MODELS 6108, 610BR ELECTROMFPERS GENERAL DESCRIPTION

SECTION1. GENERALDESCRIPTION

l-l. GENERAL.

a. The Keithley Model 610B Electrometer is a versatile instrument which

measures wide ranges of dc voltages, currente, resistances and charges. It

is a highly improved form of conventional dc vecuum tube voltmeters that

ueee an electrometer tube input to provide greeter than lo14 ohm Fnput re-

sistance. T’he Model 6lOB has all the capabilities of conventional VTVMe,

but it ten also make many more measurements without loading circuits.

b. The Electrometer has 11 voltage ranges from 0.001 volt full scale to

100 volts, 28 ~urm-ie: ranges from Lo-14 ampere full scale to 0.3 ampere,

25 linear resistance ranges from 100 ohms full scale to 1014 ohms, and 15

couLomb ranges from LO-12 coulomb full scale to LO-5 coulomb.

c. The Model 6LOB input stage uses a matched pair of electrometer tubes.

The output stage uses a vacuum tube; othewiee.solid-state devices are

used for all amplifier stages and the power supply. This increases re-

liability end stability and aLlows

greater

regulation of the power supply.

l-2. FEATURES.

a. Voltmeter accuracy is Cl% of full scale, exclusive of noise and drift.

b. Zero drift of the Model 6108 is 200 microvolts per hour maxirmun averaged

over any 24-hour period after warm-up. During the 2-hour warm-up, zero drift

is no more then 2 millivolts after the first hour.

c. Two amplifier outputs are available. A switch on the rear panel allows

either 23 volts or 21 milliampere for full-scale meter deflection. The current

output is variable 25% with 1.4-kilohm recorders. The unity-gain amplifier

output is equal to the input voltage within 50 ppm or 100 microvolts, exclusive

of zero drift.

d. Current measurements can be made by one of two methods, the normal method

in which the current is determined by measuring the voltage drop across a re-

sistor shunting the input, or the fast method in which negative feedback is

appliedthrough the shunt resistor. The latter method reduces ehe input drop

end greatly increases the response speed on the low-current ranges.

1-3. DIFFERENCES BETWEENTHE MODELS 610B AND 610BR.

a. The Model 610BR

the rack

version

of the cabinet configuration,

Model 610B. The circuits, specifications, electrical parts end operating

procedures for the two models are the same. Besides the outside dimensions,

the main difference between them is the Model 6LOBR’s COARSE ZERO Control

is on the front panel, not on the rear panel.

b. The instructions in the Manual are for both models, although only the

Model 610B is mentioned. Any differences are identified for the correct model.

l-5. APPLICATIONS.

a. Voltmeter applications include directly measuring potentials of vacuum tube plates

and grids, pH electrodes, piezo-electric crystals, capacitors and electrochemical cells,

and the gate potentials of field effect transistors. With the Model 2501 or 2503 Static

Detector Probe, the Model 610B can measure electrostatic voltages.

b. As a picoammeter, the Electrometer can measure mass spectrograph currents. It can

be used with photo multiplier tubes, flame and beta ray and lithium ion-drift detectors.

Other uses are in gas chromatograph work, nuclear studies, plasma physic studies and

vacuum studies. Also, it can be used as a current null detector with an accurate current

reference source.

c. As an ohmeter, its uses include measuring diode characteristics, insulation resis-

tance, and resistor voitage coefficients. With the Model 6105 Resistivity Adapter and a

power supply, the Node1 610B can measure volume and surface resistivities.

d. In addition to measuring charge directly, other coulombmeter uses are measuring charge

current over a period and obtaining integral curves of time-varying currents. The Model

6108 can measure the total energy output from a pulsed laser on its coulomb ranges when

used with a calibrated photo tube or photo diode. It also can be used as a charge ampli-

fier to measure pieza-electric crystal outputs.

SECTION2. OPERATION

2-1. FRONT PANEL CONTROLS AND TERMINALS (See Figures 3 and 4)

a. Range Switch. The Range Switch selects the measuring mode and the

range. It is divided fnto a VOLTS position, 11 AMPERES ranges, eight OHMS

ranges and four COULOMBS ranges. The range used is indicated by an X above

the dial skirt.

b. Multiplier Switch. The Multiplier Switch determines the voltage sen-

sitivity of the dc amplifier and sets the full-scale voltage range when the

Range Switch is set to VOLTS. The Multiplier Switch may also be used to

multiply the AMPERES (3x maxinolm setting above LO-3), OHMS and COULOMBS

ranges on the Range Switch.

c. METER Switch. The Switch has five positions: POWEROFF shuts off

the instrument. OFF disconnects only the meter during recorder operation.

The + and - positions determine the polarity of the meter. CENTER ZERO

sets the instrument for center zero operation (lower meter scale).

d. ZERO Controls. Two ZERO Controls are on the front panel: a MEDIUM

Switch (outer knob) and a lo-turn FINE potentiometer (center knob).

These

allow precise meter zeroing.

Circuit designations refer to Replaceable Parts List and the

schematic diagram.

OPERATION MODELS 6108, 610BR ELECTROMETERS

e. ZERO CHECK Button. Depressing the Button effectively removes all input

signal from the instrument by shunting the input and amplifier through 10

megohms. This allows meter zeroing on any range. The Button is locked in

the zero check position when the line is horizontal.

f. FEEDBACK Switch. The FAST and NORMAL positions of the Switch determine

the feedback connections within ehe instrument. Voltage measurements are

made only in NORMAL. With the Switch et FAST, current measurements are made

with lower input voltage drops and faster response speeds. The FAST position

is also used to make guarded resistance measurements, for couLomb measurements,

and to increase response speed.

!z. INPUT Receptacle. The INPUT Receptacle fs a Teflon-insulated uhf-type

connector. A dust cap is provided. The ground post is below the recep-

tacle.

2-2. RFAR PANEL CONTROLS AND TERMINALS (See Figure 5).

a. COARSE ZERO Switch (On front panel of Model 610BR). The COARSE ZERO

Stitch has 11 positions to extend the zeroing capability of the front panel

ZERC Controls.

b. Output Switch. The Switch fs a two-position slide switch for the output.

In the 1 MA position, the instrument will drive l-milliampere recorders. In

the 3 V position, the output is 3 voles for full-scale meter deflection.

Source resistance is 3 kllohms.

c. 1 MA CAL Control. The Control varies the output from 0.95 to 1.05 milli-

ampere for 14CO-ohm recorders , so the recorder scale will correspond with the

Electrometer panel meter.

d. OUTPUT Receptacle. A 2-terminal microphone-type receptacle provides

3 volts or 1 milliampere for full-scale meter deflection. Pin no. 2 is at

case ground potential if the FEEDBACK Switch is at NORMAL.

e. Xl OUTPUT and GUARD Terminals. The potential between the Xl OUTPUT

Terminal and the CUARD Terminal (case ground for the FEEDBACK Switch in NORMAL)

Fs eaual to the input voltage with 0.005% linearity or LOO microvolts. when

the FEEDBACK Switch is at FAST, the Xl OUTPUT Terminal is et case ground end

rhe,GUARD Terminal is floating.
