resulting from use of the instrument in contradiction to
these cautionary notes.
■ The following safety symbols are used on the instrument and in the manual:
Danger! Handle with Care. This symbol indicates that the operator must refer to an explanation in the User’s Manual or Service Manual in order to avoid risk of injury or loss of life of personnel or damage to the instrument.
Indicates a hazard that may result in the loss of life or serious injury of the user unless the described instruction is abided by.

■ Since mishandling the instrument can result in
WARNING
WARNING
an accident that may lead to injury or death of the operator, such as an electric shock, be sure to observe the following instructions.
● Measurement
• Always maintain the instrument within the limits for allowable current, voltage and power, during operation.
If there is more than one limit for any of these parameters,
the lowest limit takes precedence.
• Only operate the instrument on an input-to-ground supply voltage of no greater than 250 V.
• The terminals and internal circuitry may become electrified to high voltages and extremely hot depending on the instrument’s condition of use.
Do not touch these parts.
● Grounding
• To avoid electric shock, be sure to apply protective grounding to the grounding terminal.
● Protective Measure
• If a crack appears in the instrument after it has been accidentally dropped or bumped, the safety-purpose insulation may be damaged.
By all means do not use the instrument,
but ask the manufacturer for repair.
● Operating Environment
• Do not operate the instrument in a flammable or explosive gas atmosphere.
• Do not operate the instrument if there is any condensation on it.
● Do Not Remove the Casing or Disassemble
• Only Yokogawa service personnel are authorized to remove the casing or disassemble or modify the instrument.
Do not attempt to repair the instrument yourself,
as doing so is extremely dangerous.
(If you are rack-mounting the instrument,
use it correctly according to the handling procedure.)

1. GENERAL

1.1 Description

The 2786 Decade Resistance Boxes are stable variable resistors with 6 dials which can be set accurately and quickly. They are used at DC/low frequencies. These resistance boxes can be used in combination with voltage or current generators for adjusting voltage or current. They can also be used as dummy load resistances or in an arm of an AC bridge, and are indispensable for various experiments and studies and as testing facilities for production lines. Two types are available as follows.

1.2 Features

(1) Low Temperature coefficient, little resistance
shift due to aging
These resistance elements have temperature coefficient of less than ±10 ppm/°C and excellent long-term stability.
(2) Small Residual Resistance
Errors due to switch contact resistance, wiring resistance and the fluctuation of contact resistance due to dial position, are extremely small. Yokogawa’s Decade Resistance Boxes are the product of years of experience.
(3) Metal Case
Resistance elements are accommodated in a metal case to minimize the effect of external influences electrical and magnetic fields, short term temperature variations, physical damage or contamination.
(4) Compact and light weight
These instruments are compact, lightweight and portable.
(5) Rack-mounted type
The 2786 can be rack-mounted, if the case is removed.

3. OPERATION

(1) Addition of the values indicated on the dials gives
the resistance between the terminals.
That is, to obtain a resistance of 12345.6 Ω with
the 278610, ×10 kΩ, ×1 kΩ, ×100 Ω, ×10 Ω,
×1 Ω, and ×0.1 Ω dials should be set to
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 respectively.
(2) The percentage error and maximum permissible input
current for each resistance element-corresponding to
a power dissipation of 0.3 W are shown in Table 3.1.
The percentage error is also shown on the instrument
front panel.
Be careful not to exceed the maximum permissible
input current or voltage ratings, or the resistance
elements may shift in value.
When two or more dials are used simultaneously,
the allowable maximum current is that of
the higher resistance value dial.
(3) Of the two resistance terminals, the one which is closer
to the earth terminal
Consequently, when the instrument is used for
an unbalanced circuit, this terminal should be connected
to lower potential side of the circuit.

(4) Dielectric strength between instrument terminals and
case: withstands1500 VAC for one minute, and
insulation resistance between instrument terminals and
case is more than 500 MΩ at 500 VDC.
However these conditions depend on ambient
temperature and humidity.
Observe maximum rated voltage.

(5) As enclosed type dial switches are employed in
the instrument, switch contacts resistance is stable
even in dusty areas or where corrosive gases, etc.
However, when the instrument has not been used for
sometimes, turn the dials several times before use.
(6) If electrical or mechanical shocks appear to have
damaged the instrument, check, its resistance.
The 2768 Precision Wheatstone Bridge is suitable.
(7) The 2786 can be rack-mounted.
When rack-mounted, the case is removed,
so place a simple cover to protect components,
such as resistance elements and switches.

4. MAINTENANCE

To insure accurate measurement it is essential to maintain the instrument in good condition. Therefore, avoid the following environments:
• Where humidity is high.
• Where the instrument is exposed to direct sunlight,
or high temperature.
• Where the instrument is next to a heat source.
• Where the instrument will be subjected to severe
vibration.
• Where the atmosphere is salty, contains corrosive
gas, dust or dirt.
Calibration
Recommended calibration period: 1 year Periodic calibration is recommended to maintain the accuracy of the instrument.
