DLRO®-10 & DLRO®-10X

Digital Low Resistance Ohmmeter

GSAFETY WARNINGS

nThese safety warnings must be read and understood before the instrument is used.

nWhenever possible, circuits should be de-energised before testing.

If it is impossible to de-energise the circuit, (e.g. high voltage batteries cannot be switched off while their connections are tested) the user

must be aware of the dangers. The instrument terminals will become live when connected to the circuit. Therefore when used on hazardous

voltages custom Megger DH6 test leads must be used.

nTesting inductive circuits can be hazardous:

After testing an inductive load there will be an amount of energy stored in the inductance. This energy is released in the form of a discharge

current. Disconnecting an inductive load while current is still flowing will cause a high voltage arc, which is a danger to both the user and the

item under test.

Although the DLRO 10 and DLRO 10X are not designed as transfromer ohmmeters the DLRO 10 is fitted with a DISCHARGE lamp, marked

‘I’, which indicates that current is flowing in the C1-C2 loop. This lamp will flash at end of a test on an inductive load while a discharge

current is still flowing and will stop flashing when the current has decayed to less than 1mA. DLRO 10X uses a message on the display to

achieve this.

For testing large inductive resistances the current carrying leads should be connected securely to the item under test before starting the test.

It is not recommended that duplex handspikes be used to carry out tests on inductive loads. If inadvertently using the DH4 handspikes on an

inductive load, the L1 lamp on the handspikes will flash amber while discharge current flows, thereby duplicating the function of the ‘I’ lamp

on the instrument. It is important to maintain contact until the L1 light stops flashing amber and turns green indicating the end of the test.

nThis product is not intrinsically safe. Do not use in an explosive atmosphere.

nPlease note. The neck strap is specifically designed to break if subjected to a strain of approximately 50 kg.

CONTENTS

The DUCTER DLRO 10 and DUCTER DLRO 10X make up a family of low resistance ohmmeters that measure resistances in the range from 0.1 µΩ to 2

kΩ. Both instruments provide a maximum test current of 10 Amps d.c. which is automatically selected according to the value of resistance being tested.

The DLRO 10X allows you to override this automatic selection and select your own test current.

The measured value of resistance is output to the instrument display with indication of the units, µΩ, mΩor Ω. The DLRO 10 uses a large LED display

and indicators to display the value and units respectively, while the DLRO 10X contains all the information on a clear backlit LCD display.

The use of a four terminal measurement technique removes the test lead resistance from the measured value and auto current reversal eliminates the

effect of standing voltages across the test sample. Additionally, before and during a test, test lead contact is monitored to further reduce the chance of

erroneous readings.

A resistance measurement takes approximately 2.5 seconds and comprises a measurement with forward current, reverse current and a display of the

average. On the DLRO 10X all three values are displayed, and optionally, the measurement may be limited to forward current only.

The instrument is powered by a rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery, which permits one thousand 10 Amp tests to be completed on a

single charge. The battery module contains intelligent circuitry, which prevents damage to the battery from overcharging, and a battery state indicator.

A removable lid that is hinged at the back and held closed by magnetic catches covers the top panel. This lid may be removed if required by opening

fully and snapping out of its hinges.

Both instruments are protected against accidental connection to external voltages up to 600 V d.c. applied between any pair of the four terminals

for up to 10 seconds. Please note that applying 600 V to the potential terminals will cause some internal heating. Expect errors of up to 30 digits

immediately after the application of such voltage. Full accuracy will be restored within two to three minutes. Both instruments are supplied complete

with a pair of DH4 Duplex Handspikes with 1.2 m leads. Other lengths and terminations are available if required.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Press the On/Off switch to turn DLRO 10 on. All lamps will light, V and

I lamps will flash, the software version will be displayed and the Ωlamp

will light. If the test leads have not been connected to the test sample

the ‘C’ and ‘P’ lamps will also light. Press the On/Off button again to

turn the instrument off. If the instrument is not used for 5 minutes it will

be turned off automatically.

Adjust the brightness control to a comfortable level.

Select the Test mode by pressing the Mode button repeatedly. The

indicator lamps will cycle through the various Test modes in turn (see

the section on Test modes). Press the Test button to start a test.

Test Current Indicators

The test current is selected automatically by DLRO 10 and is indicated

by the lamps on the left of the panel. The measured value is displayed

in the main window and the units (µΩ, mΩor Ω) are shown by the

lamps to the right of the window.

Noise Lamp

Noise in excess of 100 mV 50/60 Hz will light the ‘Noise’ lamp and

measurement accuracy cannot be relied upon.

‘C’ & ‘P’ Indicators

The ‘C’ lamp illuminates to indicate contact failure in the ‘C1-C2’ loop.

The ‘P’ lamp illuminates when there is a break in the P1-P2 loop.

‘V’ & ‘I’ Warning Indicators

If external voltage is applied to the terminals the ‘V’ lamp will flash. This

is a warning that the item under test is live and might be dangerous. A

test cannot be performed in this condition.

The ‘V’ lamp will light if more than 50 V. is applied between either

voltage terminal and a current terminal. If the voltage appears between

just the voltage terminals or just the current terminals the lamp will light

at 100 V peak or 5 V peak respectively.

Please note - The ‘V’ lamp will only indicate if a voltage appears

between terminals. The lamp will not operate if all terminals

are at the same high voltage. The lamp will not operate if the

instrument is turned off.

The ‘I’ lamp will light if a current greater than 1 mA is still flowing after

a test is completed. This suggests that an inductive load has been tested

and is still discharging. Do not disconnect the current loop until the ‘I’

lamp has gone out.

GENERAL OPERATION - DLRO 10

DLRO 10X Top Panel

All the controls needed to set up and operate DLRO 10X are located on

the top panel of the instrument.

To the left of the large LCD display are the controls for moving around

the display, controlling the menuing system and adjusting the display

contrast and backlight.

To the right of the display is the large Test button, Power On/Off button

and an alphanumeric keypad for entering notes relating to a test which

will be stored with the test results for later reference.

To turn your DLRO 10X on, press the On/Off button for approximately

1 second. Press again to turn the instrument off. If the instrument is not

used for 5 minutes it will be turned off automatically.

DLRO 10X Main Menu Screen

When first switched on DLRO 10X displays a copyright screen, followed

by the Main Menu screen.

This screen provides you with information such as percentage of battery

charge remaining, index number of the next test, number of tests already

stored and the current date and time.

This screen also provides access to the menuing system, through which

you set up your instrument and choose the desired test parameters.

Navigation of this menuing system is by means of the cursor control and

Enter key.

Warning Messages

The Main Menu screen will from time to time also contain certain

warning messages

Noise

Noise in excess of 100 mV 50/60 Hz will activate the message ‘Noise’

at the bottom of the display. Above this level accuracy cannot be relied

upon.

‘C’ & ‘P’ Indicators

A good measurement requires both the current carrying circuit and the

voltage detection circuit to be completed by the item under test. DLRO

10X checks for this continuity. If there is poor continuity in either circuit

a message will appear at the bottom of the display. This will read “P

OPEN CIRCUIT” if the voltage contacts are high resistance, “C OPEN

GENERAL OPERATION - DLRO 10X

CIRCUIT” if the current circuit is not made or “CP OPEN CIRCUIT” if

both circuits are inadequate. Check the contacts, since a measurement

cannot be made if any of these messages is visible on the display.

External Voltage Warning

If external voltage is applied to the terminals a message “EXT VOLTS”

will flash on the display. This is a warning that the item under test is live

and might be dangerous. A test cannot be performed in this condition.

The “EXT VOLTS” message will flash if more than 50 V. is applied

between either voltage terminal and a current terminal. If the voltage

appears between just the voltage terminals or just the current terminals

the message will appear at 100 V peak or 5 V peak respectively.

Please note - The message will only appear if a voltage appears

BETWEEN terminals. The message will not appear if all terminals are at

the same high voltage. The message will not operate if the instrument is

turned off.

Discharge Current Warning

A message CURRENT FLOW will appear if a current greater than 1 mA is

still flowing after a test is completed. This suggests that an inductive load

has been tested and is still discharging. Do not disconnect the current

loop while the discharge warning is showing.

The Menuing System

Use the Left and Right arrows of the cursor control to highlight the menu

required. Press the Down cursor control to see the options available

on that menu. Select the required option using the cursor control and

press Enter to set that option. Depending on the menu item selected

the display will either present further options or will return to the main

menu screen.

Test Menu

This sub-menu selects the test mode. Only one mode can be active at

a time and the active mode is displayed below the heading TEST. (See

Test Modes later in this manual for details of each mode.)

Options Menu

The Options menu has five options that are not related to each other, as

shown below.

Retrieve

allows the recall of stored results to the display or a PC.

Passbands

This option allows you to set upper and lower limits between which the

test result average must fall if it is to be signalled as a Pass (a long tone

from the buzzer). Readings outside these limits will be signalled as a Fail

(a short tone from the buzzer).

Values are entered via the keypad complete with decimal points, where

applicable, and including µ or m (See section on the Alphanumeric

Keypad). It is not necessary to enter the Ωsymbol. The upper limit must

be less than or equal to 2000.0 Ωand the lower limit must be less than

the upper limit.

After completing the upper limit press Enter. DLRO 10X will check that

valid numbers have been entered and will move to the lower limit.

Complete this limit and press Enter. DLRO 10X will check that valid

numbers have been entered and will display the option to ENABLE or

DISABLE the passbands.

Highlight your choice and press Enter. You will return to the Main Menu

screen.

Note: Passbands will remain enabled or disabled until you enter this

screen and change the selection. If all that is required is to change Pass-

bands from ENABLED to DISABLE or vice versa, enter the PASSBAND

screen and press Enter until the ENABLED / DISABLED choice is shown

at which time you may change the selection.

Set Clock

This option sets the real time clock date and time settings as well as

setting the date format. When you enter this screen the current date,

time and date format will be displayed.

Use the cursor control Up and Down arrows to adjust the highlighted

data. Step to the next item by using the Right cursor control arrow.

GENERAL OPERATION - DLRO 10X

The row below DD MM YY HH MM contains respectively the date, the

month, the two-digit year, the hour of the day in 24-hour notation and

the minute. These must be entered in this sequence regardless of the

date format you wish to use.

The lower DD/MM/YY shows the current date format. Pressing the

cursor control Up arrow will cycle through the available options DD/

MM/YY, MM/DD/YY or YY/MM/DD.

The bottom line shows the current setting of date and time. This is

updated when you press Enter to exit the Set Clock function. However,

tests already stored prior to changing the date format will retain the old

format.

Delete Data

Select Delete Data if you wish to clear DLRO 10X’s memory of stored

data. In case you have selected this Option by accident you will be

asked to confirm that you wish to delete the data; the default is NO.

Change this to YES and press Enter if you wish to delete all data.

Please note - ALL stored data will be deleted.

Storage

The Storage option sets the default for data storage. It may be set to

always store data or never to store data. Highlight the desired option at

the bottom of the screen and press Enter.

With the exception of tests carried out in Continuous mode, at the end

of each test you have the option to change the default by selecting

STORE or NO STORE at the bottom of the results screen.

At the end of a test, if memory is full this STORE / NO STORE message

will change to MEMORY FULL and no more tests will be stored.

Data is stored indefinitely if a charged battery pack is fitted. If the main

battery becomes exhausted or is removed, data is maintained for a

period of 4 days by an internal backup battery. When a charged battery

pack is refitted, the backup battery will recharge to full capacity within

1 week.

Range Menu

DLRO 10X uses a test current between 100 µA and 10 A to measure the

resistance of the item under test. If set to AUTO, DLRO 10X will select

the current according to the resistance it detects. (see Specifications,

Ranges)

However, in some cases it may be desirable set a maximum test current.

If this is so, move the cursor to the desired current and press Enter.

Six test currents are available; 10 A, 1 A, 100 mA, 10 mA, 1 mA and 100

µA. Selecting the 10 A maximum will have the same effect as selecting

AUTO.

The Main Menu screen will show the active current range beneath the

RANGE heading.

ENTERING NOTES IN THE MEMO SCREEN

At the end of each test, (with the exception of a test in Continuous

mode), you can select the STORE or NO STORE option to store the test

results or not. Select the desired option using the cursor control. This

overrides the default setting under Options, Storage for one test only.

If you wish to add comments to the test results, instead of pressing

Enter, briefly press one of the twelve keys on the keypad. You will

enter a memo screen that allows you to enter up to 200 characters of

alphanumeric information concerning the test. When you have entered

all information press Enter and the measurement and memo will be

stored regardless of whether STORE or NO STORE was selected.

If you do not wish to add notes and are happy to accept the default

STORE / NO STORE setting you may press the Test button and a new

test will be started.

TEST RESULT STORAGE

Each test is numbered, starting at test 1. This test number is incremented

automatically, as each result is stored. The test result memory can store

a maximum of 700 tests, each being identified by its test number, date

and time.

It is advisable to retrieve all data to a PC and then to delete all data

before the test number reaches this maximum. Deleting the data will

reset the test number to 1. This will save loss of data.

KEYPAD OPERATION

The 12 key keypad is similar to those used on mobile telephones in that

each key is capable of producing one of several characters depending

on the number of times the key is pressed.

The keypad is used to enter data into the Memo field.

Pressing the blue key marked 9/A changes the function of the keyboard

between alpha and numeric modes.

In alpha mode a full height flashing vertical bar (|) indicates the cursor.

The keys 2 to 9 will produce the letter shown on the keys depending on

the number of presses. For example if the 2 key is pressed once an ‘A’

will appear, twice and a ‘B’ will appear etc.

The 0 key produces a space.

The 1 key is a destructive backspace.

In numeric mode a half height flashing bar (‘) indicates the cursor. The

keys marked 1 - 9 and 0 produce that number when pressed. Press the

respective key briefly to enter the desired number. Pausing will cause

the cursor to move on to the next character. If a key is held down it will

auto-repeat.

The key at the bottom right hand corner of the keypad marked with a

dot is a special key that produces 20 special symbols. Each press will

sequentially produce the character shown on next page:
