Model 1920 General Information




SECTION 1. GENERAL INFORMATION


l-l. INTRODUCTION


l-2. The Keithley Model 1920 is a True Root Mean Square (TKMS) AC plug-in option for the
Models 192 and 191. The 1920 enables the 191 or 192 to measure the TKMS value of an AC
siynal. When the 1920 is installed in the Model 192 an ACtUC function is available. The
Model 1920 has four ranges on which an AC siynal can be measured. It is field
installable.

Model 1920 Operating Instructions




SECTION 2. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS


Z-l. Operating Instructions for the rlcdel 1920 installed in the ilodel 191 are as
follows:

2-2. Ilith the ilodel 1920 option, the ilcdel 191 reads AC voltages froln 10 r;licrovolts/digit
to 1000v. The instrument displays the True Koot llean Square (TKilS) value of an AC
voltage. It has a frequency response of 20Hz to 100ktlz.


2-3. The rnaximm reading is 199YYY. Werrange is irdicatcd by (-) l-----, except on
the 1000 volt range. The 700 volt range is selected idith the 1000 volt button. On the
700 volt range, the display can read beyond the rnaxiinuln allobiable input voltage. ilaximun
allobcable input: 1OOOV Peak AC + DC; 2 x lo7 V'Hz. Use the ilodel 191 to lneasure AC
voltage as follobis:


CAUTION

Do not exceed maximum allohcable input voltage. Instrument damage may
occur.

A. Turn the pokier on IJith the UN/OFF pushbutton, ati depress the ACV pushbutton.


8. Select the desired range from the 4 ranges available. The decimal point is positioned
by the range pushbutton.


C. Ensure that the I0JLL pushbutton is out (light off) unless measurements are to be made
as deviations from a preset value.

NOTE

Do not use NULL to zero the range. A small residual zero readirq is
normal. If NULL is used to zero this offset, readings in specified
accuracy range will be low by the offset amount. This is because rms
measurement signals add in a root mean square fashion arrl not
linearly. The NULL function is a linear offset axl not usable in TKllS
measurements.


0. Connect the signal to be measured between the INPUT HI ati LO binjiny posts. The
birding posts accept wires, spade lugs or banana plugs for ease of connectiq the
circuit to be measured. Observe the displayed digits ard decimal point.

Operating Instructions Model 1920



E. For specified accuracy (pulse widths ,lOns, peak voltage (1.5 x full scale) Figure 2-1
shows the allowable input signal vs. crest factor. The figure illustrates that for a
crest factor of three the displayed reading must be less than 100,000 counts (1V on
the 2V range). So long as the maximum input is not exceeded no damage will result in
crest factors exceeding that shown in Figure2-I, but accuracy will slowly degrade (For
CF >3 but<10 typical accuracy is degraded by (CF-3) x 0.36% arti peak signal must be
less than 5 x full scale for that range).

2-4. Operating Instructions for the Model lY20 installed in the Model 192 are as
follows:

2-5. With the Model 1920 option, the Model 192 reads AC voltages from 1 microvolt/digit
to 1ooov. The instrument displays the True Koot Mean Square (TKMS) value of an AC voltage
signal.

2-G. The maximum reading is
Overrange 199999. is indicated by OFLO. Maximum allowable
input is 1OOOV Peak AC f DC; 2 x 107V.Hz. Use the Model 192 to measure AC or AC + DC
voltages as follows:
CAUTION

Do not exceed maximum allowable input voltage. Instrument darnage may
occur.

A. TURN POWER UN with UN/OFF pushbutton.

B. Press the ACV button once to select the ACV (TKMS) function. Press the ACV button
ayain and the 192 will measure the T'KMS value of an AC + UC signal (AC signal
superimposed with a DC level). The ACV and DCV LEDs will light simultaneously when
the AC + UC function is enabled. Pressing the ACV button again will return the 192 to
the ACV function. Pressiny the DC button while in AC t DC returns the 192 the DCV
function.

NOTE


The 14odel 192 will display "NO AC" if ACV is selected without the 1920
or 1910 ACV option. The AC + UC function is available only with C-4
and dbove software and Kev U and above Analoy Board.


C. SELECT KANtiE from the four ranyes available. The decimal point is positioned by the
ranye pushbutton. The 1UOUV ranye is selected with the 2000 button. If the ZUIQ
button is inadvertently pressed when in ACV function, the 192 will set the ranye to
1uuo.

Il. ZEKU OFF unless [measurements are to be made as deviations frown a preset value.


NOTE

Uo not use ZEKU to zero the ranye. A small residual zero readiny is
normal. If LEKU is used, the residual voltaye readiny in specified
accuracy ranye will be low by the amplitude of the zeroed residual
voltaye. This is because rms measurement signals add in a root mean
square fashion and NUT linearly. THe LEKU function is a linear offset
and not usable in TKMS measurelnents.


E. CONNECT IllPUT to be measured between the HI HCV and LO bindiny posts.

F. TAKE KEAUING.


ti. For specified accuracy (pulse widths LlUus, peak voltage (1.5 x full scale) Figure Z-l
shows the allowable input siynal vs. crest factor. The figure illustrates that for d
crest factor of three the displayed readiny (must be less than lUU,UUU counts (1V on
the ZV ranye). So long as the maximum input is not exceeded no damage will result in
crest factors exceediny that shown in Fiyure 2-1, but accuracy will slowly degrade
(For CF >3 but 510 typical accuracy is degraded by (CF-3) x U.3GX and peak signal must
be less than 5 x full scale for that range).
