2. GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Consult temperature indicator system and/or engine manufacturer's instructions for procedures and
specifications. Read the complete operation procedures before attempting to use the TT1000A.

A. Protective Circuits
1. PCB1 F1 (AGC ½A) protects the TT1000A from overloads through the test leads.
2. PCB1 D1 across the 9-volt supply prevents accidental application of reverse polarity at
battery replacement.

B. Preparation for Use

1. Battery Installation / Replacement
a) Place the TT1000A on a clean area. (A clean cloth or paper pad placed next to the
TT1000A to receive the panel is desirable.) Remove the four corner panel screws. Lift
the panel high enough (approx. 2 in.) to disconnect the 45-volt battery connector located
under ON / OFF switch (if required). Withdraw the panel and bulkhead assembly.
b) Barfield supplies the TT1000A with 6 new AA Energizer® Alkaline EN91 batteries (no
leaks guaranteed). Barfield highly recommends replacement of the batteries using the
same or AA Energizer MAX® Alkaline E91.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT BATTERY LEAKAGE:
1. PROMPTLY REMOVE DEAD OR WEAK BATTERIES FROM THE TEST
SET.
2. NEVER MIX OLD AND NEW BATTERIES – REPLACE ALL BATTERIES
AT THE SAME TIME.
3. NEVER MIX BATTERY TYPES SUCH AS ALKALINE, HEAVY DUTY,
OR RECHARGEABLE.
4. AVOID SUBJECTING BATTERIES TO HIGH TEMPERATURES SUCH
AS IN A VEHICLE DURING SUMMER.
5. REMOVE BATTERIES IF THE TEST SET WILL BE STORED FOR A
LONG PERIOD.
6. DO NOT LEAVE TEST SET SWITCHED ON AFTER THE BATTERIES
ARE EXHAUSTED.
c) Insert six each 6 each new AA Energizer® Alkaline EN91 or AA Energizer MAX®
Alkaline E91 batteries by grasping the ends and pushing straight down. Observe
polarity. The plus (+) terminal is positive.
d) Connect the 45-volt no. 415 (NEDA 213) battery. to the battery connector terminals,
place battery into lower holder clips and rotate upward until it is seated. Observe
polarity.
Note: To remove batteries reverse steps c) and d) above.
• Connect a new 9 Volt alkaline battery to the 9V Input terminals of the Voltage
Converter observing polarity (refer to Figure 4).
CAUTION: POWERING THE 137-08001 FROM ANY SOURCE OTHER THAN
AN ALKALINE 9 VOLT BATTERY MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE
CONVERTER.

56-101-00901 Revision G Page 8

 Note: The converter output can be checked by connecting a DVM (10MΩ input
impedance or less and set for 200 VDC) to the 45V Output terminals of the
converter observing polarity. The output voltage with a fresh battery should
measure approximately 47VDC.
• Connect the 45V battery leads to the 45V Output terminals of the Converter
observing polarity (refer to Figure 4).

Figure 4 Voltage Conversion

e) The "coin" battery has a minimum life expectancy of five years and is installed at time of
manufacture. To remove the "coin" battery, do the following:
• Insert screwdriver between face of cell and holder spring clip through one of the
slots.
• Pry up and remove with fingers or insulated tweezers.
CAUTION: IF A SCREWDRIVER OR OTHER METAL TOOL IS USED TO PRY
OUT CELLS, TAKE CARE NOT TO SHORT CIRCUIT OR DAMAGE
CELL INSULATION.
f) Carefully place the bulkhead of the panel assembly between the vertical guides in the
carrying case, and slide the assembly downward until the 45V battery connector can be
connected and connect. Then, slide panel assembly downward into place.
2. Perform the TT1000A Battery check prior to testing as follows:
a) To check the 45-volt battery used for insulation testing, rotate the FUNCTION selector
switch to RESISTANCE MEASURE position and the RESISTANCE RANGE selector to
BAT.
b) If voltage is below 45 volts, replace the 45-volt battery as outlined in. 1. Battery
Installation / Replacement, section a), on page 8.
c) To check the six 1.5-volt batteries used for all functions rotate the RESISTANCE
RANGE selector switch to 20 ohm position and short test lead clips together.
d) Depress the black pushbutton switch. If BAT is displayed, replace the six 1.5-volt
batteries as outlined in 1. Battery Installation / Replacement on page 8.
Note: After removal, test each cell individually (under load) as one or more defective
cells mixed with good ones may produce a low battery warning.

56-101-00901 Revision G Page 9

 C. Precautions
1. Do NOT press either pushbutton with test clips connected to the aircraft indicator. The
current applied may damage the indicator.
2. Do NOT connect test clips to an energized circuit. Although the TT1000A is provided with
protective devices, not all damaging potentials can be made completely safe.
3. Allow sufficient time for test clips to stabilize to the temperature of the terminals to which
they are connected for temperature tests.
4. Measure system and thermocouple resistance with a cold engine for greatest accuracy.
5. To conserve battery power, place ON / OFF switch to OFF when the test set is not in use.
6. BAT warning displayed indicates that about 10% battery life of the six 1.5V batteries
remains and the batteries should be replaced.
7. Perform insulation battery check (refer to section B. Preparation for Use, item 2.a) and 2.b)
on page 9 before taking measurements). Voltage should be 45 volts or greater.

D. Hot Engine Testing

A hot engine will cause thermocouple to generate a small potential which will produce
errors in measured resistance values. This effect is inherent in any type of resistance
measuring instrument.
The effect can be circumvented by taking two measurements; the first with test leads connected
in one polarity, and then reversing the lead connections for the second measurement. The true
value is equal to the average of the two readings (i.e., add the two readings and divide by two).
The two readings must be taken in quick succession so that the thermocouple temperature will
be the same for both readings. If the thermocouple are too hot, the readings will be too far from
nominal to provide sufficient accuracy. In this case, wait for the engine to further cool.

3. SYSTEM LEAD RESISTANCE TEST PROCEDURE

A. Disconnect thermocouple leads from system temperature indicator.

B. Carefully connect test lead clips to each of the lead wires insuring a good electrical connection.
C. Rotate the FUNCTION selector to RESISTANCE MEASURE.
D. Rotate the RESISTANCE RANGE selector to 20Ω.
E. Place the ON / OFF switch to ON and depress the BLACK pushbutton switch.
F. The display will indicate resistance in ohms to within ±0.01Ω.
G. If a "1_.__" is displayed, select 200 Ω on the RESISTANCE RANGE switch. If a "1__._" is
displayed, resistance is greater than 199.9 Ω or there is an open circuit.
H. Swap the RED and BLACK test clip connections and the display should repeat when the
BLACK pushbutton is depressed. If the reading does not repeat, the engine thermocouple may
be hot (refer to paragraph. 2.D. Hot Engine Testing above).
Note: Resistance must be within manufacturer's specifications. If results are slightly outside
limits, repeat entire procedure to ensure test failure is not due to human error.
I. Place the ON / OFF switch to OFF.

56-101-00901 Revision G Page 10
