Security
This instrument has been designed and tested in accor dance with IEC Publication 1010-1, Sa­fety require ments for electrical equipment for measurement , control, and l aborator y use. It cor­responds as well to the the CENEL EC regulations EN 61010-1. All cas e and chassis part s are connec­ted to the safety earth conductor. Corresponding to Safety Class 1 regulations (three-conductor AC power cable).
Do not disconnect the safety ground either inside or outside of the instrument!
The instrument must be disconnected and secu­red against unintentional operation, if you suppose that safe operation is not possible.
This may occur: – if the instrument shows visible damage, – if the instrument has loose parts. – if the instrument does not function, – after long storage under unfavourable
circumstances (e.g. outdoors or in moist environments).
When removing or replacing the metal case, the instrument must be completely disconnected from the mains supply.

Warranty and Repair

Our instruments are subject to strict quality con­trol s. Prior to le aving the manu facturin g site, each instr ument undergoes a 10-h our burn-in te st. This is followed by extensive functional quality testing to examine all operating modes and to guarantee
compliance with the specied technical data. The
testing is performed with testing equipment that is calibrated to national standards. The statutory warrant y provisions shal l be governed by the laws of the country i n which the product w as purchased. In case of any complaints, please contact your supplier.
The product may only be opened by
authorized and qualied personnel.
Prior to working on the product or before the product is opened, it must be disconnected from the AC supply
network. Other wise, personnel will
be exposed to the risk of an elec tric
shock.
Any adjustments, replacements of parts, main­tenance and repair may be carried out only by authorized technical personnel . Only original parts may be used for replacing par ts relevant to safet y (e.g. po wer switche s, power tr ansformer s, fuses). A safet y test must alw ays be per formed af ter parts relevant to safety have been replaced (visual in­spection, PE conductor test, insulation resistance measurement, leakage current measurement, functional test). This helps ensure the continued safety of the product.

Setup of the BINs

Binning Interface HO118

Introduction
The binning inter face for the HM8118 allows the unit to operate with external hardware, which will physically sort components according to the measurement of the HM8118. Data lines for eight sor ting BINs are pr ovided, as well as control lines (ALARM, INDEX, EOM,TRIG).
Specication
Output signal:
Negative TRUE, open collector, opto-isolated, selectable pull-ups.
Measurement modes:
While the HM8118 is used for binning, the
number of measurement modes is limited to the necessary modes for characterizing com-
ponents. These modes can be selected: – R-Q: Resistance-Quality factor – C-D: Capacitance-Dissipation factor – L-Q: Inductance-Quality factor
Decision output:
– pass BINs:
BIN 0...5 for primar y parameter
– fail BINs:
BIN 6 for secondary parameter
BIN 7 for general failure BIN
– Maximum current is 15 mA for output
voltage of 1 V.

compared to each others. The binning feature is
an automatic process which simplies the sorting
eliminating the need to compare m anually the pa-
ramet er s . A maximu m of 9 bi n ning con  g ur ations
can be set using the store/recall feature. Binning co ngu r atio ns can al so be op erate d usi ng the re ­mote inter face. The HM 8118 can sort components into as many as 8 separate BINs: six pass BINs, a secondary parameter BIN and a general failure BIN. At any given time only one BIN is activated.
The following table shows details for each BIN.

the measured v alue is within
the user dened limit of the
BIN. Sorting star ts with BIN
0. If the value is outside the limits of BIN 0 the sorting is performed with the limits of BIN 1. This sequential pro­cess r epeats, until the limits of BIN #5 ar e exceeded. If the value isn´t within the limits of any enabled BINs the ge­nera l failure BIN is ac tivated.
This BIN is used, if the pri­mary value would be inside the BIN 0...5 range and only the secondary parameter exceeds the limit of BIN 6
This BIN output is activated when the sor ting doesn‘t fall
into any of the 7 rst BINs.
