  Description

Various output options and autoranging make the IMF-600 an attractive choice for many impedance measurement and process requirements.

A perfect bench companion to your DMM, the IMF-600A is a cost effective manual or autoranging digital impedance meter that complements the basic DMM to complete your test and measurement needs. With its low resistance measurement capacity and Kelvin leads, the IMF-600A is invaluable for locating PC board shorts.

A number of attractive features make it a versatile device. A companion limits comparator, Model LC-603, allows selection for all functions, on a GO/NO GO basis for inspection, sorting, quality control, component selection, etc...

Automatic measurement for all functions is provided automatically with a 3½ digit display. No balancing or manual operations are required.

Analog & digital outputs may be used to interface to comparators or other devices.

4-Wire shielded Kelvin test terminals - short circuit location ensures precision measurements even for very low impedances like contact or wire resistance and makes locating PC board short circuits an easy task.

Principle of Operation

The impedance Zx of an unknown component X is defined as:

Zx=Vx /Ix

where Vx is the voltage across the unknown and Ix is the current through the unknown. The IMF-600A implements this computation as shown conceptually in the figure.

A sine wave generator drives current Ix through unknown Zx and the standard resistor Rs in series with it. Two ac coupled differential amplifiers measure the voltages Vx and Vr across the unknown and the resistor respectively. The impedance Zx is then computed as follows:

Zx=Vx /Ix

Zx=RsVx /Vs

Except for pure resistance and conductance, Zx is a complex ratio with real and imaginary components which are then computed. The voltage being measured, e.g. Vx is broken down into the "in phase or 0°" and the "quadrature or 90°" components with respect to the test signal. These are used to provide the real and imaginary portions of the complex impedance. A pure resistance, for example, will produce only an "in phase" component, whereas an ideal capacitor will result in only a "quadrature" signal.

NOTES
* HSC Option High sensitivity capacitance range option. 20 pF full scale; 0.01 pF resolution; 1.0 Vrms test signal; accuracy4 (±0.25% + 0.3 pF).
** HSL Option High sensitivity inductance range option. 20 µH full scale; 0.01 µH resolution; 100 mA test signal; accuracy4 ±(0.25% + 0.5 µH).
1. Capacitance: Higher capacitance (>200 µF) may be measured on the inductance function by the following conversion: Series model capacitance C=-2.533 x 10-8/L.
2. Resistance: Higher resistance (>2 MΩ) may be measured on the conductance function Range 1: R (in ohms) = 1/G (in siemens).
3. Dissipation (D or 1/Q): Obtain D values by pressing D button. Values greater than 1.999 may be computed as follows:
D= G/2πfc = 1.592 G'/C'
Q=2πfL/R = 0.628 L'/R'
where G', C', L', and R' are in counts on the same range.
4. Accuracy: After correction for test lead zero reading; 15°C - 35°C; C, L, G, or R readings are in absolute counts; ignore decimal point.
