MODEL 630 POTENTIOMETRIC ELECTROMETER GENERALDESCRIPTION

SECTION 1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

l-l. DESCRIPTION

a. The Keithley Model 630 Potentiometric Electrometer is a convenient, self-contained

potentiometer, It measures from 300 millivolts to 500 volts dc with 0.01% limit of error

from source resistances as high as lOlo ohms, and below 300 millivolts within 30 microvolts.

The upit need not be constantly calibrated or manually restandardized for a full year;

the limit of error is specified for one year.

in ut resistance of 1013 ohms,

F"'

Using the guarded, vibrating-reed null detector, the Model 630 has a minimum (slewing)

on the l-millivolt to l-volt ranges, increasing to over

10 5 ohms at 1% off null and to infinite resistance at null. With this extremely high in-

put resistance , .the Model 630 draws an absolute minimum of current to avoid loading and

polarizing the source.

c. Features for convenient use include: 5 in-line readout dials with automatically

lighted decimal points; one-volt, one-milliampere output for full-scale deflection on all

ranges except the l-millivolt; input polarity switch; floating operation up to 500 volts

off chassis ground; better than 60 db line-frequency rejection on the l-millivolt range.

Also, full guarding minimizes leakage problems.

l-2. OPERATING MODES. The Model 630 can be used as a five-dial potentiometer or as a

vibrating-reed electrometer. As a potentiometer, it can measure from 300 millivolts to

500 volts full scale with *O.Ol% limit of error and from 1 millivolt full scale to 300

millivolts within 30 microvolts. As a vibrating-reed electrometer, the Model 630 can

measure from 1 millivolt full scale to 500 volts within 23% full scale.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION MODEL 630 PO'TENTIOMETRIC ELECTROMETER

l-3. APPLICATIONS.

a. Due to its very high input resistance, the Model 630 is very useful in making accur-

ate dc measurements from high resistance sources frequently encountered in electrochemical

and physical-chemical research. It is especially useful for measuring potentials from

piezo-electric crystals, electro-chemical cells, grids and plates of tubes, biological

cells and pH electrodes. The Model 630 is also ideally suited for making Hall-effect and

fuel-cell studies, silicon resistivity and capacitor charge measurements, and for mrasur-

ing gate potentials of field effect transistors.

b. The null-detector output permits use with potentiometric recorders and digital volt-

meters equipped with automatic print-out. The Model 630 is

useful

in quality control, pro-

duct development, inspection and production.

MODEL 630 POTENTIOMETRIC ELECTROMETER OPERATION

SECTION 2. OPERATION

2-1. FRONT PANEL CONTROLSAND TERMINALS. (See Figure 2).

a. POLARITY Switch. The POLARITY Switch turns the instrument on and sclccts

the

input

polarity. The Switch reverses the polarity of the internal rc,Ccrcncc voltage supply so

both positive and negative voltages may be measured; it does not reverse the meter polar-

ity.

b. DETECTORINPUT Switch. A 3-position toggle switch allows selection of

the

Model

630 input resistance and also allows checking the meter zero.

1) Setting the Switch to 1010 OIIMS sets the input resistance at 1010 ohms for all

ranges.

Setting the Switch to OPh'N sets the input resistance at 1013 ohms for the l-milli-

volt through l-volt ranges. The input resistance remains

1010 ohms for the ranges

above 1 volt.

3) Setting the Switch to ZERO CK internally disconnects the input from the vibrating

capacitor and shunts the capacitor to the amplifier low. This allows meter zeroing on

any range without removing the input signal.

'c. NULL Switch. The NULL Switch sets the null detector sensitivity for six decade

ranges from 1.0 millivolt full scale to 100 volts. When the Switch is in the VTVM posi-

tion, the Model 630 operates as a vibrating-reed electrometer for the four ranges of the

RANGE Switch.

d. RANGE Switch. The RANGE Switch adjusts the sensitivity of the VTVM in four steps:

0.5, 5, 50 and 500 volts full scale. It also determines the voltage acrws the Kelvin-

Varley divider and the position of the decimal point light - which also serves as a pilot

light - between the five Reference Voltage Dials.

e. Reference Voltage Dials. Five in-line dials at the top of the front panel set the

reference voltage when the Model 630 is used as a potentiometer. The first four switches

have decade steps as indicated on the dial. The last dial is continuously adjustable.

f. METER ZERO Control. The METER ZERO Control adjusts the meter needle to zero. The

Control allows precise meter zeroing on all ranges when the DETECTORINPUT Switch is set

to ZERO CK. The Control has a. range of approximately 120 millivolts.

g. Input Terminals. The Model 630 uses a special triaxial receptacle for its INPUT

Receptacle. The Receptacle is similar to a bnc connector, but requires using the furnished

Model 6302 Input Cable. Using a standard bnc conmctor could damage the INPUT Receptacle.

A set of binding posts marked LO and GND is provided for grounding the LO input terminal

to the chassis when desired. The LO terminal and the shell of the triaxial INPUT Recep-

tacle are internally connected.

2-2. REAR CONTROLSAND TERMlNALS. (See Figure 3)

a. Fuse. For LOS-125 volt operation, the Model 630 uses a l-ampere 3 AG fuse. For

210-250 volt operation, the Model 630 uses a 0.5-ampere 3 AG fuse.

OPERATION MODEL 630 POTmTIOMETRIC ELECTROMETER

b. Power Cord. The Model 630 is designed for a 105-125 volt, 60-cps line source, un-

less otherwise specified on the rear panel. The 3-wire power cord with the NEMA approved

3-prong plug provides a ground connection for the cabinet. A 3:2 prong adapter is provi-

ded.

C. NULL DETECTOROUTPUT. Two terminals, marked + and -, supply a dc signal from the

null detector.

d. COARSEZERO Switch. A screwdriver adjustment is provided for bucking out the con-

tact potential of the vibrating-reed capacitor. The Switch has a i-100 millivolt span in

ten ZO-millivolt steps.

e. 117-234 Switch. The screwdriver-operated slide switch sets the Model 630 for 117

or 234volt ac power lines.

2-3. PRELIMINARY PROCEDURES.

a. Check the 117-234 Switch and the Fuse for the proper ac line voltage. Connect the

power cord.

b. Set the Model 630 front panel controls as follows:

DETECTORINPUT Switch ZERO CK

RANGESwitch 500

NULL Switch VTVM

POLARITY Switch -I.

Reference Voltage Dials ZWXJ

The decimal light between the third and fourth Dials will light. Allow the instrument

to'warm up 30 minutes to meet the specified accuracy on all ranges.

c. Set the NULL Switch to 1.0 MV. Zero the meter with the METER ZERO Control. Nor-

mally, using the COARSEZERO Control on the rear panel is not necessary. Return the

NULL Switch to VTVM.

Check meter zero periodically. Null detector drift can be up to 2 millivolts

per day, which will cause inaccuracies in continuous readings. Setting the

DETECTORINPUT Switch to ZERO CK disconnects the input signal source from the

instrument, avoiding polarization. It is not necessary to disconnect the input.

2-4. OPERATING PROCEDURES,

a. The Model 630 is used first as a voltmeter to determine the approximate value of

the unknown voltage. It is then used in the potentiometric mode to determine the voltage

to 10.01%.

Vibrating capacitors are extremely sensitive to shock and vibration. when

making a measurement,place the Model 630 on a vibration free, rigid structure

or on some material which will minimize vibration. Also, tightly tie down

the input cable and any attached circuitry; any cable flexure will generate

electrostatic charges which the Model 630 will detect.

MODEL 630 POTENTIOMETRIC ELECTROMETER OPERATION

FIGURE 4. Input Connections to Model 630. The two diagrams show the input circuit for

measuring at ground and for floating.

In A, the unknown voltage has one terminal at ground. The shorting Link is between

the LO and GND Posts of the Model 630.

In B, the unknown voltage has both terminals off ground potential. The floating or

off-ground potential must be less than 500 volts. Also note the shorting line is pe&

used.

b. The Model 630's high input resistance allows circuit measurements without causing

circuit loading. (See paragraph 2-6.) On the l-millivolt to L-volt null ranges, the in-

put resistance can be set to 1013 er 1010 ohms with the DETECTORINPUT Switch. Use the

OPEN (1013 ohm input) setting for high source resistances; use the LOLO OHMSsetting to

avoid pickup problems or to increase response speed.

resistance is 1010 ohms for either setting. On ranges above 1 volt, the input

NOTE

When making measurements on devices with high contact resistances (such as

silicon), completely isolate the power supply from ground to avoid measuring

the drop acress the contact resistance.

c. Voltmeter Operating Procedures.

1. Ten full-scale ranges are available for VTVM operation. When the NULL Switch is

at VTVM, the RANGE Switch determines one of four full-scale ranges. By putting the five

Reference Voltage Dials at zero, the Model 630 can then operate as a voltmeter on the

six null ranges.

2. Connect the unknown voltage to the INPUT Receptacle, using the Model 6302 Input

Cable or the Model 6301 Guarded Probe. When using the guarded probe, use a separate

lead to the LO Terminal.

3. Switch the RANGE Switch to the most sensitive range for an on-scale meter deflec-

tion.
