PREPARATION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION
2.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Upon receipt, the R1M-A and accessories should be carefully unpacked and removed from the shipping container. Separate the units from the packing material and inspect both the instrument and the accessories for any external damage.
If any dents, broken, or loose parts are seen, do not use
the equipment. Notify the shipping company immediately and follow their instructions as to how to proceed.
Check that all items are present. If any items are missing,
notify the shipper if this is a new instrument. If not new, contact the previous user to locate the missing item(s).
2.2 Preparation for Use
Release the two latches which secure the lid and open the lid. Remove the power cord and the two test cables which are stored in the side compartment. If desired, the lid may then be removed by pushing it to the right. Set the TEST VOLTAGE rotary switch to the desired value, from 50 V to 500 V and set the OHMS RANGE switch to the anticipated range. Note that although the OHMS RANGE switch is marked from 1 M to 100 G, a 100% over-range capability is built into this instrument. Note also, that for resistance values less than 1 M, the only test voltage that should be used is 50 V. No damage will occur if a higher voltage is selected, but the readings may not be accurate. Do not measure resistors less than 50 k with the R1M-A; it may damage the instrument.
WARNING
SHORTING THE ‘TEST’ and ‘SIGNAL’ LEADS TOGETHER WILL
CAUSE INSTRUMENT DAMAGE.

PREPARATION FOR USE AND INSTALLATION
Power Up
Plug the power cord into a source of AC power (103.5 V to 129 V at 50 Hz or 60 Hz). Check that the other end is plugged securely into the power input receptacle on the front panel and turn on the POWER toggle switch.
Connections to DUT
One test cable has a double banana plug at one end and red and black insulated alligator clips at the other end. This is the shielded test cable. Connect the red alligator clip to one end of the resistor under test. Connect the black clip to the guard circuit, if any. If no guard is available, this clip may be left floating (it is connected to the cable shield and to the R1M-A guard circuit at the other end) however, this clip must not be allowed to make accidental contact with any part of the external circuit. Plug the dual-banana plug on this cable into the SIG and GUARD binding posts. Note that the pin marked GROUND should go into the GUARD binding post. If there is no guard available and the black alligator clip at the other end of the test cable is left floating, the operator may choose to orient the dual banana plug so that the GROUND pin is NOT plugged into the GUARD binding post. This will ensure that any accidental contact of the black alligator clip will cause no problem; however, the cable shield will then be floating and the signal may be excessively noisy. The other test cable has a shrouded banana plug on one end and an insulated alligator clip on the other end. This cable carries the high voltage output of the R1M-A to the resistor under test. Connect the alligator clip to the other end of the resistor under test; then plug the shrouded banana plug into the recessed (RED) TEST jack. Please refer to the connection diagram (figure 1) below.
The shorting link on the GROUND binding post may be swung around and connected to the GUARD binding post to ground the R1M-A circuitry. This may be done only if there is no external voltage with respect to ground on the measured resistor or guard.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The R1M-A is designed for bench-top or field operation. Use the cables connecting their banana plug terminations to the appropriate connectors explained in Section 2.2.
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH ANY ALIGATOR CLIP WHILE DEPRESSING THE TEST PUSHBUTTON. LETHAL VOLTAGES MAY BE PRESENT ON THESE CLIPS.
3.1 Rotary Switch Functions
The two rotary switches manually scroll through the six resistance and four voltage ranges. Full scale on any range may be described as 2,000 (actually 1,999), since this is a 3 ½ digit meter. If the readings are exceeding 1,999 counts, step to the next higher range. If the readings are less than 2,000 counts, step down a range, so that it will read 1,999 counts, or less. The decimal point is located automatically for the correct reading. If the selected range is too low for the value of the resistor under test, the display will show over-range by showing “1” on the display. Similarly, the under-range condition is displayed by showing negative readings on the display. -1” is displayed on the display until the test button is pressed. The POWER switch turns on the power to operate the unit or turns off the power to the unit. Note that when power is turned off, it may take several seconds to discharge circuit capacity to completely blank the display. The black markings seen have no effect and disappear when power is turned back on.
WARNING
TAKING RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS ON A POWERED OR ENERGIZED COMPONENT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO THE OPERATOR AND/OR DAMAGE THE R1M-A. BE SURE THE ITEM TO BE MEASURED IS DISCONNECTED FROM OTHER COMPONENTS AND APPARATUS.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.2 General Theory Of Operation
A 2-terminal measurement method is used to determine the resistance of the item under test. The R1M-A calculates the resistance of the item under test utilizing Ohm's law and displays it on a 3 ½ digit display.
To obtain the best accuracy, allow the R1M-A to warm up for 15 to 30 minutes before making measurements. In any case, a minimum warm-up of 30 seconds is advised.
Depress the TEST pushbutton, which switches on the high voltage. Note that the red LED will light, indicating that high voltage is present on the terminal. Allow for a brief settling time and read the resistance on the digital display. Note that the operating range of resistance values which may be read on any given range extends from 5% to 199.9% of the nominal value of the selected range. Note that readings greater than 100% will take more time. Thus, the 1 MΩ range may be used to measure resistors from 50 k to
1.999 M. Note that the test voltage must be 50 V for resistances less than 1 MΩ. If the resistance measured exceeds the maximum value for the selected range, the display will show blanks; in that case, set the range switch to a higher range. If the resistance measured is less than 5% of the nominal value of the selected range, the display will show a minus sign; if so, switch to a lower range, since the readings may be inaccurate.
If readings are noisy, especially at very high values of resistance, it may be caused by 60 Hz coupled to the test resistance from the power line. Note that at 100 G, an extremely small capacitance will couple many volts into the test resistance from a power line. If so, it may be necessary to interpose a grounded shield plate or to put the unknown resistor into a metal box, connected to the GUARD alligator clip.
To close up the R1M-A, first reattach the lid to the main case, if it has been removed. Then store the power cord and
test cables in the side compartment.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
SECTION 4
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The power supply uses a transformer with two secondary windings. The low-voltage winding is a center-tapped winding. Diodes D9 and D12 provide rectified + power filtered by C26 and regulated at +6 V by D7. Diodes D10 and D11 provide rectified - power, filtered by C25 and regulated at -6 V by D8. The high-voltage winding on T-1 charges C23 through D7 and C24 through D8. Since these two capacitors are connected in series, this circuit functions as a voltage doubler to provide a high voltage nearly equal to twice the peak voltage of the high voltage winding. This high voltage is at least 650 V at low line in order to provide 500 V test voltage with 1 IDA of I x R drop across R37.
R37, a series resistor, is followed by Q1, a high-voltage shunt regulator, to regulate the high voltage supply at the selected value. R38 provides protection for Q1 from excess current caused by external voltages. R6-R9 operate as a four-section voltage divider, dividing the voltage from U2, a
2.5 V precision voltage reference, to 0.25, 0.5; 1.25, and 2.5 V. The voltage selected by S1 A, the ‘TEST VOLTAGE selection switch, is fed into pin 9 of U1, a quad operational amplifier. The high voltage output is divided by R3 and R4 to 1/200 of the high voltage output. This divided voltage is fed to pin 10 of U1, where it is compared with the selected reference voltage. If the divided output is higher than the reference, the output (pin 8) of U1 goes more positive, increasing the base current drive to Q1. Since this is a shunt regulator, the output high voltage decreases, until an equilibrium point is reached. Thus, the high voltage is regulated at the selected value.
When a resistor is not being tested, S3 (the TEST switch) is closed, shorting out the high voltage. This also provides added safety in the event that the external circuit under test contains capacitors. If so, they will be charged during TEST, but discharged automatically as soon as S3 is released.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
When the TEST switch S3 is pressed, the high voltage is no longer shorted out and it will be outputted at the TEST jack. Current will then flow through the resistor under test to the SIG binding post and then to the wiper of S2A, the OHMS RANGE selector switch. This current then passes through the selected resistor, R16 through R21. The IR drop generated shows up as a negative voltage at the output, pin 6, of U3. U3 is an extremely low bias current amplifier, so that less than 1 pA is diverted into its input. Also, the protection diodes, Q5 and Q6, are low leakage transistors. Thus, even currents as low as 1 nA, generated by a 100 V test voltage and a 100 G resistor, are passed with essentially no loss.
NOTE: D5 and D6 on the display board parts layout (Figure
8) correspond to Q5 and Q6 on the display board schematic (Figure 7a). This is due to the fact that transistors are being used as diodes. NOTE: The action of D3 is to create a virtual ground at the input (pin 2) and at the SIG binding post. This has the advantage that the full value of the test voltage is developed across the resistor under test, with no error caused by the current monitoring resistor, R16 through R21. A second advantage is that the power common may then be used as a guard voltage because it is essentially at the same potential as the SIG binding post.
The signal current through the resistor under test increases with increasing test voltage. Thus, the IR drop at the output of U3 varies with the test voltage. The signal current with 50 V test voltage and a 1 MΩ test resistor is 50 µA. With S2A set to the 1 MΩ range, this current flows through R21, 499 . Thus, the voltage at the output of U3 is 25 mV. For higher resistance ranges, S2A selects higher values of resistance, R20 (4.99 k), R19 (49.9 kΩ), etc. to compensate for decreasing values of signal current. Thus, the output of U3 remains at 25 mV for full-scale test resistors for all ranges, with 50 V test voltage.
However, if the test voltage is increased, the signal current and the voltage output of U3 will increase. To compensate for this, the amplifier section of U1 having pins 1, 2, and 3

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
changes gain with the test voltage. With 50 V, its gain is set by S1B and R22 at 4.23x so the output at pin 1 is 106 mV. With 500 V, the gain is decreased to 0.423x so the output remains at 106 mV, even though the increased test voltage increases the signal current by ten times.
As indicated above, the output at pin 1 of U1 is 106 mV for full-scale resistor values of any range and with any test voltage. For smaller resistors, this voltage increases. At 5% of full scale, this voltage is approximately 2.12 V, approaching its upper limit. If the value of resistance under test is less than 5% of the selected range, the voltage at pin 1 of U1 will exceed 2.12 V. This voltage is connected to pin 5 of U1, where it is compared with the 2.5 V reference from U2. If the voltage exceeds 2.5 V, the output at pin 7 of U1 goes positive, increasing the base current to the shunt regulator Q1 and reducing the output high voltage. When this happens, the normal regulating section of U1, with output pin 8 (which is normally somewhat positive to control Q1) turns off and pin 8 goes full negative, trying to increase the value of the high voltage. This negative voltage is coupled to the input pin of the A/D IC, U4, via diode D4. Thus, the display will show a minus sign to indicate that the resistor is too small for the selected range and a smaller range should be selected.
U4 is a 3 ½ digit A/D converter and LCD driver, functioning as a digital voltmeter. However, since the test current and voltage are inversely proportional to the test resistance, the digital voltmeter is operated as a ratio meter, with a fixed DC voltage as the normal input to pin 31, and the test voltage signal connected to the normal reference input, pin 36.
U5 is a 3 ½ digit liquid crystal display, driven segment by segment by U4. S2B provides the proper logic levels to the quad exclusive-or gate U6 to locate the decimal point on the display. R33, 34 and 35 are pull-down resistors.

5.4 Performance Verification
WARNING
DO NOT TOUCH ANY ALLIGATOR CLIP WHILE THE TEST PUSHBOTTUN IS PRESSED. LETHAL VOLTAGES MAY BE PRESENT ON THESE CLIPS.
1. Check the test voltages. Connect a DVM with at least 1
MΩ resistance between the TEST (high) jack and the SIG (low) binding post. Note that the OHMS RANGE switch must be on the 1 MΩ range, or the short circuit protection circuit may start to shut down the high voltage power supply. Check that the voltages are as selected by the TEST VOLTAGE selector switch within ± 3%. If not, there is no adjustment other than to check the various components in the high voltage regulator circuit and to replace any found to be defective.
2. Check that the light-emitting diode circuit is operating
correctly. It should light when the TEST pushbutton is depressed (provided that the resistor under test is within the selected resistance range) (Power must be ON).
3. Check the accuracy of the resistance indication by
measuring resistors of known accuracy. Resistors required are 50 k, 1 MΩ, 10 MΩ, 100 MΩ, 1 GΩ, 10 GΩ, and 100 GΩ. Check each range with a resistor of the indicated value of that range and also with a resistor of 10% of that value, with the exception of the 1 MΩ range, which should be checked with a 50 k resistor. Check first with 50 V and then with 500 V (but DO NOT CHECK THE 50 k AT 500 V). All readings must be within 5% of the actual value. If not, adjust the trimpots as described below.

5.6 Troubleshooting
Disassembly
After removing the unit from the cabinet, it may be disassembled as follows:
Remove the two knobs on the rotary switches. Remove the four small screws holding the power
supply board to the threaded spacers.
Remove the four front panel screws that pass through
the front panel, metal tubular spacers, nylon washers, the display board, into the threaded spacers.
The two boards may now be separated for service.
Re-assembly
After trouble-shooting and repair, re-assemble in reverse order from above.
Following are possible symptoms, diagnosis, and repair suggestions for use in trouble-shooting (the most likely causes are listed first). Note that the TEST button must be held in for most of these tests; do not try to bypass it because it is a safety feature, shorting the high voltage supply.
Note that even with the TEST button released; high voltage still exists between the transformer secondary and R37.

The original shipping carton is not reusable.
The two test cables and line cord should be stored in the side compartment and the lid closed and latched.
The Model R1M-AR is a rugged instrument and requires no special covering, preservation or special cradles. Packaging must provide sufficient resilient material, in accordance with standard packaging practices, to prevent excessive shock to the power supply and display during shipment.

The R1M-A is an all solid-state unit and requires no periodic overhaul, other than routine cleaning, inspection of cables per section 5, and calibration per section 5.5.

SERVICE INFORMATION
Preparation for Calibration or Repair Service
Once you have verified that the cause for R1M-A malfunction cannot be solved in the field and the need for repair and calibration service arises, contact TEGAM customer service to obtain an RMA, (Returned Material Authorization), number. You can contact TEGAM customer service via the TEGAM website, www.tegam.com or by calling 440.466.6100 (All Locations) OR 800.666.1010 (United States Only).
The RMA number is unique to your instrument and will help us identify you instrument and to address the particular service request by you which is assigned to that RMA number.
Of even importance, a detailed written description of the problem should be attached to the instrument. Many times repair turnaround is unnecessarily delayed due to a lack of repair instructions or of a detailed description of the problem.
This description should include information such as measurement range, and other instrument settings, type of components being tested, are the symptoms intermittent?, conditions that may cause the symptoms, has anything changed since the last time the instrument was used?, etc. Any detailed information provided to our technicians will assist them in identifying and correcting the problem in the quickest possible manner. Use a copy of the Repair and Calibration Service form provided on the next page.
Once this information is prepared and sent with the instrument to our service department, we will do our part in making sure that you receive the best possible customer service and turnaround time possible.
