Micro-Ohmmeter Low Resistance Tester Works in Real-Time, 2 in a Series

By DE Editors

The New Wahl RM116 Micro-Ohmmeter from Wahl Instruments Inc. (Asheville, NC) is a low resistance tester designed for maintenance departments, workshops, and field use that can perform measurements on inductive and non-inductive resistances with a DC current.

Rugged and easy to use, the Wahl RM116's large interactive display informs the operator in real time about the type of measurement, range, calculation conditions, thresholds status and values. it is designed for harsh conditions in a hard Pelicase type case with plastic washable keyboard and key-locked measurement plugs. It has four measurement wires providing the highest accuracy.

Other features include automatic measurement in noninductive resistance mode, and automatic triggering when continuity is established between the two points. EMF parasites are measured before each measurement. Resistance is automatically calculated by the instrument taking into account measurement value, ambient temperature, metal temperature coefficient, and reference temperature.

All parameters are programmable; 1000 measurements are identified by numbers, memory reading on the display, and it is powered by quick charge NiMh batteries. Temperature compensation, manually keyed or measured by Pt100. Resolution: 0.1°C, accuracy ± 0.5°C. Sensor is connected on the keyboard or through a cable.
