Connecting the Cables
Connecting a resistor
Applicable modules: U8551, LR8531
You will need: a at-head screwdriver (with a tip width of 2.6 mm) and an input cable (for resistance
measurement)
Recommended wire diameter
Single-wire Diameter of 0.32 mm to 1.29 mm (AWG 26 to 16)
Stranded wire 0.2 mm
2
to 0.52 mm
2
(AWG 24 to 20)
Standard stripping length 9 mm
1
Open the terminal block cover.
2
Press down on the terminal button with the at-head screwdriver.
3
Insert the cable into the terminal hole while depressing the button.
Connect the resistor using a 4-wire setup (the instrument cannot measure 2- or 3-wire setups).
One side of the resistor: Insert the wires into the positive terminal (red) and the SoH terminal (red).
Other side of the resistor: Insert the wires into the negative terminal (black) and the SoL terminal
(black).
4
Remove the at-head screwdriver from the button.
The cable will be locked in place. Pull gently on the cable and verify that it does not come out.
5
Close the terminal block cover.
