3 Product Description
1. Product Description
Due to its compact design and battery powered operation the TOM 610 is suited for mobile
applications in industrial areas. It also can be operated stationary with the provided wall power
supply. The menu-driven TOM 610 is operated by only 2 pushbuttons and its touch display and
therefore very user-friendly. All set measurement parameters are shown in the display for a
better orientation. The provided PC software enables the user to perform computer driven
measurements.
The enclosed PC software also allows the TOM 610 to be operated computer-controlled.
In addition the measurement data can be administrated and processed.
The TOM 610 works according to the voltage current measurement principle. The measurement
time required by norms, like DIN EN 61340 or EOS-ESD 4.1/6.1, can be set with an internal
timer.
As a new world innovation, we measure the „Break-Down“ Resistor and Voltage and also the
„Break-OFF“ – Time if it happens.
The measured data including environment parameters, can be stored in an internal memory (up
to 200 records). Thereby the measurements are maintained and can be read out later via the
USB interface.
As resistance values of some materials depend on air humidity and temperature, these
environmental parameters are measured and saved together with each measurement value.
Thus, reproducible measurements can be performed.

4 Manual TOM 610
As long as the selected measuring voltage is not stable, the displayed measured value is
highlighted in blue. If the measuring range is exceeded “Overflow” and if it fell below the range
“R < xxxOhm” will be displayed. (depending of measure voltage)
When the measured value is displayed without a blue background it is stable !
This can take up to a few seconds with very high resistances.
As a rule, we recommend a max. Measuring voltage of 100V !
Use 500V or 1.000V only if problems occur by 100V !
IMPORTANT !! Umess > 100V => Do not touch the electrodes during the measurement !
After switching on it can also take a few seconds until the temperature and humidity are
displayed. As long as these are set to zero no operation is possible !

2.1. Operation
The TERA Ohmmeter TOM 610 is shipped with 4 AA NiMH rechargeable batteries and is
immediately ready to start.
For charging the batteries and for continuous operation only the provided wall power supply
may be used.
For start measurements, first connect the electrodes to the appropriate connectors (see legend)
and position it on the object to be measured. Afterwards touch button «Measure» or «Measure
with timer» has to be pressed to start the measurement.
Please pay attention by moving the measure cables or people passing by as it can cause
electrostatic induction of the measurement setup.
Switch on the unit by touching button “ON”
After powering on, the software version is displayed and after 3 seconds it switches to the main
menu:
2.2 MAIN MENU
Seven touch fields are available in the main menu:
1 Umess => Manual ↔ Auto Selection between
automatic and Manuell measuring voltage - Field 3 is
only active (blue background) if Manuell is selected !
2 Umess => submenu select measuring voltage 2.3
will be open
3 Display Mode Techn. ↔ Expo. selection
between displaying the Measure Value in technical
(235MOhm) or exponential (2,35 x 108 Ohm)
representation
4 By touching => off => the device switches off.
5 special function => submenu “special function” 2.4 will be opened.
6 Measure => Start the measurement 2.5 with selected parameters
7 Meas. with Timer => submenu “measuring with timer” 2.6 will be opened.
The current date and time will also be displayed.
By pressing the Button “Start” the measuring will start with the selected parameters.

2.4.2 Break down resistance
Measuring the “Break Down” resistance in dependence of the measuring voltage
7 Manual
Important !! Measuring range 5MOhm up to 200GOhm !! ( 5x106 . . . . . 2x1011)
Measurement procedure :
Measure Voltage starts by 10V
Continued by 100V and then in steps from +50V up to 1.000V.
The resistance is measured continuously.
If a Break Down takes place, the resistance value goes down sharply (>50%).
This voltage value is displayed as BDV (Break Down Voltage)
The resistance before and after is also displayed.
By touching => Start => (or by pressing the button “Start”)
it starts measuring.
By touching => Main => it will switch back to the main
menu.
After “Start” The resistance value and the Measure voltage
is displayed. Down right, the time remaining of this voltage
step is displayed. (The voltage step time can be selected in
the user setup).
By touching => Stop => the measuring will stop and then it
switches back to the start menu.
If the resistance is out of the measuring range an overflow
or underflow will be displayed
If there was no Break Down up to 1.000V => “no Break-
Down” appears.
By touching => Main => It switches to the main menu.
By touching => ok => It switches to “Break Down
Resistance” menu 2.4.2
2.4.3 Break down Voltage detected
The “BREAK DOWN ! !” menu opens automatically after a
break-down occurs.
By touching => Main => It switches to the main menu.
By touching => Save => it saves the measured data.
By touching => Break Off => It switches to menu
“BOFF Time” 2.4.4
** If no “Break OFF” measurement has taken place => No values will be displayed.
After Break OFF measurement without Break OFF display shows “NO BOFF".
If Break OFF has occurred, the Break OFF resistance value and the Break OFF time are displayed.
8 Manual TOM 610
2.4.4 Break OFF
Measuring of the Break Off time (BOFF)
The voltage switches to 1.000 Volt and the timer will start.
If there is a sharp change in resistance value (<50%) this
value (before and after) and the timer (BOFF) are
displayed.
Break OFF time can be selected in the user setup.
If the timer counts up to the max. time and no Break off
occurs => it displays NO BOFF
By touching => Back => it switches back to menu 2.4.3
with “break OFF R = 0” and “Break OFF T”
If Break Off occurs , the timer stops and displays “Break
Off R = xx.x Ohm” (actually value)
By touching => Back => it switches back to menu 2.4.3
with measured values in “break OFF R” and “Break OFF T”
2.5 measure
By touching => Umess / Display => you can select as well
in the main menu.
By touching => Main => It switches to the main menu.
By touching => Save => (when measure voltage is stable =
blue background) It switches to menu
“save measurement” 2.7
Always switch back to main menu after measurement !
2.6 measuring with timer
By touching => Umess / Display => you can change it, like
in the main menu
By touching => Time => It switches to menu “select
timer” 2.6.1
By touching => Lapse / Average => it switches between
lapse** and average* mode

menu.
2.8 Battery monitoring
If the battery voltage drops below 4. 4 V, the current
values are highlighted. (yellow)
When switching to another menu, the background color
also changes. (yellow)
In this case it is absolutely necessary to connect the
power plug adapter!
If the battery voltage drops below 4. 0 V , the device is
switched off to prevent over discharge of the batteries!
