turn on during the self-test, or if the instrument does not clear the display after the test and then respond to switch selections, something is probably wrong with the instrument. Try the test again, and if it fails, have a qualified person refer to Chapter 4. If there is no display when you turn on the instrument, check the battery and battery connections. You will find that if you turn off your instrument and then immediately turn it back on, a random assortment of LCD segments may be displayed. This is normal. After about a second the instrument should turn on all the LCD segments as usual during the self-test.

2-12. True RMS Measurement

One of the most useful features of the 8062A is the direct measurement of true rms or effective ac voltages and ac currents. Mathematically, rms is defined as the square root of the sum of the squares of the ac and dc components. In physical terms, rms is equivalent to the dc value that dissipates the same amount of heat in a resistor as the original waveform. The reason that rms is so valuable is that it greatly simplifies the analysis of 2-11
8062A
Instruction Manual
complex ac signals. Since rms is the dc equivalent to the original waveform, it can be used in the relationships derived from Ohms law (E = I x R), and provides a reliable basis for comparing dissimilar waveforms. Most meters in use today have average-responding ac converters rather than true rms ac converters like the 8062A. Usually the gain in averageresponding meters is adjusted so that the reading gives the rms value, provided the input signal is a harmonic-free sinusoid. However, if the signal is not sinusoidal, the average-responding meter does not give correct rms readings. The 8062A ac converter actually calculates the rms value through analog computation. This means that 8062A readings are accurate rms values not only for harmonic-free sinusoids, but also for mixed frequencies, modulated signals, square waves, sawtooths, 10%-duty-cycle rectangular pulses, etc.
2-13. AC-Coupled AC Measurements

Input signals are ac-coupled in the ac functions. One of the major advantages of ac-coupling is that ripple measurements can be made on power supplies, phone lines, etc. Ripple measurements cannot be made with dc-coupling. Remember, however, that when the 8062A measures signals with the ac voltage function, the reading on the display does not include the dc component (if it exists). For example, consider the waveform in Figure 2-7. The ac voltage function will measure the ac rms component. The dc voltage function will measure the dc component. To obtain the total rms value for such a waveform, first measure the ac and dc values separately, then calculate the total rms value using the formula given in Figure 2-7.

0V RMS Total = (ac rms component)2 + (dc component)2

2-14. Waveform Comparison and Conversion

Figure 2-8 shows the relationship between common waveforms and the display readings for the 8062A and average-responding meters. Figure 2-8 also illustrates the relationship between ac and dc measurements for accoupled meters. For example, consider the first waveform, a 1.414V (0-pk) sinewave. Both the 8062A and the rms-calibrated average-responding meter display the correct rms reading of 1.000V (the dc component equals 0). However, consider the 1.414V (0-pk) rectified square wave. Both types of meters correctly measure the dc component (0.707V). But only the 8062A correctly measures the ac component (0.707V). The average-responding meter measures 0.785V, which amounts to a 5.6% error in the total rms measurement calculated from the ac and dc components.

2-15. High Impedance DC Voltage

Occasionally you may want to make dc voltage measurements in high impedance circuitry where even the 10 M input impedance for the normal dc voltage function could load the circuit and cause significant errors. For example, a 10 M input impedance causes a .1% error when measuring the voltage across the 10 k leg of a 90 k over 10 k voltage divider. The 8062A offers a >1000 M (typically >10,000 M) input impedance dc voltage function which greatly reduces this error. Figure 2-9 describes how to select the high input impedance dc voltage function (the ac voltage function does not operate in this mode). Notice that all of the function switches must be out to select this function. Either the 2V or the 200 mV ranges may be selected.

Note When taking measurements in the high impedance dc voltage function, do not select any ranges except the 2V or 200 mV ranges. Measurement in other ranges will result in erroneous readings. Note When the high impedance dc voltage function is selected and no inputis applied, noise from the environment (such as rf or power line noise) may cause the 8062A to display OL (overrange).
2-16. AC/DC Current (A)

Selection of the ac or dc current (A) function is described in Figure 2-10. The 8062A offers five ac (true rms ac-coupled) and five dc current ranges: 200 A, 2 mA, 20 mA, 200 mA, 2000 mA. Each range is protected by a 2A/250V fuse in series with a 3A/600V fuse. When a meter is placed in series with a circuit to measure current, you may have to consider an error caused by the voltage drop across the meter (in this case, across the protective fuses and current shunts). This voltage drop is called the burden voltage. The maximum full-scale burden voltages for the 8062A are 0.3V for the four lowest ranges and 0.9V for the highest range. These voltage drops can affect the accuracy of a current measurement if the current source is unregulated and the resistance of the shunt and fuses represents a significant part (1/1000 or more) of the source resistance. If burden voltage does present a problem, you can calculate the error by using the formula in Figure 2-11. You can minimize this error by selecting the highest current range that provides the necessary resolution.

Selection of the resistance function is described in Figure 2-12. There are four fixed ranges (200, 2 k, 20 k, 200 k) plus the autoranging M range consisting of three ranges: 2 M, 20 M, and 300 M. In all fixed resistance ranges (200, to 200 k), the test voltage is less than that required to turn on most semiconductor junctions. This feature, sometimes referred to as low power ohms, aids in troubleshooting by allowing you to measure resistors independent of effects of in-circuit transistors and diodes. For the fixed ranges the maximum full scale voltage across the circuit being measured is less than 250 mV. The autoranging M ranges have enough voltage to turn on semiconductor junctions (maximum 2.5V full scale), but the current is very low (2.2 A maximum).

Resistance measurements for all ranges are made using a two-wire ratiometric technique. This means that test lead resistance may affect the accuracy in the 200 range. You can correct this error by shorting the test leads together, reading the test lead resistance, and then subtracting it from resistance readings. The most convenient way to do this is with the relative function as described later in this chapter. This technique is also useful for removing the .02 error factor in the 200 range (refer to resistance specifications in Chapter 1).
2-18. Autoranging Megohms

When the autoranging M range is selected, the 8062A automatically selects the range appropriate for the measurement. The measurement resolution decreases in the two higher M ranges as shown in Table 2-3. Readings made at the crossover points between ranges are microcomputer-stabilized by an offset in the upscale and downscale directions. Range changes are made at 2.00 M and 20.00 M as readings go upscale, or at 19.0 M and 1.90 M as readings go downscale.

To select this range, you must simultaneously press the M and the 200 switches as shown in Figure 213. Like the autoranging M ranges, the autoranging k ranges have enough voltage to turn on semiconductor junctions. Note that the use of the relative function with the autoranging k ranges is restricted to the autoranging k ranges. Refer to the description of the relative function for more information. The autoranging k has the same decrease in resolution (see Table 2-3) and the same display hysteresis as the autoranging M.

Selection of the diode test is described in Figure 2-14. Notice how the test leads are placed to forward-bias or reverse-bias the diode in the figure. The diode test measures the forward voltage of a semiconductor junction (or junctions) at a 1 mA ( 10%) test current. Readings are displayed in the 2V range, with OL displayed for voltages greater than 2V. For a silicon diode, the typical forward voltage at 1 mA is about 0.6V. A reverse-biased semiconductor junction should display the overrange (OL) indicator provided that any resistance parallel to the junction is greater than 2 k.

A quick way to check for shorted or open junctions is to reverse the test leads. If the junction indicates the same in-scale reading both directions, it is probably shorted. If the junction indicates an overrange both directions, it is open.
2-21. Relative (REL)

The relative function allows you to store any reading as an offset or relative reference value. When you press the REL button, the REL indicator appears in the upper right corner of the display, and the 8062A stores the next measurement in a register along with the function and range. Subsequent measurements are displayed as the difference between the measured value and the stored relative reference (refer to Figure 2-15).

The stored reference is subtracted from subsequent measurements: 4. To cancel the relative reference, press REL. The REL indicator disappears and the original measurement value is reestablished:

For example, if a reading of 1.0000V dc is displayed when the REL button is pressed, (the display will read 0.0000 after REL is pressed), subsequent readings will have 1.0000 subtracted from them. If the next measurement is 1.2700V dc, the reading displayed will be .2700. If the next measurement is 0.8500V dc, the reading displayed will be -.1500. You may cancel the relative reference by pressing the REL button (the REL indicator disappears from the display), by turning the instrument off, or by storing a relative reference with another function. If you change ranges, the relative reference is automatically multiplied or divided by the appropriate power of ten before being subtracted from the measurement. If you change functions, the REL indicator disappears and the relative reference is stored with the original function. When you reselect the function, the relative reference is restored (the REL indicator reappears) unless a new relative reference was established in another function. The relative function may be used with all the measurement functions: ac or dc voltage, ac or dc current, resistance, and diode test. When used with continuity, the relative function stores the accompanying resistance readings. Note that the input overload limits are not affected by the use of the relative function. Another thing to be aware of when using relative reference is that the range of possible readings is still subject to the limits of the display and the 19999 counts of the analog-to-digital (a/d) converter, regardless of the relative reference. For example, suppose the instrument is in the dc voltage function with the 20V range selected, and you store a relative reference of 15V. The maximum positive voltage reading that can be displayed without overranging is 4.999V, which is actually a 19.999V input signal. Any input signal greater than 4.999V exceeds the 19999 counts of the a/d converter. The minimum (negative) voltage reading that may be displayed without overranging is 19.999V, which is a -4.999V input signal. Any input signal less that -4.999V causes an overrange (indicated by OL on the display) because the display has reached negative full-scale. You can avoid this situation by selecting a higher range. Remember that even though the REL indicator appears on the display almost instantaneously after the REL button is pressed, the relative reference is not stored until the next measurement takes place. For all functions, the time between measurements is about 0.4 seconds. A typical way to use the relative reference is to correct for test lead resistance. Although test lead resistance is usually very small (typically two or three ), it can be significant when measuring low resistances. To correct 2-23

for it, select the desired resistance range, short the test leads together, and press the REL button. The REL indicator will appear and the display will read zero. The 8062A will automatically subtract the stored test lead resistance from subsequent measurements. Other common applications for relative reference include: offset nulling (dc and ac voltage or current), diode and transistor matching (diode test), resistor matching () and voltage deviation (ac and dc voltage). Note The use of the relative function with the autoranging k ranges is restricted to the autoranging k ranges. If you take a reference reading within the autoranging k range and then use it as a reference outside autoranging k, or use a reference reading taken outside autoranging k within the autoranging k, errors will result. There is no restriction on the use of the relative function with the fixed resistance ranges or with autoranging M.

2-22. Continuity (
To select the continuity function, first select the resistance function and then press the button under the display. The button functions like a three-position switch: the first button press enables visible continuity (the indicator is displayed), the second button press enables audible continuity (the is displayed), and the third button press cancels continuity selection (the indicator disappears). The selection of continuity is summarized in Figure 2-16. When continuity is detected, visible continuity is indicated by the long bar across the top of the display. Audible continuity (if enabled) is indicated by the tone emitted from the instrument. Continuity is a quick check to verify whether circuit connections are intact. The continuity detection threshold is typically <50% of the resistance range selected for the fixed ranges (i.e. continuity is detected if resistance is less than 100 in the 200 range, less than 1 k in the 2 k range, etc.). The detection threshold is <100 for the autoranging k range, and <100 M for the autoranging M range. The 8062A can detect continuity for intervals as brief as 50 s (typically as brief as 10 s). It extends the visible of audible indication to a minimum of 200 ms to make it easy to observe results. Note that while continuity is enabled, the 8062A still makes resistance measurements and displays the readings.
2-23. Initial Check-Out Procedure

Here is an easy procedure you can use to verify that your 8062A is operating properly for most functions. All you need to perform these tests are the test leads and access to a standard wall socket. Remember that you are not trying to verify the instrument accuracy, but are simply confirming that the functions work. Performance tests and calibration adjustments are presented in Chapter 4. If the instrument passes the self-test when the instrument is first turned on, then the display and the microcomputer are working properly.

Theory of Operation Introduction
3-1. Introduction
This chapter describes how the 8062A works. An overview of the operation is provided first, followed by description of the two major components and the measurement functions. A detailed schematic of the instrument appears in Chapter 7.
3-2. Functional Description

The major circuits and components of the 8062A are arranged in a block diagram in Figure 3-1. Two major components make up the measurement system: a four-bit CMOS microcomputer, and CMOS integrated circuit known as the Measurement Acquisition Chip (MAC). The microcomputer selects the appropriate measurement function in the MAC according to the switches or buttons pushed by the operator. The microcomputer also controls the measurement cycles, performs calculations on measured data, and drives the display. The MAC measures the conditioned input signals with the a/d converter or the frequency counter. The MAC also controls the power supply and the continuity tone generator. The microcomputer and the MAC communicate through a four-bit bidirectional bus and four control lines. Both components are described in more detail later in this chapter. As shown in Figure 3-1, the input signals are routed by the range and function switches through the appropriate signal conditioners for input filtering and scale changes. Input signals for all measurement functions except frequency are converted to a proportional dc analog voltage that is applied to the a/d converter. The dual-slope a/d converter converts the dc analog voltage to a digital number that is sent to the microcomputer. Each of the major measurement functions are described later in this chapter.
3-3.
Microcomputer
The four-bit CMOS microcomputer senses switch positions by reading status registers in the MAC, and senses button pushes through input lines connected directly to the microcomputer. The microcomputer processes the information and then selects the appropriate digital and analog configuration in the MAC by writing to an array of MAC control registers.

The operation of the instrument is controlled by software routines that are stored in the microcomputer memory. These routines include the normal operating routine, the power-on self-test, or special self-test routines that may be selected by the operator. When the instrument is first turned on, the microcomputer performs the self-test routine which checks the LCD segments and the interface to the MAC (refer to Chapter 2 for operating instructions). While the LCD segments are on (a minimum of 1.6 seconds), the microcomputer exercises the bus and checks the internal registers in the MAC to make sure it has control over them. If the microcomputer detects a problem with the MAC interface, it stays in the self-test routine with the LCD segments on until the problem is resolved or the instrument is turned off. After the power-on self-test routine is successfully completed, the microcomputer checks to see if the operator has selected the ratio self-test or the switch decoding self-test (refer to Chapter 4 for operating instructions). If neither of the self-tests has been selected, the microcomputer begins the normal operating routine. The operating routine consists of four steps: 1. The microcomputer reads the function and range selections and checks the two push buttons to determine the mode the operator has selected. The microcomputer then configures the a/d converter.

Theory of Operation Functional Description

2. 3.
The microcomputer initiates the a/d measurement cycle (approximately 400 ms) which is described later in this chapter. The microcomputer processes the data obtained in the measurement cycle. This includes calculations for the relative (REL) offset and M autoranging. The microcomputer displays the results. The results remain on the display until it is updated.
4.
After the results are displayed, the routine begins again at the first step.
3-4.
Measurement Acquisition Chip (MAC)
A block diagram of the MAC is shown in Figure 3-1. The digital control logic includes a buffer and decoder, read and write logic, status and control registers, and logic control for the continuity function. The power supply control uses the calibrated 1.0000V a/d reference voltage obtained from a bandgap reference diode to regulate the 5.2V main power supply for the instrument. When the continuity function is selected and continuity is detected, the MAC generates the tone by supplying a square wave to the external piezoelectic transducer.
3-5.
A/D Converter Cycle
The heart of the MAC is the dual-slope a/d converter. A block diagram of the analog portion of the a/d converter is shown in Figure 3-2. The internal buffer, integrator, and comparators work in conjunction with external resistors and capacitors to convert the dc analog voltage to a digital number. The internal switches are FET switches that are controlled by the microcomputer and the MAC digital control logic. The switchable integrator gain depends of the function and range selected. The complete a/d measurement cycle is shown in Figure 3-3. It consists of three consecutive time periods: autozero (AZ), integrate (INTEG) and read. A fourth time period, overload (OL) is also used if an overrange reading is taken. The total length of the measurement cycle is 400 ms. The length of the integrate period is fixed at 100 ms. One hundred ms is a multiple of the period of 50 Hz or 60 Hz power, which helps to reduce the possible power line noise that might interfere with the measurement. The waveform at the INTEG capacitor is shown for three sample measurement readings: halfscale, full-scale, and overrange. 3-5

The measurement cycle begins with the autozero period. The AZ switches close, applying a ground reference as the input to the converter. Under ideal conditions the output of the comparator would also go to zero. However, input-offset voltage errors accumulate in the buffer amplifier loop, and appear at the comparator output as an error voltage. To compensate for this error, the error is impressed across the AZ capacitor where it is stored for the remainder of the measurement cycle. The stored level is used to provide offset voltage correction during the integrate and read periods. The integrate period begins at the end of the autozero period. As the period begins, the AZ switches open and the INTEG switches close. This applies the unknown input voltage to the input of the converter. The voltage is buffered and then begins charging the INTEG capacitor. The waveform at the INTEG capacitor is a ramp from near zero to some maximum value determined by the amplitude and polarity of the unknown input voltage.

As the read period begins, the INTEG switches open and the READ switches close. This applies the known reference voltage from a flying capacitor whose polarity is chosen by the a/d converter to be the opposite of the polarity of the unknown input voltage. The INTEG capacitor begins discharging at a fixed rate while a counter begins counting. The counting stops counting when the INTEG capacitor voltage equals the initial autozero voltage. The count is proportional to the unknown input voltage, and is placed on the display by the microcomputer. If during the read period the counter counts up to the maximum number of counts for a full-scale reading (19999 counts) and the INTEG capacitor charge has not yet reached the initial autozero voltage, the microcomputer knows an overrange reading has been taken. The microcomputer places OL on the display and commands the a/d converter to go into the overload (OL) period which rapidly slews the integrator voltage back to the initial autozero voltage. The measurement cycle ends at the end of the read period for an on-scale reading, or at the end of the overload period for an overrange reading. A new measurement cycle then begins with the autozero period. The display update rate for measurement functions that use the a/d converter is approximately 0.4s, or about 2-1/2 readings per second.

Voltage Measurement
Both the ac and dc voltage ranges use an over-voltage-protected 10 M input divider as shown in Figure 3-4. The over-voltage protection includes two 2-watt fusible resistors and four metal-oxide varistors for high voltage clamping.

Figure 3-4. Voltage Measurement
Depending on the range selected, lower leg resistors of the divider are connected to ground to perform the input signal division. The dc input voltages for all ranges are divided by the appropriate factor of 10 to produce a proportional dc signal which is then filtered and applied to the input to the a/d converter. The dc and ac voltage ranges and division factors are listed in Table 3-1 along with the corresponding range of inputs to the a/d converter. Notice in Table 3-1 that the 2V dc voltage range is divided by 1 (not 10). The microcomputer compensates by decreasing the integrator gain in the a/d converter by a factor of 10 (refer to Figure 3-2). The integrator gain is also reduced by a factor of 10 in the 1000V dc voltage range, which uses the same divider arrangement as the 200V dc voltage range.
3-8
The ac input voltages are divided with the same divider arrangement as the dc input voltages, with the exception that the 2V ac voltage range is divided by 10. The divider output signals for ac voltages are ac-coupled to the input of a true rms ac converter which produces a current output. A negative dc representation of the ac input signal is filtered and applied to the input of the a/d converter.

Current Measurement
Current measurements are made using a double-fuse-protected, switchable, five-terminal current shunt (0.1 ohm, 1 ohm, 10 ohm, 100 ohm or 1 kilohm) to perform the current-to-voltage conversion required by the a/d converter. A block diagram of current measurements is shown in Figure 3-5. When the dc current function is selected, the dc voltage drop across the shunt is filtered and applied to the input of the a/d converter. When the ac current function is selected the ac voltage drop across the shunt is ac-coupled to the input of the true rms ac converter. The dc representation of the ac voltage is filtered and applied to the input of the a/d converter. All current ranges use the 200 mV a/d converter input range.

Resistance Measurement
Resistance measurements are made using a ratio technique as shown in Figure 3-6. When the resistance function is selected, a series circuit is formed by the ohms source, a reference resistor from the voltage divider (selected by the range switches), and the external unknown resistor. The ratio of the two resistors is equal to the ratio of the voltage drop across each of them. Since the voltage drop across the reference resistor and the value of the reference resistor are known, the value of the second resistor can be determined. Input protection during resistance measurements consists of a thermistor and a double-transistor clamp. The operation of the a/d converter during a resistance measurement is basically as described earlier in this chapter, with a few exceptions. During the integrate period the voltage drop across the unknown resistor charges the INTEG capacitor. During the read period, the voltage across the known resistor (stored on the flying capacitor) discharges the INTEG capacitor. The length of the read period is a direct indication of the value of the unknown resistor. 3-10
3-9.
Continuity Measurement
Continuity measurement is a voltage comparison made in the resistance mode as illustrated in Figure 3-6. The 8062A determines whether continuity exists in the circuit under test by comparing the voltage drop across the external circuit with a continuity reference voltage. If the voltage drop across the external circuit is less than the reference voltage, the comparator sends the appropriate signal to the continuity logic. The continuity logic notifies the microcomputer which turns on the visible indicator (the full-length bar across the top of the display). If the audible indicator is enabled, the continuity logic enables the tone generator. The direction threshold is typically 50% of the full scale resistance range selected. When the 8062A detects continuity for brief intervals (50 s or greater), the microcomputer extends the visible and audible indication to a minimum of 200 ms to allow easy perception by the operator.

4-4. Handling Precautions for Using Static Sensitive Devices
Caution
0
This instrument contains CMOS components which can be damaged by static discharge. Static sensitive components on the main pcb include U3 and U4. The microcomputer pcb includes one static sensitive component, U5, the microcomputer. To prevent damage, take the following precautions when troubleshooting and/or repairing the instrument: Perform all work at a static-free work station. Do not handle components or pcb assemblies by their connectors. Wear static ground straps. Use conductive foam to store components. Remove all plastic, vinyl and styrofoam from the work area. Use a grounded, temperature-regulated soldering iron.
4-5.
Disassembly and Reassembly
The instrument has two pcbs: the main pcb and the microcomputer pcb. To gain access to the calibration adjustments, the backup fuse, or the LCD, you have to remove only the top cover. You can also do some troubleshooting with only the top cover and the top ac shield off. For other troubleshooting or to gain access to the microcomputer pcb, you have to remove the main pcb from the case. If you remove the main pcb from the case, you will need to perform the calibration adjustments. Be sure to heed the notes and cautions about special handling requirements.

8062A
Instruction Manual
Note It is not necessary to remove the main pcb from the bottom case in order to disassemble or reassemble the LCD. However, because the LCD and the microcomputer require similar special handling, the disassembly and reassembly procedures are described together. Caution To avoid contaminating the pcbs with oil from the fingers, handle the pcbs by the edges or wear gloves.
4-6.
Calibration and Backup Fuse Access
Use the following procedure to gain access to the calibration adjustments or the backup fuse (F2): 1. 2. 3. Disconnect the test leads and battery eliminator, if attached. Turn the power switch off. Remove the three phillips screws from the bottom of the case. Turn the instrument face-up and grasp the top cover at both sides of the input connectors. Then pull the top cover from the unit. The backup fuse and the calibration adjustments are now accessible (Figure 4-1). Caution The function buttons below the display are part of a single elastomeric strip (Figure 4-1) that is held in place by the top cover. When the top cover is removed, the elastomeric strip will be loose and may be removed. Do not touch or contaminate the carbon-impregnated switch contacts on the bottom of the strip or the switch contacts on the microcomputer pcb. If the contacts do become contaminated, clean them with isopropyl alcohol. 4. To reassemble, position the elastomeric strip on the microcomputer pcb so that the small rubber posts on the bottom of the strip are properly seated. Install the top cover and fasten the three screws on the bottom case.

Caution Do not touch or contaminate the plastic insulator that is attached to the inside of the case bottom. When the instrument is assembled the insulator makes contact with the leads on the bottom of the main pcb. Contaminants could cause undesirable conduction paths. If the insulator becomes contaminated, clean with isopropyl alcohol. 3. Reassemble in the logical reverse order and heed the following notes: a. When reassembling, be sure to put on the ac shield after the main pcb has been placed in the case bottom. The reason for this is that the screw which holds down the ac shield has a spring attached. The spring provides the electrical connection between the top of the ac shield and the bottom of the shield (under the insulator). If the ac shield is attached to the main pcb before the main pcb is in the case, the spring may fold across the insulator and not be in proper position to make the electrical connection. Be sure to place the green power switch cap over the small black power switch before sliding the main pcb into the case. Be sure to route the battery-clip wires to the left side of the post under the backup fuse case.

The LCD interconnect (item 7) and the microcomputer interconnect (item 5) should not be touched with fingers or contaminated. Handle these items with tweezers and keep them clean. The microcomputer interconnect (item 7) is susceptible to corrosion caused by the reaction between the metal in the connector and possible contaminates in the air such as smoke or sulfur. Store the connector in an air-tight container if the LCD is disassembled for a long period of time. Do not get fingerprints or dirt on the LCD display, the display lens, or the gasket. While the LCD and microcomputer pcb are assembled, take care not to press down on the display lens because pressure could damage the LCD.
To disassemble the LCD, use your thumbnails and push on the corners of the LCD display, gasket, and display lens so that all three components slide out together as shown in Figure 4-3. Note It is not necessary to remove the main pcb from the bottom case to disassemble or reassemble the LCD. To assemble the LCD, use the following procedure: 1. Align the LCD display (item 8) as indicated in Figure 4-2 and slide it into place. The bottom edge of the LCD display should compress the LCD interconnect (item 7) and slide underneath the two plastic notches on the LCD bracket (item 1). Refer to Figure 4-2 and follow steps 9 and 10 to complete assembly.

4-11. Performance Tests

The following procedures allow you to compare the performance of your instrument with the specifications listed in Chapter 1. They are recommended for incoming inspection, periodic calibration, and to verify specifications. If the instrument fails any test, calibration adjustment and/or repair is needed. You do not have to disassemble the instrument to perform the tests. Throughout these procedures, the 8062A being tested is referred to as the UUT (Unit Under Test).
4-12. Initial Procedure

For any of these tests, make sure you do the following: 1. Allow the temperature of the UUT to stabilize in a test environment with an ambient temperature of 23 5C (73 9F) and a relative humidity of less than 80% Check the fuses and battery and replace them, if necessary. Make sure the leads are disconnected from the UUT. Set the power switch to on and set all other switches to the out (off) positions.
2. 3.
4-13. Microcomputer and Display Test

Use the automatic power-on self-test to test the microcomputer and the LCD display. Turn the UUT off, then turn it on while observing the display. All of the LCD segments should turn on. After about one or two seconds, the display should go blank briefly and then respond to switch selections.

Use the following procedure to verify proper operation of the diode test: 1. 2. Remove any connections to the inputs of the UUT and select the diode test function. The display should indicate OL (overrange). Connect the UUT and the DMM Calibrator as shown in Figure 4-4 and apply a resistance of 1.000 k. A reading of .9000 to 1.1000 (typical) should appear on the UUT display.
4-19. Calibration Adjustments

Under normal operating conditions the 8062A should maintain the specifications given in Chapter 1 of this manual for at least one year after calibration. If your 8062A has been repaired or if it has failed any of the performance tests, you need to perform the calibration adjustments. Test equipment needed for the adjustments are listed in Table 4-1. If the test equipment is not available, your nearest Fluke Service Center will be glad to help. Call (toll-free) 800-426-0361 for assistance. After you have completed the calibration adjustments, we recommend that you complete the performance tests to verify proper operation. In the following procedure, the 8062A that is being adjusted is referred to as the UUT (Unit Under Test). Note The top ac shield should remain installed in the instrument while the calibration adjustments are being performed. The positions of the trimpots and trimcaps are marked on the top ac shield along with a table summarizing the calibration procedures. Note The performance of the 8062A ac functions is affected by the capacitance between the main pcb and the bottom ac shield, which is dependent on the distance between them. The distance may vary, depending on whether the top cover is installed. To minimize performance variations, make certain the intstrument is firmly seated in the bottom case before making any calibration adjustments. After you have performed the adjustments and installed the top cover, if you find that the measurement values obtained for the ac function performance tests are consistently too high or too low, remove the top cover and repeat the adjustments accordingly.

Allow the UUT to stabilize with the power off for at least 30 minutes at an ambient temperature of 21 to 25C (70 to 77F). Complete the calibration access procedure presented earlier in this chapter. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 4-4 and turn on the equipment. On the UUT, select the dc voltage function and the 2 volt range. Turn R6 fully clockwise (CW), and turn R5 fully counterclockwise (CCW). Program the DMM Calibrator for an input of 1.9000V dc. Adjust R5 for a display reading slightly greater than 1.9000. Adjust R6 for a display reading between 1.8999 and 1.9001. On the UUT, select the 200 mV range (dc voltage function). Program the DMM Calibrator for an input of 190.00 mV dc. Adjust R8 for a display reading between 189.99 and 190.01. On the UUT, select the ac voltage function and the 200 mV range. Turn R18 full CW and turn R15 fully CCW. Program the DMM Calibrator for an input of 100.00 mV ac at 200 Hz. Adjust R15 for a display reading slightly greater than 100.00. Adjust R18 for a display reading between 99.95 and 100.05.

Caution

Static discharge can damage MOS components U3, U4, and U5. Follow the handling precautions for static sensitive devices previously described in this chapter. Never remove, install or otherwise connect or disconnect components without first setting the instrument power switch off and disconnecting any inputs to the instrument. If necessary, refer to Chapter 2 for operating instructions or Chapter 3 for the theory of operation. The troubleshooting information is supported by the schematics and tables in Chapter 7.
4-21. Self-Tests
The 8062A offers three self-tests: power-on self-test, ratio self-test, and switch decoding self-test. The power-on self-test is automatically performed whenever the instrument is turned on. It is described in Chapters 2 and 3. The other two tests function as follows:
4-22. Ratio Self-Test

The ratio self-test is an operating mode of the 8062A in which the reference voltage for the a/d converter is applied to the a/d converter during both the integrate and the read periods. If the instrument is functioning properly, the display should read 10000 10 counts (the decimal point location depends on the range, and does not affect the number of counts). To select the ratio self-test, select a voltage or current function. Hold down the button while you turn on the instrument. After the power-self-test has been completed (the display is .8.8.8.8) release the button. The instrument should now be in the ratio self-test mode. To cancel the ratio selftest, press the button or turn off the instrument. If the count is within tolerance, it gives a strong indication that the a/d converter is working properly. If the count deviates more than 5 counts from 10000, the probable causes are as follows ( in order of probability): a/d converter in U3, leakage around or failure of C16, C18, Z3, R8, or the power supply. 4-19
8062A
Instruction Manual
4-23. Switch Decoding Self-Test

To select the switch decoding self-test, hold down the REL button while you turn on the instrument. After the power-on self-test has been completed (the display is .8.8.8.8), release the REL button. The instrument should now indicate the switch decoding. To cancel the switch decoding self-test, turn off the instrument. The switch decoding self-test indicates how the software in the microcomputer interprets the configuration of the eight switches and four push buttons. Each function or range that may be selected corresponds to a number that appears in one of the digit positions on the display (see Table 45). Notice that if no range is selected, the microcomputer assumes the 200 (A, mV, ) range is selected. In some cases it may helpful to know that the microcomputer scans the switches in order from SW5 to SW8 (there is no input for switch SW4, the default range). The microcomputer assumes the first range switch detected as being pushed in is the desired range. For example, if you press in both the 200V and 1000V switches while in dc voltage, the microcomputer assumes you want the 200V range. There is one exception: if the microcomputer detects that the 2 k switch is selected, it checks for the 20 k switch which indicates diode test selection when pushed in. Also during the switch decoding self-test, the continuity indicator (the long bar across the top of the display) indicates the state of the continuity comparator. When the voltage at U3-4 (CM-) is less than at U3-3 (CM+), the continuity indicator is on. When the voltage at U3-4 is greater than at U3-3, the continuity indicator is off. You can use this feature to check the comparator when troubleshooting the continuity function. R9 controls the setting of the comparator offset.

4-24. Troubleshooting Guide

A troubleshooting guide is presented in Table 4-6. The guide is structured around the performance tests presented earlier in this chapter. To use this guide, complete the performance tests and note any discrepancies in performance. Then locate the test, symptom, and possible cause of malfunction in Table 4-6. When several possible causes of malfunction are listed, they are listed in order beginning with the most probable to the least probable. A section abut troubleshooting the power supply is also included. The following troubleshooting techniques can be helpful: When troubleshooting, remember to use the switch decoding self-test to determine whether the microcomputer properly interprets the function and range selection. Do not remove the main pcb from the bottom case unless you must do so to gain electrical access to circuits. You can gain electrical access to almost all of the input circuitry through the switch contact pins on the top of the switch deck (refer to the schematic in Chapter 7). 4-21
8062A
Instruction Manual
One way to check the input circuitry is to attach a high impedance (>1000 M) DMM at the input of the 8062A a/d converter, U3-6. You can do a lot of troubleshooting without the LCD and microcomputer pcb installed. Although there will be no display and the a/d converter will not work, the power supplies still work so you can check the input circuitry, the diode test and ohms sources, and the ac converter. Another advantage is that you gain access to all the pins on U3 without having to turn the main pcb over. You can troubleshoot the input circuitry with U3 removed (be sure to disconnect the battery before removing U3). Since U3 controls the power supply, removing U3 will cause the ac converter and diode test source to stop working. However, it will also eliminate any power supply leakages that might be affecting the input circuitry. Since the input protection, input divider and ohms reference resistors, amps protection, current shunts, and a/d input circuits consist of passive components (refer to the schematic in Chapter 7) you can check them without having U3 installed.

Accessory Information Introduction
6-1. Introduction
This chapter of the manual contains information concerning the accessories available of use with your multimeter. Each accessory, as shown in Figure 61, is described in general terms under a separate major heading containing the accessory model number. The depth of detail is intended to give the prospective user an adequate first acquaintance with the features and capabilities of each accessory. Additional information, when necessary, is supplied with the accessory.
6-2. Deluxe Carrying Case (C90)

The C90 Deluxe Carrying Case is a pliable, vinyl, zipper-closed pouch that provides in-field-transport protection for the instrument as well as convenient storage locations for test leads, operator guide and other small accessories. A finger- or belt-loop is included on the case as a carrying convenience.
6-3. Temperature Probes (80T-150C and 80T150F)

The 80T-150 Temperature Probe coverts the instrument into a direct-reading (1 mV dc/) C (80T-150C) or F (80T-150F) thermometer. It is ideally suited for surface, ambient, and liquid measurements and lends itself easily to a wide range of design, troubleshooting, and evaluation applications. A rugged, fast-responding probe-tip with a 350V dc standoff makes the 80T150 one of the most versatile and easy-to-use temperature probes available. RANGE (C/F) 80T-150C ........................................ 80T-150f ......................................... ACCURACY..................................... -50C to +150C -58F to 302F 1C (1.8F) from 0C to 100C, decreasing linearly to 3C (5.4F) at -50C and +150C 350V dc or peak ac Internal disposable battery; 1,000 hours of continuous use.

6-4. Current Transformer (80I-600)

The Model 80I-600 extends the maximum 2A ac current measuring capability of the instrument up to a maximum of 600 amps. A clamp-on transformer designed into the probe allows measurements to be made without breaking the circuit under test. In use, the current carrying conductor being measured serves as the transformers primary, while the 80I-600 serves as the secondary. Because of a high efficiency, quadrature type of winding, wire size and location of the conductor within the transformer jaws do not affect the accuracy of the current measurement. RANGE ............................................. ACCURACY..................................... FREQUENCY RESPONSE .............. DIVISION RATIO............................ INSULATION................................... MAXIMUM CONDUCTOR SIZE ... 1 to 600A ac 3% 30 Hz to 1 kHz, 10 kHz typical 1000:1 5 kV 2-inch diameter
6-5. High Voltage Probe (80K-6)

The 80K-6 is a high voltage probe designed to extend the voltage measuring capability of an ac dc voltmeter to 6000 volts. A 1000:1 voltage divider provides the probe with a high input impedance. The divider also provides high accuracy when used with a voltmeter having a 10 megohm input impedance. A molded plastic body houses the divider and protect the user from the voltage being measured. VOLTAGE RANGE ......................... INPUT IMPEDANCE....................... DIVISION RATIO............................

Accessory Information High Voltage Probe (80K-40)
6-6. High Voltage Probe (80K-40)

The Model 80K-40 extends the voltage measurement capability of the instrument up to 40 kV. Internally, the probe contains a special 1000:1 resistive divider. Metal-film resistors with matched temperature coefficients comprise the divider, and provide the probe with its excellent accuracy and stability characteristics. Also, an unusually high input impedance (1000 M) minimizes circuit loading, and thereby contributes to measurement accuracy. VOLTAGE RANGE ......................... INPUT RESISTANCE...................... DIVISION RATIO............................ ACCURACY DC (OVERALL) ........ UPPER LIMIT ..................................

6-7. High Frequency Probe (83RF)

The 83RF Probe extends the frequency range of your multimeters voltage measurement capability to include 100 kHz to 100 MHz inputs from 0.25 to 30V rms. The probe operates in conjunction with the instruments dc voltage ranges, and provides a dc output that is calibrated to be equivalent to the rms value of a sinewave input.
