PRINCIPLE
The DIGITAL MICRO-OHM METER is a precise,
wide range, small resistance and high resolution
measuring instrument. As for preventing any measuring
errors, especially to avoid the influence of "LEAD STRAY
RESISTANCE" or "TEST WIRE'S RESISTANCE", the
meter is designed according to the following "4 WIRES
MEASURING PRINCIPAL" to maintain the meter in
high accuracy.
Fig. 2
Please refer to 2-2 Electrical Specification ( page 2 ),
*
each range exists fixed test current ( from 6000 Ω to
60000 uΩ .
he fixed current flow through the unknown resistor Rx.
*
From the terminal " Sense + " and " Sense - " can measure
*
a voltage Vx = Is x Rx.
According the Vx value, then meter can get the unknown
*
resistance (Rx) values from following formula :
Rx = Vx / Is
he measured resistance value between "Sense +" and
*
"Sense -"is not affected by any stray resistance of test wire.

MEASUREMENT
Please check carefully the meter's power supply is DC
*
9V power adapter before operating at 60000 uΩ range .
It's prohibited to input voltage to the 4 wire input
*
terminal ( Force +, Sense +, Sense -, Force - ) to
prevent any internal circuit damage.

Range rotary switch" ( 3-10, Fig. 1 ) to exit the " OFF "
position and then select measuring range from 60000 uΩ
to 6000 Ω according to your requirement.
Note
Always select the highest range ( 6000 Ω
*
) if you don't know the resistance value o
the resistor and then select lower rang
in sequence.
At 60000 uΩ ( 10A )must use DC 9V

the unknown resistance.
4)Press the "START / STOP" key ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) will start
measure the unknown device.
Press once again will stop measure function and
froze the result at LCM.
5)When your tested material has inductive, you can press
" L/ " key ( 3-7, Fig. 1 ) for change to inductor mode▲
( at 600 mΩ and 60000 uΩ range) , Display will showing
" L " mark. normal is resistor mode.
7. HI/LO WARNING SETUP
This instrument has Hi, Lo warning value setup function
and a buzzer which are specially designed for quality
control.
Primary to press the " SET / TEST " ( 3-4, FIG. 1 )
button enter setting mode.
1) Hi warning value setup
he last digit should flash at " H i warning value " on
the display . Then press " L / " buttons ( 3-7, Fig.▲
1 ) to increase or " COMP / " buttons ( 3-9, Fig. 1 )▼
to decrease digit that you want to alter large value,

T
Press " BEEP / " ( 3-8, Fig 1) button once
will start buzzer, press once again to disable
next digit unit (10th, 100th. 1000th).
* Hypothesize display be set at 180.00 .
2) LO warning value setup
Finished (1) procedure then press the " SET / TEST "
button ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) again, The last digit should flash
at " LO warning value " on the display . Other
operate way same above explain.
* Hypothesize display be set at 179.00 .
Finished (1)(2) procedure then press the " SET /
3)
EST " button ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once . The function

10. BATTERY REPLACEMEN
1)
measurement may still be made for several hours after
low battery indicator appears before the instrument
become inaccurate.
2)Loose the " Battery Cover Screws " ( 3-21, Fig. 1 )
