4.3.5 Input Isolation Tests
These tests check the resistance (isolation) between the NC. and N.O.
terminals of every scanner card channel. In general, the test is performed by applying a voltage (1OOV) across the terminals and then
measuring the leakage current. The isolation resistance is then calcu-
lated as R = V/I. In the following procedure, the Model 617 functions as
a voltage source and an ammeter. In the V/I function, the Model 617 internally calculates the resistance from the known voltage and measured
current levels and displays the resistance value.
Referring to Figure 4-2, perform the following procedure to check differential input isolation:
WARNING
The following steps use high voltage (1OOV). Be sure to remove power from the circuit before making connection
changes.

Using Table 4-2 to identify scanner card terminals, connect the
Model 617 to the scanner card as shown in Figure 4-2.
On the Model 617, select the 2pA range, and enable zero check and
zero correct in that order. Leave zero correct enabled for the entire
procedure.
On the Model 617, set the voltage source for i-lOOV, and select the
200nA current range. Make sure the voltage source is still in
standby.
Place the Model 617 in the V/I measurement function by pressing
.
SHIET OHMS.
On the Model 617, disable zero check and press OPERATE to,
source 1oov.
After allowing the reading on the Model 617 to settle, verify that it is
>lGQ.
Place the Model 617 in standby and enable zero check.
Connect the electrometer Input HI lead to channel 1 N.O. of the
scanner card, and connect V-Source HI channel 1 COMMON.
Repeat the basic procedure in steps 5 through 8 for channels 2
through 20.
