Kelvin Probes 

9.2  Operational Components 

9.3  Measuring with the Kelvin Probes  

Testing with the Kelvin Probes is much like the testing procedure with RMO itself, 
and with Remote Control: 

–   Turn off RMO and connect the Kelvin Probes to RMO, 
–   Turn on RMO and in 

Sing 

menu, define a test parameters for 

              the test, and press 

ENTER

 to change to the 

Test

 menu, 

–   The flashing green LED indicates that RMO is now ready to start the test, 

–   Press Kelvin Probes to the surface of the test object by force to provide           

 proper contact, 

–  Press the

Ω

/STOP

 button to start the test. While the test is running, the green   

    and red LED flash alternately. To stop the test prematurely, press the        
    

Ω

/STOP 

button once more.  

–  Once the test is finished, RMO automatically changes to the 

Result

 menu to   

     display the test results. The green LED lights up continuously. 

If an error occurred during the test, the red LED lights up continuously, and the    

       display presents the according error message. 

Provided that, for a series of tests, the same test current is fed through the       
test object, multiple tests can be carried out with the Kelvin Probes. Simply   
press the 

Ω

/STOP

 button again to repeat the procedure. 

If different test parameters are required, set them on RMO directly, and                   

   start the new test by pressing the 

Ω

/STOP

 button again.

 Sense pin   

Depending on the situation, 
the 

Ω

/STOP

 button has 

varying functions: 
    • When the green LED 
      flashes, a new test can be 
      started by pressing this  
      button. 
    • When the green LED 
      lights continuously, 
      pressing this button will 
      prepare RMO for a 
      new test, using the test 
      parameters set on RMO. 
    • While a test is running  
      (the green and the red  
      LEDs flash alternately),  
      pressing this button  
      stops the test        
      immediately.  

The LEDs of the Kelvin    
Probes function synchronized  
with the ones of RMO. 

 Green LED 

    • Flashes when a 
       test can be started. 
    • Flashes alternately           
       with the red LED          
       during a test. 
    • Lights continuously       
       when a test is done. 

 Red LED 

    • Flashes alternately         
       with the green LED      
       during a test. 
    • Lights continuously in 
       case of operational error.
