Megger MFT success brings customer benefits
As a direct result of the outstanding sales success achieved by combination testers in its new MFT1500 range, Megger is supplying a free calibration certificate, worth GBP69, with every instrument
Alternatively, it can be downloaded to a computer, or output directly to a printer, via the instrument RS-232 port.
To ensure maximum versatility, the test current used by the DLRO200 is continuously variable from 10A to 200A, making it unnecessary for users to employ separate test sets with fixed operating currents of, for example, 50A, 100A and 200A.
The maximum test current for every test is easily set via the keyboard, ensuring that the equipment under test is fully protected against damage caused by excessive current flow.
The DLRO200 low-resistance ohmmeter has a measuring range of 0.1microOhm to 999 milliOhm.
Four-terminal testing is used to cancel the resistance of the test leads, and the instrument offers a choice of three operating modes.
In continuous mode, once the TEST button has been pressed, current flows continuously through the circuit until the button is pressed again.
Results are captured and displayed every two seconds for the duration of the test.
In normal mode, pressing the TEST button initiates a single test, where the current ramps up, holds steady for the test, and then ramps down to zero over a period of seven seconds.
Auto mode is similar to normal mode, except that the test sequence is initiated automatically when the potential leads are connected, saving time when multiple tests have to be performed on the same piece of equipment.
The cost-effective Megger DLRO200 low-resistance digital ohmmeter is supplied complete with test leads, download software for results, an RS-232 download cable, and a user manual on CD-ROM.
It is available with either a QWERTY keyboard for English-speaking markets, or an AZERTY keyboard for other markets. Request a free brochure from Megger ...
