INTRODUCTION

Product Overview

  • The 1433 Decade Resistors are a family of instruments providing a very broad choice of high-performance resistance sources. Any number of decades from one to eleven is available.
  • The 1433 is a precision resistance source with excellent characteristics of stability, temperature coefficient, power coefficient, and frequency response.
  • There are over 30 models available covering a wide resistance range from 1 mW to over 111 MW. The 1433 Series employs stable, very-low-resistance switches with silver-alloy contacts. A special design keeps zero-resistance to less than 1 mW per decade. Self-cleaning keeps the silver contacts from becoming tarnished when unused, or when only low currents are passed through them. This is most often the case when only minute test currents are drawn by digital multimeters or other test instruments. Contact resistance is stable and remains low and repeatable.
  • The dials, marked “0” to “10”, off er smooth rotation from position to position with no stops. Each dial has an overlap “10” position for maximum convenience and fl exibility in setting and adjusting resistance values. The resistance per step and maximum cur-rent of each dial are clearly shown on the front panel. Electrical shielding is provided by an attractive aluminum cabinet and front panel. The resistance elements have no electrical connection to the cabinet and panel; a separate shield terminal is provided.
  • High-quality gold-plated, tellurium-copper binding posts serve to minimize the thermal emf effects which can introduce errors into dc resistance measurements. All other conductors within the instrument, as well as the solder employed, contain no metals or junctions that contribute to thermal emf problems.
  • With a minimum resistance as low as 1 mW and a maximum available resistance of over 111 MW, the 1433 series may be used for exacting precision measurement applications requiring high accuracy, good stability, and low zero-resistance. They can be used as components of dc and ac bridges, for calibration, as transfer standards, and as RTD simulators.
  • The 1433 Series may be rack-mounted to serve as components in measurement and control systems.
  • This series is part of a family of resistance substituters suitable for filling many engineering and testing needs. Consult IET for:
  • HPRS High-power substituters – up to >400 W HRRS High-resistance substituters – to 1 TW RTD simulators
  • HARS-LX Laboratory-standard-grade substituters – to 1 ppm accuracy
  • PRS Programmable substituters – IEEE-488 or BCD; SCPI protocol.IET-GenRad-1433-Decade-Resistor-fig-10

WARNING

Observe all safety rules when working with high voltages or line voltages. Connect the (G) terminal to earth ground in order to maintain the case at a safe voltage. Whenever hazardous voltages (>45 V) are used, take all measures to avoid accidental contact with any live components: a) Use maximum insulation and minimize the use of bare conductors. b) Remove power when adjusting switches. c) Post warning signs and keep personnel safely away.

OPERATION

Initial Inspection and Setup

  • This instrument was carefully inspected before shipment.
  • It should be in proper electrical and mechanical order upon receipt.
  • An OPERATING GUIDE is attached to the case of the instrument to provide ready reference to specifications.
Connection

General Considerations

  • The 1433 Series Decade unit provides three terminals labeled H (high), L (low), and G (ground). The H and L terminals are connected to the set resistance; the G terminal is connected to the case. The G terminal may be used as a guard or shield terminal. It may also be connected (using a shorting link) to the L terminal to allow two-terminal as opposed to three-terminal measurements.
  • In order to make the most stable measurements, determine which is the more sensitive of the two user leads, i.e. the one going into a higher impedance. This lead should be connected to the more protected of the two terminals: H (high) or L (low). That would either be the terminal that is shorted to the case, or the L terminal if neither is connected to the G (case).
  • If switches have not been operated for an extended period, they should be rotated a few times to assure that contact resistance is within specifications.

Electrical Considerations

  • In order to make proper use of the full performance capabilities of the 1433 unit, especially if low resistance or low-resistance increments are important, take care when connecting to the terminals. In particular, in order to keep contact resistance to a minimum, make the most substantial and secure connection to the binding posts. They accept banana plugs, telephone tips, spade lugs, alligator clips, and bare wire.
  • The largest or heaviest mating connection should be made, and, where applicable, the binding posts should be securely tightened.
  • These considerations may be relaxed whenever single milliohms are considered insignificant for the task being performed.

Four-Wire Kelvin-Lead Connections

  • Whenever possible, 4-wire Kelvin leads (the best connection) should be employed. Such a connection minimizes the effects of contact resistance and approaches ideal performance.
  • If the four terminals are available as clamps similar to alligator clips, they may be connected to the necks of the binding posts on a 3-terminal unit. If the four wire connections are available separately, the optimal connections are shown in Figure 3-1 and Figure3-2.IET-GenRad-1433-Decade-Resistor-fig-11 IET-GenRad-1433-Decade-Resistor-fig-12

Thermal emf Considerations

  • The highest-quality low-emf components are used in the 1433 Series. There nevertheless may be some minute thermal emf generated at the test leads where they contact the gold-plated binding posts.
  • This emf will not manifest itself if an ac measurement instrument is employed. It will also be eliminated if a meter with a “True Ohm” capability is used.
  • Otherwise it may appear as a false component of the dc resistance measurement. It is possible to eliminate this component of the reading error by taking a second measurement with the leads reversed and averaging the readings.

Dial Setting

  • Whenever the dials are used in positions 0-9, the resulting resistance is read directly. The decimal point and the steps are clearly marked on the panel.
  • For additional flexibility and range, each decade provides a “10” position setting. This “10” position on any one decade equals the “1” position on the next higher decade. It adds about 11% to the nominal total decade resistance.
  • To determine the resistance obtained when one or more “10” settings are used, simply add “1” to the next higher decade. For example, a setting of 3-6- 10-0-10 Ω becomes:IET-GenRad-1433-Decade-Resistor-fig-15

MAINTANENCE

Preventative Maintenance

  • Keep the unit in a clean environment. This will help prevent possible contamination.
  • The 1433 is packaged in a closed case, which limits the entry of contaminants and dust to the inside of the instrument. If it is maintained in a clean or air-conditioned environment, cleaning will seldom be required. In a contaminated atmosphere, cleaning may be required.

Should cleaning be needed, do the following:

  1. Remove the 4 screws from the sides of the housing, and remove the housing.
  2. Remove any dust or debris using optical grade dry compressed air or a clean brush.
  3. Should switch contact cleaning or lubrication be required, as may be indicated by an increase in the zero resistance, this may be done by applying a drop of a conditioning compound such as Deoxit from Caig Laboratories, or Super Lube with PTFE from Synco Chemical Corp on the switch contacts.
  4. Replace the housing and reinstall the 4 housing screws.

The front panel should be periodically cleaned to eliminate any leakage paths around the binding posts. To do this wipe the front panel clean using alcohol and a lint-free cloth.

Calibration Interval

  • The recommended calibration interval for 1433 Series decade substituters is twelve (12) months. The calibration procedure may be carried out by the user if a calibration capability is available, by IET Labs, or by a certified calibration laboratory. If the user should choose to perform this procedure, then the considerations below should be observed.

General Considerations

  • It is important, whenever testing the 1433 Series Decade Units, to be very aware of the capabilities and limitations of the test instruments used. A resistance bridge may be employed, and there are direct-reading resistance meters or digital multimeters available that can verify the accuracy of these units, especially when used in conjunction with standards that can serve to confirm or improve the accuracy of the testing instrument
  • Such test instruments must be significantly more accurate than ±(l00 ppm+2 mW) for all applicable ranges, allowing for a band of uncertainty of the instrument itself. A number of commercial bridges and meters exist that can perform this task; consult IET Labs.
  • It is important to allow both the testing instrument and the 1433 to stabilize for a number of hours at the nominal operating temperature of 23°C, and at nominal laboratory conditions of humidity <80% RH. There should be no temperature gradients across the unit under test.
  • Substantial Kelvin-type 4-wire test terminals should be used to obtain accurate low-resistance readings. It is convenient, once the zero resistance has been determined, to subtract it from the remaining measurements. This can be automatically done in many instruments which have an off set subtraction capability.

Calibration Procedure

  1. Employ proper metrological practices.
    • Allow a confidence band for the uncertainty of the measuring instrument and setup.
  2. Confirm the zero resistance of the unit.
  3. Determine the allowable upper and lower limits for each resistance setting of each de-cade based on the specifi ed accuracy. For the 1433 series, these limits for any resistance “R” are [R±(0.0001 R + 2 mΩ)].
  4. Confirm that the resistances fall within these limits after subtraction of the zero resistance.
  5. If any resistances fall outside these limits, the associated switch assembly may require trimming or replacement.
