3. OPEARATING PRINCIPLE
The SM-8200 Series super megohmmeters consist of a constant voltage power supply and a high
sensitive current measuring section to be combined to compose a resistance measuring circuit.
The current measuring section is composed of a current detective resistor, low drift voltage
amplifier and an integrator-type A/D converter.
A measured resistance value is computation-processed by a CPU to display the result on a liquid
crystal display (LCD).
Fig. 3.1 shows a circuit composition of the SM-8200 Series.
