Measuring Multiple Targets
Appx.6 Measuring Multiple Targets
To measure multiple targets with a single instrument, you will need to provide an external switching
relay. Please note the following important considerations when designing the switching device:
Relayselection
(1) Choosearelaywithlowthermalelectromotiveforce.
Thermal electromotive force increases in the following order:
Latching < OptoMOS relays < Single-stable (high sensitivity) relays < Single-stable relays
(2) Choosearelaythatdeliversstablecontactperformanceevenunderminusculeload.
Power relays experience poor contact under conditions of minuscule load. Be sure to use a relay
designed for use with low signals or an OptoMOS relay.
(3) Choosearelaywhosecontactshavearatedvoltagethatisatleast200%greaterthanthe
switching voltage.
A relay with a rated voltage of 110 V will support a switching voltage of 55 V or less.
(4)
WhenusinganOptoMOSrelay,choosearelaywithasmalloutputpincapacitance.
When the capacitance, calculated by multiplying the output pin capacitance by the number of
contacts, increases, the contact check function will generate a result of “connected” even when all
contacts are open.
(5) Whentheinstrument’sinputresistanceissetto10M
Ω
,measuredvaluesmaydecreasedueto
the effects of contact resistance.
Example: An error of 1 ppm will occur if the contact resistance is 10
Ω
and the input resistance is
10 M
Ω
.
(6) Examplesofappropriaterelays
Panasonic ATXS20620: High sensitivity, 4.5 V single-stable, suitable for use with minuscule loads
Panasonic AT26620: 4.5 V latching, suitable for use with minuscule loads
Panasonic AQW216: OptoMOS relay, max. 120
Ω
on-resistance, 50 pF output pin capacitance
