Mercury 1400 - Page 2

INTRODUCTION
The Model 1400 is a valuable service aid for in-circuit testing
of all types of capacitors, from the smallest ceramic types to
large electrolytics. The 1400 will check for open or shorted cap-
acitor 1s without the necessity of removing them from the circuit.
Capacity values are measured in-circuit on all popular electrolytic
capacitors.
An important feature of the electrolytic test, not found in other
instruments sold even at much higher prices, is the low test volt-
age that protects the low-voltage electrolytics used in transistor
radios. Many of these small electrolytic filters are rated as low
as 3 working volts D.C. The Mod el 1400 tests these and all
others with perfect accuracy with no ch ance of damage.
SPECIFICATIONS
Shorts Test - Effective in-circuit with shunt resistance as low as
6 ohms.
Open Test - Effective on all capacitors in-circuit down to capa-
citors as small as 7 mmfd.
Electrolytic Test - Values of electrolytic capacity found in-circuit
over the range of 2 Mfd. to 450 Mfd.
Indicator - EM84 ultra-modern bar indicator tube. Simple instruc-
tions printed right on the instrument panel for accurate interpreta-
tion of all test results.
Power Supply - Line isolated with special low voltage for elec-
trolytic test.
Case - Smart- modern styling in Mercury's exclusive metal case
design. Compartment for coaxial cable and cheater line cord
ensures convenient, safe storage.
