1. Description
The TERA Ohmmeter TOM 584 is suitable very well for the mobile use in industrial areas through its
compact housing and the battery power supply. It can also be used stationary with a plug power supply.
The TOM 584 is menu-controlled, has only two keys and is very operator-friendly.
All parameters are shown in the LC - Display.
The included PC-Software is for remote controlled usage, and additionally measuring results can be
administered and processed.
This TOM 584 works with the current - voltage - principle.
Besides the electrode connection sockets, also an additional ground socket exists. The appliance should be
grounded to eliminate parasitic effects (influence effect).
To the transactions of the measurements anuses of tied-up Norm DIN EN 61340 / EOS-ESD 4.1/6.1 can
the measuring time be selected with the internal timer.
With Timer = ON the measurement values inclusive the air parameters can be stored in the internal
EEPROM. They don’t are deleted by switching off the unit. The values can be read out trough the PC-
Interface at all times.
2. Operating Instruction
2.1. Start operation
The TERA Ohmmeter TOM 584 is delivered with a 9V NiMH – Battery, and is directly ready to start.
Only the enclosed plug power supply should be used for charging the battery, and stationary work.
• The electrodes are connected to the corresponding sockets (s. legend) and placed on the probe.
• The measuring instrument should be grounded.
• During the measurement of very high-ohm-resistors is to be kept that no influence effect is happen on
the measure input.
• To Switch On the unit press key „B“.
After switching on, first the software version is shown. Provided the timer is „ON“, in the display appear
press start. You can start the measure by pressing key „A”
The current resistance value and the timer attitude are shown afterwards.
If the timer should be turned off, immediately appears in the display:
>2.0xE12Ω
ΩΩ
ΩT=OFF
• To switch off the appliance press again key „B”.
• In the battery mode the unit switches off, if no button was pressed, automatically after approximately
5 minutes.
2.2 Charging the 9V Battery
The TOM 584-TF is allowed to operate only direct with the enclosed power supply. Also only with this the
installed NiMH – battery should be loaded. Connect the power supply to the integrated socket, and but the
plug power supply to a power socket. The NiMH - battery is completely charged after maximum 14 hours
and supplies the TOM 584 approximately 2 hours in the continuous operation.
