The resistance values indicate the guideline, which are not strictly dened. The detected value of
SOURCE-H changes based on the voltage of the measuring object.
Impedance measurement error due to voltage drift (Indication: VOLTAGE DRIFT)
The voltage of the measuring object considerably uctuates during the measurement.
When the difference between voltage values at the start and at the end of measurement is 10 mV
or more, the difference is detected as an error.
Return cable unconnected error (Indication: RETURN CABLE ERROR)
The probe’s return cable is not properly connected. It may be disconnected or the wire connection
may be wrong.
To reduce noise due to the electromagnetic induction, it needs the return cable where the current
ows opposed to the measurement current. The return cable has a structure that short-circuits
between the shield wire of the SOURCE-H and the shield wire of the SOURCE-L. (In the optional
probe, the return cable short-circuits between the shield wire of the SOURCE-H and the shield wire
of the SOURCE-L.)
