Connecting a resistor

Applicable modules: U8551, LR8531

You will need: a flat-head screwdriver (with a tip width of 2.6 mm) and an input cable (for resistance measurement)

 

Recommended wire diameter

Single-wire

Diameter of 0.32 mm to 1.29 mm (AWG 26 to 16)

Stranded wire

0.2 mm2 to 0.52 mm2 (AWG 24 to 20)

Standard stripping length

9 mm

1 Open the terminal block cover.

2 Press down on the terminal button with the flat-head screwdriver.

3 Insert the cable into the terminal hole while depressing the button.

 

 

Connect the resistor using a 4-wire setup (the instrument cannot measure 2- or 3-wire setups).

One side of the resistor: Insert the wires into the positive terminal (red) and the SoH terminal (red).

Other side of the resistor: Insert the wires into the negative terminal (black) and the SoL terminal (black).

4 Remove the flat-head screwdriver from the button.

The cable will be locked in place. Pull gently on the cable and verify that it does not come out.

5 Close the terminal block cover.
