Title: ASR-103
Post by: maxamp on December 06, 2024, 05:53:35 am
Has anyone used or done a tear down of a ASR-1**?  I can't find anything about it in EEVblog...

Hello

That not rocket science , there is some pictures of similiar products ( other brand on this forum ) generally that a main resistor and one in series / parallel to adjust the value , I have put in the post a link with Xdev DIY resistor that very close to the design except Xdev use a random value and not an adjusted value.

Depend who you are as If you are a big company with budget that not a problem but perhaps that possible to be clever ( estimated prices include shipping )
a nice machined CNC alu enclosure can be in the 700 USD ( CAD / CNC machining / surface treatment ..)
a set of Pomona banana connectors = 5x30 = 150 USD
internal insulation bespoke cut = 100 USD
internal shield = 100 USD
temp sensor well = 50 USD
various parts 25  USD

after the main component as the '' resistor '' is in the 150 x 4 = 600  USD max and can be tested / calibrated  before installation and after installation

final calibration to complete the project a quite costly service following the 2019 NIST prices list

Xdev have interesting things on his website :
https://xdevs.com/article/bsw104/ (https://xdevs.com/article/bsw104/)

a DIY transfert low cost from Xdev

https://xdevs.com/article/lcrbox/ (https://xdevs.com/article/lcrbox/)

BE AWARE of EBAY standard as there is no proof of evidence as the resistor have not been over heated by using wrong current level

Hello

a Fluke 742 autopsie on Xdev website

https://xdevs.com/article/f742a/

Xdev work quality is impressive

Fluke 742 by using two parallel copper plates ( slotted / drilled ) is a very good design which allow a simple setup and easy DIY without sophisticated tools .

There are some papers about HRU standard resistors (https://vpgfoilresistors.com/product/1549/datasheet) available.
Those have different design than PWW (old SR104, F742A) or BMF (VHP100/200/VHA series, new SR104?).
Seems ASR does not use same technology as HRU/USR-SF, more like classic BMF: Alpha Electronics Standard Resistors (https://vpgfoilresistors.com/products/standard-resistors-and-decade-boxes/hru-1r0/brochure/2)
Be careful with DS of VPG resistors, their typical values may be far from what you get IRL: Study of temperature coefficient on 260 precision resistors (https://xdevs.com/article/tcr_test/#vpg2018).

Papers (may be available on a popular open source science hub):
Characterization of 1 kΩ Metal-Foil Standard Resistors and Continuing Drift-Rate Evaluation of 1 Ω and 10 Ω Standard Resistors (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/8558577)

I put the VPG Y607110K0000T9L resistor I got from Digi-key on top of a peltier hot/cool plate and a 3458A.  Temperature cycled from 19-27C and got about 0.31ppm/C which is off but close to the 0.2ppm/C spec.  It could be due to my setup rather than the resistor. The xdevs article you linked is more about temperature coefficient rather than long term drift.

Hello,

What is the X-Axis: time in seconds or number of measurement (@ which NPLC).

For me it looks like there is some lagging effect (resistance reacts delayed to the temperature setpoint)
and/or some ageing drift (start and stop at the same temperature differ somewhat).

So I would:
- stay at the temperature extremes for a longer time. (plateau)
- cycle several times to see eventually occuring ageing drift.

By the way:
after my experience most of the heat transfer inside the resistor is done by the resistor wires.
So the wires should have a good thermal coupling to the temperature block.
Do you have the possibility to also measure the actual temperature value?

with best regards

Andreas

just a guess from my side: the "lag" is him running ACAL after an SP change.
~12min for a full ACAL iirc => about 45min each step

Hello,
that is not what I am seeing:

from lowest temperature between 20 and 22 deg C there is no change in resistance.
Then at 23 deg C a small movement and at 24 deg C a large jump.
So the delay is more than one ACAL cycle.

with best regards

Andreas

Unless the measurement cycle is really long, it may not be a good idea to add ACAL calls in between. They also add some noise and over a short time the meter is more stable than the ACAL performance. It is still more the choice of no ACAL at all, or ACAL relatively frequent, like 2 x per step.

X-axis is time in seconds.  I'm taking an ACAL with the temperature change which flat lines the readings.  I put the temperature sensor on the plate, put the resistor leads over the plate (rather than to the side), switched to 8508 to avoid ACALS  and 1 hour per step.  I'll post results when it's ready.  Thanks for the feedback.

Could you show a picture of you "plate setup"? If it is what it sounds like, a peltier with heatsink on one side and you just put the resistor on top of that in open air, i could see this being a big source of unreliable measurements. Better to build a box that the peltier are cooling. There are lots of such build projects posted here.

I attached what I have measured so far.  Keep in mind I started everything cold.  It now looks more like 0.83ppm/C.

I got this really cheap off ebay.  Its built like a tank.  I'm sending it serial commands.  It only has a set resolution of 1C.

Yes, I realize something like this would be more optional.  I just haven't put the time into building it yet.

Looks better now.

the best results on my measurements I got with a setup like here:

(note the 2 temperature sensors in good contact to the heat spreader near the resistor wires).

Here is the longer run data.  Linear fit is 1.04PPM/C.
