2312G INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CHAPTER 1: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
A. The 2312G provides the means for quickly test, calibrate and troubleshoot a turbine
temperature indicating system installed on this type of engines. It has sufficient sensitivity
and accuracy to test thermocouple and system resistance, insulation, and indicator
calibration. It features portability, simplicity of operation, direct reading, and multifunction
versatility.
B. The 2312G is supplied with a vinyl carrying case with test cable compartment and a plug-in
test cable (except 2312G-8, P/N 101-00557).
2. THEORY
A. The low resistance ohmmeter circuits are the four-wire type. This circuit virtually eliminates
the effects of lead wire resistance so that direct readings as low as 0.02 ohm are easily
done.
B. A high resistance ohmmeter measures resistance leakage up to one (1) megaohm. The
45-volt power supply often reveals leakage that is not detected by conventional low voltage
ohmmeters, but is well within circuit insulation limitations.
C. A Wheatstone Bridge circuit provides an accurate direct reading of lead resistance. A self-
contained resistance standard is provided for calibration immediately before making lead
resistance measurement. This eliminates the need for measuring test lead resistance and
subtracting its value from subsequent measurements. A unique transistor switching circuit
protects the meter from overloads due to attempting measurements much lower or higher
than nominal.
D. For indicator calibration tests, an adjustable thermocouple simulator is provided with
simulated lead resistance. Ambient temperature correction is set by a panel adjustment and
direct comparison made between the 2312G and the indicator under test up to 1000 C.
3. SWITCHING FUNCTIONS (Refer to Figure 4.)
A. The meter bezel knob (3) permits setting of the meter pointer as required.
B. The “CAL. ADJUST” control knob (4) permits exact adjustment to desired test points when
used in conjunction with the “TEST” pushbutton (6) or the “CAL” pushbutton (7).

11/7/14 Page 5 / 20
2312G INSTRUCTION MANUAL
C. The “FUNCTION” switch (5):
(1) In the “RX1” position, permits resistance measurement readings in direct values on the
panel meter (2) “RX1 / RX10” scale.
(2) In the “RX10” position, the reading on the “RX1 / RX10” scale must be multiplied by 10.
(3) In the “INS.” position, insulation resistance (2.5k to 1 megaohm) is displayed on panel
meter’s “INS.” scale.
(4) In the “LEAD” position, lead resistance value is displayed on the panel meter’s “LEAD
RES.” scale.
(5) In the “IND.” position, the 2312G is a millivolt source for simulating temperatures from -
20 to +1000 C displayed on the panel meter’s C scale.
D. The BLACK “TEST” pushbutton activates applicable circuitry and permits meter readings of
the function selected.
E. The RED “CAL.” pushbutton is used with the “CAL. ADJUST” control knob and allows scale
adjustment.

CHAPTER 3: OPERATION
1. GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Consult temperature indicator system and/or engine manufacturers’ instructions for procedures
and specifications. Read complete 2312G Operation procedures before attempting to use the
2312G.
A. Overload Protection Circuit:
Because of the meter protection circuit in the “LEAD” function, resistances much lower or
higher than nominal will disable the measurement circuit, and the meter pointer will start to
move quickly and then return to rest, at or near, bottom of scale. Measurement can be
resumed by releasing the ‘”TEST” pushbutton, waiting a couple of seconds for automatic
reset, then pressing the “TEST” pushbutton again. If the resistance is out of range, but
not sufficient to trip the protective circuit, the pointer will go to one of its stops, but the
current will not be sufficient to overload the meter.
B. Preparation For Use:
(1) Battery Installation/Replacement:
(a) Place the 2312G on a clean area. (A clean cloth or paper pad placed to the right
of the 2312G to receive the inverted panel is desirable.) Remove the four (4)
corner screws. Withdraw the panel and rest it to the right of its case.
(b) Insert the 1.5-volt, size D (NEDA 13A) battery by grasping the ends and pushing
straight down. Observe polarity. The RED terminal is positive (+).
(c) Insert the 45-volt No. 415 (NEDA 213) battery. Observe polarity. Align terminals
and swing into clips. Use pressure from the bottom until battery is seated in clips
and terminals.

2) Press the “CAL.” Pushbutton. Adjust the “CAL. ADJUST” control for full scale
(b) To check the 1.5-volt battery used for all functions other than insulation:
1) Rotate the “FUNCTION” selector switch to the “RX1”, “RX10” or “IND.”
2) Press the “CAL.” pushbutton switch. Adjust the “CAL. ADJUST” control for full-
(5) Insert test lead plug fully into receptacle (Refer to 1-1, Figure 1, 1) at the top of
the2312G before attempting to operate the 2312G.
NOTE:
For ALL battery checks, the test cable plug must be inserted and test lead clips
(6) Adjust meter pointer with meter bezel knob to low end of scale zero (“0”) before
resistance or insulation tests. Adjust to ambient for indicator tests. (An accurate
thermometer placed next to the indicator under test is recommended.)
NOTE:
More positive pointer action is achieved when bezel knob is positioned so
(7) To remove inherent friction, gently tap 2312G meter bezel after each adjustment and
before reading. Also tap system indicator before reading unless specifically instructed
otherwise by manufacturer’s instructions.
C. Hot Engine Testing
A hot engine will cause thermocouples to generate a small potential, which will
produce errors in measured resistance values. This effect is inherent in any type of
resistance measuring instrument. It is more troublesome in ohmmeters than in Wheatstone
Bridge circuits, so it will be more noticeable on the “RX1” and RX10” functions than on the
“LEAD” function.

This effect can be circumvented by taking two measurements: the first, with test leads
connected in one polarity; and then, reversing the lead connections for the second
measurement. The true value is equal to the average of the two readings (i.e., add the two
readings and divide by two). The two readings must be taken in quick succession so that
the thermocouple temperature will be the same for both readings. If the thermocouples are
too hot, the readings will be too far from nominal to provide sufficient accuracy. In this case,
wait for the engine to cool further.
