Frequently Asked Questions

Level Controller Topic: Measure Resistance between Electrodes

 

FAQ No. FAQ03209

 

Question

 

How do you measure the resistance between electrodes?

 


Answer

The resistance cannot be measured using a tester, so you need to measure the current between the electrodes with an ammeter that is capable of accurately reading values around 1 mA (with impedance as low as possible), and then measure the voltage between the electrodes with an ohmmeter that is capable of reading values down to a few volts (with impedance as high as possible). When you have these values, use Ohm's law to calculate the resistance.


* Measure with E1 and E3 wired to the 61F Level Controller.
