MODEL 660A DIFFERENTIAL VOLTMETER

SECTION 1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

l-1. DESCRIPTION.

a. The Keithley Model 660A Guarded dc Differential Voltmeter is a convenient, self-

contained potentiometer. It measures from 100 millivolts to 500 volts with 0.02% limit

of error, and below 100 millivolts within 20 microvolts. Since the limit of error includes

all stability considerations, the unit need not be periodically calibrated or manually

restandardized for a full year. The 500-volt reference supply permits infinite impedance

at null for measurements from 0 to 500 volts.

b. Features for convenient use include: five in-line readout dials with automatically

lighted decimal points; 10 to 25-millivolt recorder output; input polarity switch; floating

operation up to 500 volts off chassis ground; line frequency rejection greater than 45 db.

Also, full guarding minimizes leakage problems.

L-2. OPERATING MODES, The Model 660A can be used as a potentiometer or as a conventional

vacuum tube voltmeter. As a potentiometer, it can measure from 100 millivolts full scale

to 500 volts with i-0.02% limit of error and from 100 microvolts full scale to LOO milli-

volts within 20 microvolts. As a VTVM, the Model 660A measures from 1 millivolt full

scale to 500 volts with an accuracy of -f3% of full scale. It can also measure resis-

tances from 10 megohms to 100,000 megohms within i-5%.

1-3. APPLICATIONS.

a. The Model 660A is used for measurements over a wide range. Typical applications in

the microvolt region are the matching of semiconductors and the monitoring of noise, tran-

sients and drift. High level voltage applications include power supply and meter calibra-

tion, and tube potential measurements.

GENERALDESCRIPTION MODEL 660A DIFFERENTIAL VOLTMETER

Its Long-term stability makes the Model 660A useful in measurements of extended

duration. Measurements of Long-term power supply stability, Long-term drift runs, and

monitoring during environmental and reliability tests are possible uses.

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

meters equipped with automatic print-out. The Model 660A is useful in quality control,

product development, inspection and production.

d. Floating operation to 500 volts is provided for measurements such as plate potential

differences of balanced amplifiers.

SECTION 2. OPERATION

OPERATION

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

Power Switch. A toggle switch turns the instrument on when it is set to the ON

position.

b. POLARITY Switch. The POLARITY Switch selects the input polarity. The Switch rever-

ses the polarity of the internal reference voltage supply so both positive and negative

voltages may be measured; it does not reverse the meter polarity.

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

ranges from 0.1 millivolt full scale

100 volts. When the Switch is in the VTVM position,

the Model 660A operates as a conventional

vacuum

tube

voltmeter

for the four ranges of the

RANGESwitch.

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

0.5, 5, 50 and 500 volts full scale. It also determines the voltage across 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 660A is used as a potentiometer. The last dial is con-

tinuously variable.

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

Control is needed on only the 0.1 and l.O-millivolt null ranges; on the other ranges, the

needle will normally be on zero without adjustment. The Control has a range of approx-

imately i30 microvolts.

25. Input Terminals. At the lower left front panel, the black LO Post is for connections

to the low impedance terminal of the unknown voltage and the red HI Post is for connections

to the high impedance terminal. A second set of binding posts marked LO and GND is provided

for grounding the LO input terminal to the chassis when desired. The LO terminals are

connected together internally.

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

a. Fuse. For 105-125 volt operation, the Model 660A uses a l-ampere 3 AG fuse. FOK

210-250 volt operation, the Model 660A uses a 0.5-ampere 3 AG fuse.

b. Power Cord. The Model 66OR is designed for a 105-125 volt, SO-&O0 cps line source,

unless 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. An adapter for operation from

2-terminal outlets is provided.

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

null detector.

d. OUTPUT

ADJUST.

+4 screwdriver control next to the OUTPUT terminals adjusts the null

detector output between 10 and 25 millivolts full scale.

OPERATION MODEL 660A DIFFERENTIAL VOLTMETER

e. 117-234 Switch. The screwdriver-operated slide switch sets the Model 660A for 117

or 234-volt 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 660A as follows:

Power Switch ON

RANGESwitch 500

NULL Switch VTVM

POLARITY Switch +

Reference Voltage Dials zero

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

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

c. With the input terminals open, set the NULL Switch to 0.1 MV and zero the meter with

the METER ZERO Control. Then return the NULL Switch to VTVM. The stability of the Model

660A is such that no adjustment should be required in eight hours after a 30-minute warm-up.

2-4. OPERATING PROCEDURES.

a. The Model 66OA is used first as a VTVM to determine the approximate value of the un-

known voltage. It is then used in the potentiometric mode to determine the voltage to iO.OZ"/,.

MODEL 660A DIFFERENTIAL VOLTMETER OPERATION

NOTE

The Model 6601A High Voltage Divider extends the Model 660A range to 5000 volts.

Refer to Section 7 for operation instructions.

b. VTVM Operating Procedures.

1. Eleven 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 660A can then operate as a VTVM on the

seven null ranges.

2. Connect the unknown voltage to the input terminals, using the LO Post for the low

impedance terminal of the unknown. Refer to Figure 4.

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

c. Potentiometric Operating Prbcedures.

NOTE

Avoid large overload voltages on the null detector. No permanent damage will

occur even with 500-volt overloads, but some open circuit offset will be caused

in the null detector. The offset, due to the polarization of the input filter

capacitors, will disappear after about 5 minutes.

1. Leave the RANGE Switch at the last setting used in the VTVM operation. If the

VTVM reading is negative, reverse the POLARITY Switch position.

2. Set the first two Reference Voltage

Dials to the first two digits of the un-

known voltage found in the VTVM operation.

3. Set the NULL Switch to the initial

null setting shown in Table 1. Adjust

the Voltage Reference Dials progressively

for zero meter deflection while increasing

the null detector's sensitivity with the

NULL Switch. Deflections to the right TABLE 1. Recommended Null Sensitivities

indicate the voltage being measured is and Settings.

more positive than the Reference Voltage

Dial setting.

NOTE

The most accurate resistors in the Kelvin-Varley divider are in the first two

Reference Voltage Dials. Therefore, to obtain the most accurate readings, use

the first two dials as much as possible.

4. The value of the unknwon voltage is read directly from the Reference Voltage Dials.

a) The Dial reading will be within the specified limit of error if the NULL Switch

is at the most sensitive setting (Table 1) for the range used and if the meter indi-

cates as close to null as possible. Null does not have to be reached.
