Overview
The RM9003 Press Unit, which is designed exclusively for
use with the Electrode Resistance Measurement System,
is used after being afxed to the RM9004 Test Fixture. It
serves to place the probes in contact with the measurement
surface on the object under test (the electrode sheet). A tilt
mechanism improves maintainability, while an up/down lock
mechanism improves safety.

Assembly (RM9003, RM9004, RM9005)
CAUTION
To avoid equipment damage, turn off the RM2611
Electrode Resistance Meter before connecting or
disconnecting the RM9005 Connection Cable.
IMPORTANT
The device ships with the up/down lever locked with the lock
release lever clamp knob. Loosen the knob before using the
device for the rst time.
Place the RM9003 Press Unit’s up/down lever in the
1
raised position.
Slide the RM9004 Test Fixture into position along
2
the RM9003 Press Unit’s test xture insertion rails.
Push the test xture toward the rear until it won’t go
any further.
Pull the test xture lock lever toward you and
3
downward and then let go to lock.
The RM9004 Test Fixture will lock in place.
Connect the grounding cable on the rear of the
4
RM9003 Press Unit to the ground terminal on the
RM9004 Test Fixture.
Connect the connector on the RM9004 (the female
5
side) and connector on the RM2611 (the male side)
using the RM9005 Connection Cable and screws
that hold it in place.
Secure the RM9005 Connection Cable in place with
6
the cable clamp.
There are screws for attaching the cable clamp on the
left and right sides of the RM9003 Press Unit. Choose
the appropriate side based on the position of the
device.
IMPORTANT
• When connecting the RM9005 Connection Cable, insert the
cable into the connector rmly and tighten it in place with screws.
If the screws loosen, the resulting poor contact could cause a
measurement error.
