PIM Tester Safety Tips While Charging

 

When using a PIM tester out in the field, make sure that you do not have your unit plugged into your vehicle as you turn the vehicle on.? Doing this can damage the 5V internal power supply within your unit.? To also help limit the risk of damage to the internal electronics of your PIM tester, always use the power adapter that came with the unit from the manufacturer.? The OEM power adapter is specifically made for your PIM unit and has safety measures built in to choke excess voltage and current that may damage your tester.

 

The best way to power your PIM unit on-site is to first turn the vehicle on, then plug in your OEM power adapter into your PIM unit, followed by plugging the power adapter into the vehicle.? This ensures that your unit will continue to work properly and help extend the life of the unit.

New definition of the kilogram has finally come

Kilogram

Yesterday marked a great achievement for mankind in creating a new, perfect definition of what a kilogram is. ?Back in 1889, France made the world’s official kilogram weight made out of a?platinum-iridium alloy. ?This type of metal was specifically chosen due to its ability to hold up to corrosion and its stability to maintain it’s weight over a long period of time. ? To make sure it would keep its weight it was also placed in 2 different vacuum chambers and was not allowed to be touched directly by anyone, since the oils on your skin would rub off, changing the weight and speed up corrosion. ?Unfortunately, since it is a man-made object, it wasn’t perfect and has lost 50micrograms since it was originally made.

 

Now scientists, after decades of work, have defined the weight of a kilogram?by the Planck constant. ?The Planck constant is a concept in quantum mechanics?which describes how the tiniest bits of matter release energy in discrete steps or chunks. ?What makes?the Planck constant a perfect measurement is that it will never change. ?It is also called a natural constant, much like the speed of light. ?We have changed the way we measure other standards?to a natural constant, such as the length of a meter is defined as?the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 of a second, since light cannot change speed, the length of a meter will always be the same.
