SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The OMEGA® Model 868 and 869 Digital Thermometers are designed to use 100 ohm (alpha = .00385) platinum RTD (resistance temperature detector) sensors for high accuracy and long-term temperature stability. The Model 868 has two switch-selectable ranges: from 199.9° to +199.9°F with 0.1°F resolution, and between -360° and +1100°F with 1°F resolution. The Model 896 measures between -199.9° and +199.9°C with 0.1°C resolution, or between -220° and +630°C with 1°C resolution. Both instruments are designed for use with probes conforming to the DIN 43760 standard.
1.2 FEATURES

· Platinum RTD Based Temperature Measurements. A chief advantage of the platinum RTD sensor is platinum's predictable resistance change with temperature, resulting in high accuracy. · Easily Selected Three or Four Wire Measurements. The unit may be used with either three wire or four wire temperature probes. An internal switch provides easy selection. · Rugged case of high impact plastic. · Long Battery Life. Because of low power consumption, an alkaline battery will typically last for 500 hours of continuous operation. SECTION 2 INSTALLATION

2.2

BATTERY INSTALLATION

A nine volt battery is supplied with the instrument but is not installed, to avoid possible damage due to leakage during storage or shipment. Install the battery as follows: 1. Remove the instrument back cover. 2. Insert the battery in place; make sure correct polarity is observed and battery terminals are contacting the battery clips. 3. Install back cover. SECTION 3 OPERATION
3.1 SAFETY PRECAUTION AND NOTES

WARNING Do not subject the probe to a voltage more than 30 V RMS, 42.4 V peak above earth ground, or a shock hazard may result. NOTE Use only 100 ohm platinum RTD sensors that conform to the DIN 43760 standard (alpha = .00385). Other type sensors will give inaccurate results. Maximum allowable lead resistance for rated accuracy is 50 ohms per lead (four wire) or 10 ohms per lead (three wire). NOTE For best accuracy, it is recommended that the instruments be used in the four wire configuration with a suitable four wire probe. If three wire probes are used with the instrument in the four wire mode, noisy readings will result (the displayed reading will jump around).
3.2 CONTROL AND DISPLAY

Figure 3-1 shows the control layout and nomenclature. The following paragraphs contain information on probe connection, three and four wire selection, range selection, and basic temperature measuring procedures.

Figure 3-1. Control Layout, Model 3.3 OPERATING PROCEDURE

NOTE The instrument is factory set for wire operation. It can be easily changed for three wire use. Refer to paragraph 3.5. 1. Connect the temperature probe to the input connector at the top of the instrument. 2. Place the temperature range switch in the desired position. Use the lower range, when possible, for best resolution and accuracy. Power is automatically turned on when the range is selected. 3. Place the probe tip on or in the material to be measured. 4. The display will indicate the temperature at the tip of the probe in °F (model 868) or °C (model 869). An overrange condition (a "1" followed by blanked digits) may indicate the need to switch to a higher range, or show that the temperature is outside the measuring range of the instrument, or that the probe is open.

5. When the measurement is complete, place the ON-OFF/ RANGE switch in the OFF position to conserve the battery.
3.4 ACCURACY CONSIDERATIONS Model 868 Setting 200°F 100°F 869 200°C 630°C Range -199°F to -100°F -100.1°F to 199.9°F -360°F to 1100°F -199°C to -100°C -100.1°C to 199.9°C -220°C to 630°C Accuracy ±1°F ±.4°F ±2°F ±1.5°C ±.3°C ±1°C

Keep in mind that these accuracy figures are for four wire probe operation with a lead resistance of less than 50 ohms (each lead). Three wire RTD's will afford the same accuracy if the lead resistance is kept below 10 ohms (each lead). Particularly in an acid fume environment, contact resistance for three wire RTSD's should be compensated for by calibrating at 32°F (0°C) with the probe used. Accuracy figures do not include possible probe erirs, which could affect overall measurement accuracy. Probe errors near 32°F for the Model 868, and near 0°C for the Model 869, can be minimized by recalibrating the instrument for use with a specific probe. For probe calibration procedures, refer to paragraph 5.2. The operating temperature of the instrument itself can affect accuracy. The accuracy figures given above are for an instrument operating in the range of 65° to 82°F (18° to 28°C). For operating environments between 14° and 65°F (-10° and 18°C) and betewwn 82° and 122°F (28° and 50°C), a temperature coefficient of less than ±0.15°F/°F(±0.15°C/°C) can be expected.
3.5 THREE WIRE OR FOUR WIRE OPERATION

The instrument has been set for four wire operation at the factory, but the mode of operation may be changed as follows: 1. Remove the back cover. 2. Set the 3 WIRE/4 WIRE switch (see Figure 3-2) to the desired position, as indicated on the shield. 3. Replace the back cover.

SECTION 4 THEORY OF OPERATION This section contains a brief description of operation that should help a technician in understanding instrument operation during a measurement, to aid in isolating possible malfunctions. Detailed schematics of each model are provided at the end of the manual.
4.1 THREE WIRE SIGNAL CONDITIONING

Two phases are necessary to condition the signal for digitization. Each of these phases has a period of one-half the A/D converter back plane (BP) period. These two phases are called the zero phase and the signal phase, respectively. During each phase, appropriate FETs are switched on to configure the circuit as required.
4.1.1 Zero Phase

During the zero phase, certain FETs are switched on to configure the circuit shown in Figure 4-1. This curcuit operates similarly to a sampleand-hold curcuit, in which voltage levels are capacitively stored for later use. The following summarizes this function. 1. C R is connected across R R. The voltage charged on C R is equal to IRR. 2. CZ is connected across RZ + L through LZ. The voltage charge on CZ is equal to I[RZ + L].

Figure 4-1. Three Wire Zero Phase
6

3. The input of A1 is connected to ground. The output of A1 is equal to [A1Vos]. 4. CC is connected between the output of A1 and common. The voltage charged on CC is equal to the output voltage of A1 or [A1Vos]. 5. CA is connected between the output of the A2 network and common. The voltage charged on CA is equal to the output voltage of A1 attentuated by A2 or [A1A2 Vos].
4.1.2 Signal Phase

During the signal phase, the FET switching configuration changes so that the voltages developed during the zero phase are connected to the A/D converter. The configuration during the signal phase is shown in Figure 4-2. The following discussion assumes that the circuit has gone through more than one charge transformation: 1. CR is connected across CE and after a sufficient number of zero and signal phases the voltage on C E approaches that stored on CR. That voltage is equal to IRR. 2. CZ is connected between L2 and the input of A1 in a way that opposes the voltage drop across RT and L4. Since the voltage charged on CZ is I(RZ + L1) the voltage at the output of A1 is [A1(I(RT + L4) - I(RZ + L2) + Vos] or [A1(I(RT - RZ + L4 - L1) + Vos] RZ is made to equal the value of RT at 0°. This action eliminates the offset of RT (100 at 0°C). 3. CC is connected between the output of A1 and the top of CD in such a way that opposes the output of A 1 . The voltage charged on CD is A1(I(RT - RZ + L4 - L1) + Vos) -A1Vos or A1I(RT - RZ + L4 - L1) If L4 exactly equals L1 then this reduces to A1I(RT-RZ). 4. CA is connected between the output of the A2 network and the top of CB in such a way that opposes the output of A2. The voltage charged on CB is A1A2(I(RT - RZ + L4 - L1) + Vos) -A1A2Vos or A1A2I(RT - RZ + L4 - L1) If L4 exactly equals L1 then this reduces to A1A2I(RT - RZ).
7

Due to this two phase measurement Vos and lead resistance effects are eliminated provided the lead and contact resistances are equal. The voltages developed across CB, CD and CE are digitized by the A/D converter. The basic dual slope converter transfer function for 31/ 2 digits is DISPLAY = 1000 (VinH - VinL)/(VrefH - VrefL) VrefH is equal to the voltage charged on CE or VrefH = IRR VrefL is equal to the voltage charged on CB or VrefL = A1A2I(RT - RZ) VinH- VinL is equal to the voltage charged on CD or VinH - VinL = A1I(RT - RZ) The display is then given by the transfer function. DISPLAY = 1000 A1I(RT - RZ)/(IRR - A1A2I(RT - RZ)) DISPLAY = 1000 A1(RT - RZ)/(RR - A1A2(RT - RZ)) Note that the value of the divider current (I) is not critical.

4.2

FOUR WIRE SIGNAL CONDITIONING

There are two phases necessary to condition the signal for digitization. Each phase lasts for a period equal to one-half of the back plane period of the A/D converter. These are called the zero and signal phase.
4.2.1 Zero Phase

During the zero phase, FETs are switched to configure the circuit shown in Figure 4-3. The fourth wire adds an additional attenuation that slightly increases the offset voltage at the input to amplifier A1. 1. C R is connected across R R. The voltage charged on C R is equal to IRR. 2. C Z is connected across R Z . The voltage charge in C Z is equal to IRZ. 3. The input of A1 is connected through L3. Since, ideally, zero current flows into A1 the voltage at the output of A1 is equal to [A1(IL4 + Vos)]. 4. CC is connected between the output of A1 and common. The voltage charged on CC is equal to the output voltage of A1 or [A1(IL4 + Vos)]. 5. CA is connected between the output of the A2 network and common. The voltage charged on CA is equal to the output voltage of A1 attentuated by A2 or [A1A2(IL4 + Vos)].

4.2.2

Signal Phase

During the signal phase the 4 charged values of voltage are transfered to other parts of the circuit (refer to simplified Figure 4-4). The following explanations assume more than one charge transfer has taken place. 1. CR is connected across CE and after a sufficient number of zero and signal phases the voltage on C E approaches that stored on CR. That voltage is equal to IRR. 2. CZ is connected between L2 and the input of A1 in a way that opposes the voltage drop across RT and L4. Since the voltage charged on CZ is IRZ the voltage at the output of A1 is [A1(I(RT + L4) - IRZ + Vos)] or A1(I(RT - RZ + L4) + IRZ + Vos) RZ is made to equal the value of RT at 0°C. This action eliminates the offset of RT (100 at 0°C). 3. CD is connected between the output of A1 and the top of CD in such a way that opposes the output of A1. The voltage charge on CD is A1(I(RT - RZ + L4) + Vos) - A1(IL4 + Vos) or A1I(RT - RZ) 4. CA is connected between the output of the A2 network and the top of CB in such a way that opposes the output of A2. The voltage charged on CB is A1A2(I(RT - RZ + L4) + Vos) - A1A2(IL4 + Vos) or A1A2I(RT - RZ) Due to this two phase measurement Vos and lead resistance effects are eliminated.

Figure 4-4. Four Wire Signal Phase
10

The voltages developed across CB, CD and CE are digitized by the A/D converter. The basic dual slope converter transfer function for 31/ 2 digits is DISPLAY = 1000 (VinH - VinL)/(VrefH - VrefL) VrefH is equal to the voltage charged on CE or VrefH = IRR VrefL is equal to the voltage charged on CB or VrefL = A1A2I(RT - RZ) VinH - VinL is equal to the voltage charged on CD or VinH - VinL = A1I(RT - RZ) The display is then given by the transfer function. DISPLAY = 1000 A1I(RT - RZ)/(IRR - A1A2I(RT - RZ) DISPLAY = 1000 A1(RT - RZ)/(RR - A1A2(RT - RZ) Note that the value of the divider current (I) is not critical.
4.3 ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL (A/D) CONVERTER

The A/D converter (display driver) consists of the IC U102 and external resistors and capacitors as shown in the applicable schematic. The network forms a dual-slope, integrating voltageto-display converter. The instrument battery is connected to U102 terminal 1 (+) and terminal 26 (-) and controlled by switch S101B. The A/D reference voltage is derived from capacitors CR/CE (see Figure 4-1). The temperature reading input is the IN HI signal derived from capacitors CC/DD and is processed to drive the display. If IN HI voltage falls below REF HI, a sign signal is output to the external polarity detector and to the display to light the negative (-) indicator.
4.4 POLARITY DETECTOR

The polarity detector decodes the sign signal supplied by the A/D converter by using an EXOR gate U101D. The output is filtered by R101 and C101 to eliminate unwanted race conditions. This signal controls the state of MUX gate U104A which modifies the A 2 attenuation constant on negative readings for better conformity.
4.5 FET DRIVERS

The FETs control the zero and signal phases of the measurement cycle. These analog switch FETs are controlled by U104B and U104C. A FET is turned on by placing the gate at analog common. Conversely, each FET is turned off by placing the gate at -V potential. U104B drives the FETs used for the zero phase, while U104C drives the FETs used for the signal phase.
11

4.6

LOW-BATTERY DETECTOR

Low-battery detection is accomplished by comparing the regulated voltage between V+ and common to the output of the voltage divider (R107 and R110), which is connected across the battery. When the battery voltage decreases, the output of the voltage divider rises above analog common, causing comparator U103A to change state. This action enables the LO BAT annunciator on the display.

SECTION 5 SERVICE INFORMATION
5.1 DISASSEMBLY

The instrument must be opened to replace the battery, to select three or four wire operation, or for calibration. Troubleshooting or parts replacement may require more complete disassembly (see Figure 5-1). The sequence below describes the basic procedure for disassembling the instrument. 1. Remove the back cover. 2. At this point, you obtain access to replace the battery, select three wire or four wire operation, or perform calibration. Replace cover. 3. To remove the PC board, unscrew the standoff securing the board to the front case. The board may now be pulled free, although the wires to the probe jack will still be attached. When the board becomes free of the case, the switch cover will pull free as well. If necessary, the board can be pulled completely free by detaching the wires at the board end. The probe jack may then be removed, if necessary, by removing the nut securing it to the case and pushing the jack free from the inside. CAUTION Handle the PC board only at the edges, whenever possible, to avoid possible contamination, which could degrade instrument performance. 4. The LCD assembly may be removed from the PC board by carefully spreading the clips that secure the display to the board. Once the assembly is free of the board, the various parts will be loose, so handle the LCD with care.
12

CAUTION Do not touch the elastomer contact strips or mating surfaces on the PC board. Also, use care when spreading the clips to avoid breaking them. 5. The instrument may be reassembled by reversing the above prodcedure, using Figure 5-1 as a guide. When assembling the instrument, take special note of the following points: A. If the LCD was removed, be sure it is aligned properly on the board, with the clips fitted properly into the notch on each side of the board. B. If the probe jack was disconnected, make certain the wires are connected properly. The wire colors are marked on the PC board. C. Make sure the PC board is properly secured to the front case with the standoff. The switch cover should be placed on the switch when installing the PC board. D. Once the rear cover is in place, secure it with the attachment screws.

5.1

CALIBRATION

Calibration should be performed yearly or whenever the instrument is known to be out of specification. Calibration should be done at an ambient temperature of 23 ±1°C at a relative humidity of less than 80%. Normal instrument calibration is performed by substituting precision resistors of known value for the temperature probe and adjusting calibration potentiometers for specified readings on the display. The instrument may also be calibrated to compensate for probe errors near 0°C (32°F). Both procedures are covered in this section. Equipment Required: Precision decade resistor box, ±0.01% tolerance Female four wire instrumentation connector (supplied with instrument) The following items are necessary only for probe compensation: Distilled ice water bath in dewar flask or Thermos®. 100 Ohm (alpha = .00385) Platinum RTD immersion probe. 1. Connect the precision decade resistor box to the instrument as shown in Figure 5-2. 2. Remove the rear cover as described in the disassembly instructions. Note that it is not necessary to remove the PC board to perform calibration. 3. Check to see that the 3 WIRE/4 WIRE switch is in the 4 WIRE position. 4. Turn on the instrument power and verify that the LO BAT indicator is not displayed. If it is, replace the battery before beginning the calibration procedure. 5. Refer to Table 5-1. Calibration procedures are outlined here. Perform each step in the procedure in the order shown, by setting the decade box to the precise value listed and then adjusting the associated calibration potentiometer for the required reading on the display. Potentiometer locations are shown in Figure 3-2. 6. If probe compensation is required, proceed to the next paragraph; otherwise dismantle the text fixture and replace the back cover.

PROBE COMPENSATION

The procedure outlined in the last paragraph provides accurate absolute instrument calibration, but it cannot compensate for probe inaccuracy. Probe errors near 32°F (0°C) can be minimized by using the following procedure. 1. Make up an ice water bath by firmly packing a dewar flask or Thermos with pea-size ice cubes made of distilled water and then filling the container with distilled water. Replace melted ice with new ice while removing excess water during the calibration procedure. 2. Connect the probe to be compensated to the instrument. 3. Drill a hole in the flask or Thermos cap just large enough to accommodate the probe. Place the cap on the bath container and pass the probe through the hole until the probe tip rests at the center of the ice water bath. 4. Allow 20 minutes for the test fixture temperature to stabilize. With the model 868 on the 200°F range, adjust R104 for a reading of 32.0 on the display. For the Model 869, R104 should be adjusted for a reading of 00.0 with the instrument on the 200°C range. NOTE Using this method of probe calibration will uncalibrate the instrument slightly when used with other probes.
5.4 TROUBLESHOOTING

The troubleshooting information, along with appropriate schematics and parts lists, are included to serve as a guide to enable equipment repair. The schematics and parts lists may vary slightly from actual production units and are to be used as a guide only. Likewise, the troubleshooting section is a guide only and cannot cover all possible contingencies that may occur. Each Model 868 and 869 is covered by a 13 month warranty as described on the inside front cover of this manual. Warranty will be void if the unit shows evidence of having been tampered with. To gain access to the PC board for troubleshooting, the rear cover and internal shield must be removed, as described in the disassembly instructions. When troubleshooting or replacing components, handle the PC board only by the edges to avoid possible contamination. Recommended Equipment: Digital Multimeter (DMM) with 10 megohm input resistance, ±0.05% basic accuracy; triggered sweep oscilloscope with dc to 10 MHz bandwidth.

A/D Converter Checks

A/D converter operation can be checked by measuring the input and reference voltages and then comparing the displayed reading to a value calculated from these input voltages. 1. Connect a temperature probe to the instrument; make sure the temperature remains stable while making voltage measurements. 2. Connect the DMM LO terminal to analog common (pin 32 of U102). 3. Connect the DMM HI terminal to pin 31 (IN HI) of U102 and record the reading. 4. Connect the DMM HI terminal to pin 30 (IN LO) of U102 and record the reading. 5. Connect the DMM HI terminal to pin 35 (REF HI) of U102 and record the voltage. 6. Connect the DMM HI terminal to pin 36 (REF LO) and record the reading Using the measured values above, calculate the displayed reading (neglecting the decimal point) as follows: Display = 1000 (IN HI-IN LO) (REF HI-REF LO) If the displayed value does not agree with the calculated value to within a few digits, the A/D converter is not functioning properly.

STATIC-SENSITIVE PARTS

MOS devices are designed to operate at very high impedance levels. As a result, any normal static charge that builds up on your person or clothing may be sufficient to destroy these devices if they are not handled properly. Table 5-4 lists those parts used in the Models 868 and 869 that might be destroyed by static charge. When handling these devices, use the following precautions: 1. Transport and handle these parts only in containers designed to prevent static build-up. Typically, these parts will be received in static-protected containers of plastic or foam. Keep these devices in their original containers until ready for installation. 2. Remove the devices from their protective containers only at a properly grounded work station. Also ground yourself with a suitable wrist strap. 3. Handle the devices only by the body; do not touch the terminals or pins. 4. Any PC board into which the device is to be installed must also be properly grounded. 5. Use only anti-static type solder suckers. 6. Use only grounded soldering irons. 7. Once the device is installed on the PC board, it is normally adequately protected, and normal handling may resume. CAUTION This assembly contains electrostatic sensitive devices which can be damaged by static discharge when touched. Observe precaution when handling.

This performance verification procedure should be accomplished after any parts replacement or circuit repair, or to check instrument operation at any time incorrect operation is indicated.
19

Performance verification is performed by connecting precise resistors to the instrument in place of a temperature probe and checking to see that the displayed reading falls within a prescribed range. The following procedure should be performed at an ambient temperature between 65° and 82°F (18° and 28°C) at a relative humidity of less than 80%. If the instrument has been stored outside these limits, allow at least 24 hours for operating conditions to stabilize. Required Equipment: Precision decade resistance box, ±0.01% tolerance Female four wire instrumentation connector (supplied with instrument). NOTE The following procedure must be performed with the instrument in the four wire mode. See Figure 3-2 for the location of the 3 WIRE/4 WIRE switch which sets the appropriate mode. Access to the switch requires rear cover removal as described in the disassembly instructions. 1. Connect the precision resistance box to the instrumentation connector as shown in Figure 5-2. Plug the connector into the instrument. 2. Turn on the instrument and verify that the LO BAT indicator is not displayed. 3. Refer to Table 5-5, which lists the verification procedure for both instruments covered by this manual. To verify instrument performance at each of the points, set the resistance box to the required value; with the instrument on the prescribed range, verify that the displayed reading fallswithin the necessary limits. 4. If the displayed reading is out of tolerence at any of the points, refer to the calibration section for the correct procedure to bring the instrument within tolerance.
