K2 Front Board Resistance check

[Steve Harpole, DDS.]

Front board is complete and on page 27 of the K2 manual all of the U1 pins check within limits as well as the ground points at J1 pin 8, and J1 pin 20.   Also pins 15 thru 19  of J1 check out good too.  My question is that I am using a Fluke 87IV and when I check the remaining pins with supposedly values >50k or >1M I get a OL , over limit indication on the instrument.  Is this OK ....should I be getting some sort of value in excess of the stated resistances?  

Thanks Guys,

Steve

Hi

If you are getting a OL display on your meter and you are in autoranging or on a range that can measure greater than the resistance called out in the manual then you are OK.

When are using an auto-ranging meter meter, I sometimes get that kind
of result. If I select the specific range instead, I usually get a proper
reading. In any case, "OL" is measuring a high resistance which is greater
that that specified and that is what you are looking for.  Geoff, K6TFZ
