GENERAL.
a. mm Mode. The Model 164 serves as a line aperated 3-l/2 digit multimeter having wide ranges for
measllrement of voltage, currerlt, and resiseance. I"
the D"M mode. the 164 offers seven dc volrage ranges
(from 1 microvolt per digit to 1000 volts). eight dc
current ranges (from 0.1 nanoampere per digif to 2
amperes), and eight resistance ranges (from 0.1 ohm
per digit LO 2000 megohms).
b. Milliobmmerer-Obmeter Mode. The Model 164
also Provides five additional resistance ra"ze8 for
mas";eme"fa requiring resolution to 10 microbm per
digit. Four-terminal measurement technique minimizes
the effects of lead and contact resistance in 1orresistance measurements.

low-level noise is present in some form in nearly al1
electrical circuits. The instrument does not distinguish between stray and signal voltages since it measures the net voltage. When using the 1 mV and 10 mV

phenomena such a~ thermocouples (thermoelectric effect,, flexing of coaxial cables (triboelectric effect), apparent residual charges on capacitors (dielectric absorption,, and battery actFan of two dFf-
ferenr contact materials (galvanic action).

3-6. POWER SUPPLIES.
a. t15 Volt supply.
1. The 15 volt supplies tap a--c power from a
secondary winding of transformer T201. Diodes
0203 (A, B. C, and D) and capacitors C204, C205,
C209, and C210 compose a full-wave rectifier with
filtering.
2. The +15 "DlC regulator CirC"it utilizes
3. Transistors 4211 and Q212 form a differential
amplifier which compares the voltage at R218 with
respect to low. The difference voltage is amplified by transistor Q210 and fed to Darlington transister pair, Q207 and 9208, which series regulate
the -15 volt OUtpUt.

THEORY OF OPERATION
b. +3.6 Volt Supply.
1. The +3.6 volt supply taps a-c power from a
secondary of transformer T201. Modes D2Ol and
0202 and capacitor c201 form a full-wave rectifier
0
with filtering.
Transistor Q205 amplifies the difference be-
2.
tween rhe +3.6 output and a reference voltage derived from the +15 volt supply and determined by
resistors R203 and R204.
The difference voltage
is applied by transistor 4204 which drives a Darling-
ton transistor pair, Q201 and Q202. The Darlint?
ton pair series regulates the +3.6 volt output.
C. +210 Volt 0ufp"f. l The +210 "OIL supply is an
unregulated voltage supply using the half-wave fil-
tered voltage at diode D206 and capacitor c212.
d. +170 Volt output.
1. Regulator. The +170 volts is derived from
the +210 "01~s at emitter of Q302 which series regulates the +170". Transistor Q303 provides a reference for the base of transistor Q302.
2. Lnanking circuit. This circuit controls the
Cl70 voltage for the three right hand readout tubes
The "Q" output of Q.43078 drives the base of tran-
sisror 4304 for nomal re@aror o~eratian. When
an overload occurs, the "Q" output is law turning
off transistor Q304. This results in a drop of
the +170 volt output causing blanking of the read-
0
out tubes.
e. MllliOhrn source supply. The primary windings
Of T1201 are conneceed in parallel with transformer
T201. AC power for both is supplied from line connector P201 via fuse F201 and switch s1201. The dual
primary windings are connected in parallel by switch
S202 for 117 volt operation and in series for 234
Volt operation.
I" addition, fuse F202 is connected
in the circuit for 234 volts.
3-7. ELECTRONIC TRIP CIRCUITRY. The IWO trip circuits in the 164TT are essentially the same, differing only in that the LO trip output eransistor is a"
NPN type while the HI trip output transistor is a
PNP. The analog signal at 5103 (schematic 26244EI
is a one volt signal for full scale input to the mm.
This signal is applied to the *nverting inputs of
QA1301 and QA1302 through resistors RI309 and ~1314.
The reierence voltage used to determine the trip
point is derived from rener diode D1301. The HI
limit is set by RI307 and the Lo limit by R1308.
These limit voltages, either of which may be set
from -2 volts to c2 volts, are applied to the non-
inverting in,mrs of Q.41301 and QAI302 through resis-
tars RI310 and R1315.
If the HI limit is set at
+1.0 volt and the analog output is less than +1.0
volt, Lhe output of QA1302 will be positive and the
HI output transistor 91302, will be cut off. "he" tile
analog o"t~"t exceeds +l.O volt, the o"t~ut of QA1302
Will become negative, turning an Q1302 and causing
relay K1302 to close and lighting the front-panel
trip lamp 051302. A small voltage is developed across
R1320 which is connected back co the non-inverting inPUC of QA1302 through resistor R1317. This provides
SOme hysteresis so the relay will not drop 0°C until
the input is somewhat less than the trip point. The
LO limit CiPz"iC functions the same way except the
out,,ut of Q.41301 is normally negative. since the
*river transistor QlSOl is an NW, it is C"Z off by
this2 voltage. setting the trip points is done by
holding in s1,01 or 51302 and adjusting the correspending limit control, RI307 or Rl308. When the HI
litniL switch 51301 is operated. the analog OUtpUt of
the mm is disconnected from the A/D converter. The
output of QA1302 is connected to the A/D con"erter
and also to the inverting input of QA1302. making it
into a unity-ga*n voltage follower for the trip paint
voltaRe a,qlied to the "an-inverting input. Thus the
A/D converter indicates the magnitude Of the trip
paint voltage.
