Installation / Setup
The Model 4600 High-Voltage Digital Voltmeter requires careful handling during setup to ensure safety and proper operation. Upon unpacking, inspect the unit for any damage, especially if the shipping carton is compromised. The voltmeter uses two fuses for protection: a 2A fast-blo fuse for the battery and a 1A fast-blo fuse for the internal circuitry. Replace these fuses only with exact equivalents if blown.
For bench use, familiarize yourself with the operating instructions before use. If rack mounting is desired, an optional kit is available, and the unit should be supported to prevent movement during transport. Ensure proper airflow by installing blank panels between units in a rack, and maintain ambient temperatures below 50°C during operation and 70°C when powered off.
To extend battery life, keep the unit connected to the charger when not in use, avoid high temperatures, and do not allow the batteries to fully discharge. Safety precautions include following all instrument warnings, not changing ranges with high voltages applied, and ensuring the COM terminal does not exceed +2500 volts from earth ground to avoid shock hazards.
Operation
4-1 General
The Model 4600 High-Voltage Digital Voltmeter is designed to measure AC or DC voltages with a resolution from 10 volts to 19,999 volts full scale. It is particularly useful for servicing computer terminals and CRT display equipment, allowing voltage measurements up to +20KV DC (15KV AC) with an option for up to 30KV DC. The voltmeter features overload protection on all input ranges when operated within specified limits and offers excellent linearity and high-frequency bandwidth up to 20kHz on lower voltage ranges. It operates on a rechargeable internal battery supply, which is disabled when the meter is in operation to prevent shorts to ground. The battery life typically lasts 5-6 hours between charges. For safety, the charger should be disconnected while making high voltage measurements.
4-2 Front Panel Controls
The front panel controls of the Model 4600 include various switches and indicators necessary for operation. Users should familiarize themselves with these controls before using the voltmeter.
4-3 Making Connections
When making connections with the Model 4600, it is important to follow safety precautions to prevent hazards. The connections should be secure, and the user should ensure that the voltmeter is properly set up for the type of measurement being conducted.
4-4 Low Voltage Measurements
For low voltage measurements, the Model 4600 offers precise readings with high accuracy. Users should refer to the manual for specific instructions on setting up the voltmeter for low voltage measurements.
4-5 High Voltage Measurements
The Model 4600 is capable of measuring high voltages safely, provided that the user follows all safety guidelines and precautions. The manual provides detailed instructions on how to perform high voltage measurements.
4-6 Option “Peak Hold” Operation
The Model 4600 includes an optional “Peak Hold” feature, which allows users to capture and hold the peak value of a voltage measurement. Instructions for using this feature are provided in the manual.
Troubleshooting & Error Codes
Refer to the PDF for details.
Safety & Warnings
Warning: Although the Vitrek Model 4600 has been designed to provide a safe high voltage measurement (i.e. battery isolation, flush mounted input terminals, plastic instrument case, etc.) extreme caution must always be used when working with high voltages. Always heed the following precautions to ensure maximum safety:
1. Follow all warnings on the instrument.
2. Never attempt to change ranges with high voltages applied.
3. Always remove power from the high voltage source when not in use.
4. The maximum isolation of the COM terminal from the instrument chassis is +2500 volts. This means that a shock hazard may occur if the COM input is raised more than 2500 volts from earth ground potential.
