4. Produs terminatview

The VOLTCRAFT R-BOX 02 features multiple banks of switches, allowing for precise adjustment of resistance values. The unit is equipped with 4mm sockets for secure connections.

Figura 1: Față view of the VOLTCRAFT R-BOX 02. This image shows the main unit with its array of toggle switches, each labeled with resistance values, and the 4mm input/output terminals at the top. The labels indicate resistance ranges from 1 Ohm to 4M Ohm, with a note about 1% resistors and 0.3 Ohm internal resistance. Instructions at the bottom state "Start with all switches up (OUT) for 0 Ohms. Switch down (IN) to add Resistance value."

Figura 2: Prim-plan view of the VOLTCRAFT R-BOX 02. This image provides a clearer look at the individual switches and their corresponding resistance values, as well as the color-coded 4mm banana plug terminals (black, yellow, red) at the top for connecting to external circuits. The text on the device indicates "1% Resistors (0.3W) + 0.3Ω internal" and "1 to 11,111,110 Ω (1Ω step)".

5. Configurare

1. Despachetarea: Carefully remove the R-BOX 02 from its packaging.
2. Inspecţie: Inspect the device for any signs of physical damage. Do not use the device if it appears damaged.
3. Plasare: Place the R-BOX 02 on a stable, flat, and non-conductive surface.
4. Conexiuni: Use appropriate 4mm banana plug cables (not included) to connect the R-BOX 02 to your circuit or test equipment. Ensure connections are secure.

6. Funcționare

The R-BOX 02 allows you to select a desired resistance value by engaging a combination of switches. Each switch corresponds to a specific resistance value.

6.1 Setting Resistance Values

1. Stare initiala: Ensure all toggle switches are in the "OUT" (upward) position. In this state, the total resistance is 0 Ohms (excluding internal resistance).
2. Selecting Values: To add a resistance value, push the corresponding toggle switch to the "IN" (downward) position.
3. Calculating Total Resistance: The total resistance presented by the R-BOX 02 is the sum of all resistance values for the switches currently in the "IN" position.
4. Examppe: To achieve a resistance of 123 Ohms, you would push the switches for 100 Ohms, 20 Ohms, and 3 Ohms to the "IN" position.
5. Maximum Resistance: The R-BOX 02 can provide resistance values from 1 Ohm up to 11,111,110 Ohms (approximately 11.1 MOhms) in 1 Ohm steps.

6.2 Connection to Circuit

Connect the 4mm banana plugs from the R-BOX 02 to the points in your circuit where you wish to introduce the selected resistance. Always ensure the circuit is de-energized before making or breaking connections.

7. Întreținere

• curatenie: Curățați exteriorul dispozitivului cu o lavetă moale și uscată. Nu utilizați substanțe de curățare abrazive sau solvenți.
• Depozitare: Store the R-BOX 02 in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspecţie: Periodically check the 4mm sockets and switches for any signs of wear or damage.
