Keithley 181 Nanovoltmeter. Unit powers on normally and all range-selection buttons, indicators, and display functions responded during testing.
Testing performed:
-
Unit was powered on and allowed to warm up.
-
Applied known DC voltages using a Korad laboratory power supply.
-
Display responded appropriately to approximately 0.01V, 0.10V, and 1.00V input signals.
-
Measured approximately 0.021V with a 0.01V input.
-
Measured approximately 0.115V with a 0.10V input.
-
Measured approximately 1.008V with a 1.00V input.
-
Readings increased proportionally with applied voltage and tracked changes in input level.
Observations:
-
Unit continuously exhibits display drift and fluctuation regardless of input condition.
-
Similar fluctuation was observed with open inputs, shorted leads, and while measuring applied DC voltages.
-
Although the unit responded correctly to changing voltage levels, the displayed value was not completely stable and continuously varied during operation.
-
No attempt was made to calibrate, adjust, or repair the instrument.
-
Calibration status is unknown.
Includes:
-
Keithley 181 Nanovoltmeter only.
Does not include:
-
Test leads
-
Manual
-
Calibration documentation
-
Accessories
Plastic case damaged as pictured.
This unit demonstrated functional voltage measurement capability and responded appropriately to applied test voltages; however, due to the continuous display drift/fluctuation and unknown calibration status, buyers should assume calibration, adjustment, troubleshooting, or service may be required depending on their application.
