The PAS-853B is a constant voltage wide range ohmmeter designed specifically for ESD Plant Auditors who must make many measurements quickly while supporting ANSI/ESD S20.20 Program Standard and periodic verification requirements.

The PAS-853B performs in accordance with standard resistance measurement practices outlined in ANSI/ESD 541 Packaging and meets all audit requirements of ESD TR53.

Variable & Constant Test Voltages in Auto Mode:

  • <10 Volts Variable from 0.01 to 9.9x103 ohms
  • 10 Volts (±<5% Constant Voltage) from 1.0x104 to 9.99x105 ohms
  • 100 Volts (±<2% Constant Voltage) from 1.0x106 to 9.99x1012 ohms

Technical Specifications

CONTROLS

ON/OFF Battery Bus Cut-off
Slide Switch ON SIDE OF CASE

ON: Energizes instrument and LCD displays Software Version then GO A with AUTO indication (Default)

OFF: Isolates battery and DC voltage from instrument controls and circuit. Use for transport and storage

TEST Pad
With Test Leads installed: Press once & Release.
Measurements performed automatically


In conjunction with MODE changes from Auto operation to Continuous

MODE Pad
Steps through Auto/Voltage ranges with each press of MODE Pad:

  • AUTO: Default automatic resistance range & Voltage control
  • <10V: Manual Operation 0.01 to =10V Test Voltage;
    • Resistance Range: 0.01E-1 to 9.99E9 Ω
  • 10V: Manual Operation at 10V (Nominal, Semi-Constant)
    • Resistance Range: 0.98E4 to 9.99E10 Ω
  • 100V: Manual Operation at 100V (±<5V) Constant Voltage
    • Resistance Range: 0.98E6 to 9.99E12 Ω

When data in HOLD, press MODE to terminate HOLD without changing operational mode

Press MODE with TEST to change from Auto to Continuous

Used to measure lead resistance (NULL)

Used by Prostat Authorized Technicians for Voltage Calibration
CONNECTIONS

Positive (+): Test Voltage (RED) – Supplies test voltage to electrodes/fixtures

Negative (-): Current sensing (BLACK) – Conducts current from electrode, fixtures or Ground to instrument

Chassis: Shielding connection to chassis (WHITE) – Reduces transmitted energy and effect on current measurement

Note: ¾ inch spacing between RED and BLACK accommodates dual banana BNC adapters
INDICATION

Colored LED’s indicate instrument operational MODE and Test Voltage (YELLOW) used for the current measurement, as well as measurement completion (GREEN LED).

AUTO: ON during automatic operations; OFF in Manual mode

TYPICAL TOLERANCES

1Nominal performance by range:

0.01E- 1 – 1.0E 0 Ω <±10%, ±2 Counts
1.0E 0 – 9.99E10 Ω <±2%, ±2 Counts
1.0E11 – 9.99E12 Ω <± 10%, ±4 Counts
TEST VOLTAGES

Automatically selected and controlled in AUTO mode. May be manually selected by pressing MODE pad in the following order:

<10V Variable based on resistance load:

  • Provides 0.001 to =10V
  • Functional in AUTO within range 0.01 O - <1.0E+4 Ω
  • Manual Operation Resistance Range: 0.01E-1 to 9.99E+9 Ω

10V Constant Voltage (Under Load):

  • Test Voltage Varies ± <5% in AUTO or Manual Operations
  • Functional in AUTO within range 1.0E+4 Ω - <1.0E+6 Ω
  • Manual Operation Resistance Range: 0.9E+4 to 9.99E+10 Ω

100V Constant Voltage (Under Load):

  • Test Voltage Varies ± <2% in AUTO or Manual Operations
  • Functional in AUTO within range 1.0E+6 Ω - <1.0E+13 Ω
  • Manual Operation Resistance Range: 0.90E6 to 9.99E12 Ω
MODES OF OPERATIONS

GO A: Performs all automatic and manual voltage select functions, stops and displays measurements after Electrification Period (EP) is complete, then displays data with Green LED ON for 10 seconds.

GO C: Performs all automatic and manual voltage select functions, continuously displays measurements until the operator presses MODE or TEST pads. GO C disables electrification period controls.
