Theory of Operation

In the bridge diagrams "G" is the 1,000 Hz tube generator and HT (Head Telephone) is the eye tube.

Operating Instructions ZM-11/U (on inside of lid)

Installation

Ground the ground lead.  Plug cord into 105 - 125 Volt A.C. line.  POWER to ON.

Electrolytic Capacitors

Connect capacitor, observing polarity, to C posts;
FUNCTION to C CHG;
RANGE to 1, 10 or 100;
advance VOLTAGE CONTROL slowly until meter reads working voltage.
Read leakage on 25, 5, or 1 MA scale.
Balance for C and D while charged.

Insulation Resistance

Connect sample to INS. RES. posts;
FUNCTION to CAL;
OSCILLATOR to D.C. VOLTS;
advance VOLTAGE CONTROL until meter reads 500 Volts.
Adjust CALIBRATE INS. TEST until eye pattern just closes.
Turn FUNCTION to 5000 M or 10,000 M and VOLTAGE CONTROL until pattern again just closes.
Read insulation resistance on meter.

Capacitor Quality

Plug in cable P101 clips open;
FUNCTION and RANGE to CAP QUAL;
D dial to 0;
VOLTAGE CONTROL to 0;
OSCILLATOR to SET METER.
Turn VOLTAGE CONTROL until meter is full scale.
Set OSCILLATOR to OPEN,
turn OSCILLATOR ADJUST until meter is full scale.
Clip leads on capacitor.
If meter stays still capacitor is open.

If meter falls, turn OSCILLATOR to SHORT.
If meter returns to full scale capacitor is shorted.
If meter falls it is not shorted.  SEE MANUAL (NAVSHIPS 91704) FOR LIMITATIONS.

Operation	Resistance	Turns Ratio	Inductance	Inductance	Capacitor non-electrolytic
Turn Function switch to	R	N1/N2	L(Q)	L(D)	C
Connect to Post Marked	R	N1 N2	L	L	C
*For balance			Q	D	D
if no balance		reverse one winding & rebalance	Try L (D) & rebalance	Try L (Q) & rebalance
