[volt-nuts] PPM LTD Model 410/411 Voltage Reference

[Rob Klein]

Hi Tony,

While I know nothing about this particular device, green precision 
wire-wound resistors in an English instrument almost
certainly are made by Mann Components (later taken over to become 
Vishay-Mann). They're easily recognized by
an "MC" monogram.

Regards,
Rob.

It appears to be zener based, it has a black box on the PCB that I beleive houses/sheilds the zener.  On the rear panel it has bananna jack that is labeled 6.25498V.  It has a 1KV and 100V input divider to 1 volt output.  It also has a switched output of 10V, 1V, 100mv, 10mv, 8mv, 6mv, 4mv, 2mv, 1mv, and zero volts.  The unit uses binding post for the inputs and outputs and it also has a sense and guard binding post.

The batteries were configured so that 2 cells provided a negative supply, and 12 cells provided a positive supply.  The unit uses 0.005 percent wirewound resistors, they are green in color, but I do not reckonize who made the resistors.  The unit uses OP07 op amps, using the round "TO" style cans of old opamps.  The unit has a calibration sticker showing it was calibrated on 9-87, a transformer inside shows a made date of 1979.
