Preamble

MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE

1. DEFINITION

The AX 6000 instrument is a milliohmmeter designed to test metallization encountered in aviation. This quality test controls the mechanical assembly of each part who constituting a plane.

For this, he characterized the control of the junction between two or more parts using the principle of measuring electrical continuity.

Each branch is then represented by an ohmic resistance which must be as low as possible.

2. PRINCIPE

The measurement principle is to circulate a calibrated continued current 0.1A, 1A or 10A between any two points A and B materializing the resistance to measure RX. Then it proceed to read the potential between these two points, the measured voltage at terminals of the resistance is proportional to the current passing through, according to the ohm's law:

U = RI

To realize these measurements the instrument uses:

9 A constant current generator supplied with a 12 V Lithium Polymer battery.

9 Two probes with doubles contacts for the "4 wires" measurement:

• A contact (point) to establish the current in the resistance to measure.

• Another contact (point) to measure the potential difference through an

instrumentation amplifier.

9 A voltmeter allows reading the voltage kept at the amplifier output.

Note: the three measurement currents are: 10 A for the metallic and aluminium parts, 1 A and 0.1 A for the composites materials parts.

4. AUTOMATIC ZERO

During its measurement cycle, the instrument carried out automatically an auto-zero measurement to eliminate undesirables' thermo-electrics effects in the measurement circuit and carried out the measurement zero of the instrument compensating the offset errors in the measurement amplifier.

Then, at each measurement, the instrument memorizes the spurious external voltage of the thermocouple present in the R

terminal before the passage of the current in

order to subtract it from its new value obtained during the passage of the current.

5. BATTERY / INSTRUMENT AUTONOMY

The 12VDC 4400 mA/h battery with Lithium Polymer (Li-Po) technology is integrated in a bloc. This technology allows for the best space / electrical capacity. The battery pack is removable from the device without tools.

The battery capacity guaranteed to carry out 1000 measurements. Following the battery state, number of charges and its age, it's possible that the number of measurement will decrease significantly, in this case, change the battery with a new one and recycle the old one (see the recycling conditions in the appendices).

The battery charge is carried out with the power supply which connected with a jack connector. The battery is fitted with a light (LED) which indicates to the user the charge state. The complete charge time is less than 3 hours. The charge can be carried out the battery out of the instrument.

Use only the power supply fitted with the instrument. See the instructions and security precautions concerning the instrument use in the appendices.

The measurements ranges allow define the measurement size. More the range size is small; more the measurement will be fine and precise.

The measurement ranges can be selected automatically (auto-ranging) or manually by the user.

The ranges are: Auto, 6Ω, 600 mΩ, 60mΩ, 6mΩ (200 mΩ, 20mΩ, 2mΩ for the 3A current option).

The ranges measurement values and their accuracy are indicated in the preamble of this user manual.

The manual mode allows to directly target the range which the user is waiting the measurement result. If he didn't know the range which the measure may be carried out, it's better to select the "Auto" mode, the instrument will apply the most appropriate range.

Note: in automatic mode, the test time is a little longer than the manual mode (range research) so, the total number of tests for a battery charge can be less.

5.1.6. Measurement mode

The current establishment can be done following the two modes. The mode is represented by a symbol in the upper right corner of the display in test mode.

Resistive mode: the current establishment is instantaneous. The resistive mode is represented by:

Inductive mode: to limit the impact due to inductive elements (coils) present in the measuring circuit (case of a 100 m winding not unwind or partially unwind)

This mode generates a progressive test current rise and drop in the measurement circuit. The rise and drop times can't be modify. The inductive mode is represented by:

UM-30300D-U User manual AX 6000 Page 23 / 54

Chapter 3 – Starting up and adjustments

Automatic mode: this mode allows detecting if the circuit is inductive or resistive. Following the characteristics of the measured circuit, the device will adapt its measurement. The icon displayed on the right top of the screen show the mode.

If the circuit is resistive, the device displays the symbol:

If the circuit is inductive, the device displays the symbol:

Note: in the case of installation of a reel on the measurement circuit, it will be automatically detected in this mode

3. SAFETY INFORMATION

You must read and understand these safety instructions and warnings before using or charging your lithium polymer batteries.

Operating environment

Remember to follow any special current regulations any area, and always switch off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause interference or danger.

Use the device only in its normal operating positions.

Your device and its enhancements may contain small part. Keep them out of the reach of small children.

About Charging

Use only the charger supplied with your device. Use of another type of charger will result in malfunction and/or danger.

Use the specified battery in the equipment.

When the green LED turns off, the charge is complete.

About the Charger

Do not use the charger in a high moisture environment. Never touch the charger when your hands or feet are wet.

Allow ventilation around the charger when using it. Do not cover the charger with paper or other objects that will reduce cooling. Do not use the charger while it is inside a carrying case.

Connect the charger to a proper power source. The voltage requirements are found on the product case and/or packaging.

Do not use the charger if the wires become damaged. Do not attempt to service the unit. There are no serviceable parts inside. Replace the unit if it is damaged or exposed to excess moisture.

This charger is not a toy and should not be used by children or infirm persons without proper training or supervision.

Do not use it as a power source.

Unplug it before attempting to service or clean it.

About the Battery

CAUTION: This unit contains an internal Lithium Polymer battery. The battery can burst or explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, pierce or dispose of the battery or the instrument in fire or water, do not short circuit or short the contacts with a metal object.

Use a specified charger approved by the ATEQ manufacturer and supplied with the device.

Safety for Lithium Polymer battery use

NEVER leave the battery unattended during the charging process. Remove the battery on a

nonflammable surface. The battery must imperatively be placed on a non-flammable surface during charging (ceramic platter or metal box).

Charge the Lithium Polymer battery ONLY with the charger provided.

NEVER use a Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) type battery charger to charge a Lithium Polymer battery.

UM-30300D-U User manual AX 6000 Page 50 / 54

Page 63

Appendices

If the battery begins to overheat more than 60°C (140° F), STOP IMMEDIATELY the charge. The battery should NEVER exceed 60°C (140° F) during the charging process.

NEVER charge a battery pack immediately after use and while still hot. Leave it cool down to ambient temperature.

If you see some smoke or some liquid out of the battery, stop the charge immediately. Disconnect the battery from the charger and place it in an isolated area for at least 15 minutes. DO NOT USE THE BATTERY AGAIN, but replace it with new one.

Keep a fire extinguisher for electrical fires handy while charging the battery. In the unlikely event that the Lithium Polymer battery will ignite, DO NOT use water to extinguish the fire, take some sand or fire extinguisher described above.

Do not pierce, cut or NEVER compress the jacket of a Lithium Polymer battery. If the battery is swelling up or if the cover is damaged, DO NOT USE AGAIN. Replace with a new one.

It must neutralize the Lithium Polymer battery elements unusable. The neutralization process must be performed with very strict security fit. It is recommended that you contact a specialist in this type of battery to perform this task, which is responsible to collect the battery out of use and gives to a specialized recycler.

Do not dispose of Lithium Polymer batteries to the dustbin.

The Lithium Polymer battery is not suitable for children under 14 years. Do not let a Lithium Polymer battery reach of children

To prevent leakage or other hazards, do not store batteries above 60°C (140°F). Never leave the battery inside a car (for example) where the temperature could be very high or in a place where temperatures could exceed 60°C (140°F). Store the battery in a dry place to avoid contact with liquid, whatever the type. Store the battery only on a nonflammable surface, heat resistant, non conductive and away from all flammable materials or sources. Always store the battery out of reach of children.

A Lithium Polymer battery should be stored with a minimum charge of 30%. If you store completely discharged, it will quickly become unusable.

If you don't follow these safety precautions, you may cause serious personal injury and damage to property; you may even cause a fire!

The ATEQ Company disclaims any responsibility for damage sustained in case of non compliance with these safety instructions.

Using a Lithium Polymer battery has a high risk of fires and can cause serious damages to property and persons, the user agrees to accept the risk and responsibility.
