Figure 1: AEMC INSTRUMENTS Model 6255 Micro-Ohmmeter.The image displays the AEMC Model 6255 Micro-Ohmmeter housed within its robust yellow protective case, which is shown open. The device itself is yellow and black, featuring a clear LCD display that shows "72.6" and "0.1365 mΩ". To the left of the display are red and black input terminals labeled C1, P1, P2, and C2. Below the display are several control buttons. On the right side, there is a large rotary dial and a yellow START/STOP button. The overall design emphasizes durability and ease of use for industrial applications.

Cumpunenti chjave:

• Display LCD: Provides clear readings of resistance values, current, and other operational parameters.
• Input Terminals (C1, P1, P2, C2): For connecting test leads to the circuit under test. These are typically used for 4-wire (Kelvin) measurements to eliminate lead resistance.
• Buttuni di cuntrollu: Used for navigating menus, setting parameters, and initiating tests.
• Selettore rotativu: For selecting measurement ranges or functions.
• Pulsante START/STOP: Initiates and terminates resistance measurements.
• Custodia protettiva: Durable yellow case designed to protect the instrument in various environments.

4. Setup

4.1 Carica iniziale

The AEMC Model 6255 is powered by an 8.5Ah NiMH battery. Before first use, or if the battery is low, connect the provided charger to the instrument and a suitable power outlet. Allow sufficient time for the battery to fully charge. The charging indicator on the device will provide status.

4.2 Cunnessione di i cavi di prova

The Model 6255 utilizes a 4-wire (Kelvin) measurement method for high accuracy, which requires four connections to the test object. This method minimizes the impact of lead resistance on the measurement.

1. Ensure the instrument is turned off before connecting leads.
2. Connect the current leads (C1 and C2) to the outer points of the resistance to be measured.
3. Connect the potential leads (P1 and P2) to the inner points of the resistance to be measured. These leads measure the voltage drop across the resistance.
4. Ensure all connections are secure and clean to prevent erroneous readings.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Accensione / spegnimentu

Press and hold the power button (if separate, or a specific function on the rotary dial) to turn the instrument on. Repeat the action to turn it off.

5.2 Selecting Measurement Mode

Use the rotary selector switch to choose the desired measurement range or mode. The Model 6255 supports resistance measurements from 0.1 microhm to 2500 ohms.

5.3 Eseguisce una misurazione

1. Ensure the test leads are correctly connected to the object under test as described in Section 4.2.
2. Select the appropriate measurement range using the rotary dial. If unsure, start with a higher range and decrease as needed.
3. Press u START/STOP button to initiate the measurement. The instrument will apply a test current (0.1A to 10A) and display the resistance value on the LCD.
4. Wait for the reading to stabilize. The LCD will show the measured resistance with 0.1 microhm resolution.
5. Press u START/STOP button again to stop the measurement.

5.4 Archiviazione è richiamu di dati

The Model 6255 can store up to 1500 test results. Refer to the on-screen menu or specific buttons (e.g., "MEM" or "SAVE") for instructions on saving and recalling measurements. The RS232 interface allows for data transfer to a computer for further analysis.

6. Mantenimentu

6.1 Pulizia

Regularly clean the instrument's casing è visualizazione cù un dolce, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure the instrument is turned off and disconnected from any power source before cleaning.

6.2 Cura di a batteria

To prolong the life of the 8.5Ah NiMH battery:

• Ricaricate a batteria quandu appare l'indicatore di batteria bassa.
• Avoid deep discharges where possible.
• If storing the instrument for an extended period, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) and recharge it every few months.
• Ùn espone micca a bateria à temperature estreme.

6.3 Calibrazione

The AEMC Model 6255 is a precision instrument. While the product description states "No Calibration Certificate" is included, periodic calibration by a qualified service center is recommended to ensure continued accuracy and compliance with industry standards. Contact AEMC INSTRUMENTS for calibration services.
