Rugged portable microhmmeter offers accuracy

Digital microhmmeters have handspike test leads to add increased accuracy to the unit's rugged portable construction and so simplifying repeatable low resistance measurements.
Rugged portable microhmmeter offers accuracy Digital microhmmeters have handspike test leads to add increased accuracy to the unit's rugged portable construction and so simplifying repeatable low resistance measurements. Cropico DO7 digital microhmmeters come with specially developed handspike test leads to add increased accuracy to the unit's rugged portable construction, simplifying repeatable low resistance measurements in the workshop or field. The HSO series leads are robust and easy to use, with a different handgrip design than conventional handspikes allowing them to be held in any position needed for each application.

Offered with a choice of a remote start button for increased versatility and a range of lead lengths, they give accurate and long-term measurement repeatability.

Remote start and operation is possible up to 15m.

Cropico can supply leads up to 100m and clamps as an option to suit customer needs.

Built within a sealed ABS plastics case having a lid and carrying handle, the instrument offers pushbutton selectable ranges of 600mW to 60W with resolutions between 0.1mW and 10mW.

Full portability is provided by mains/rechargeable battery power giving over 1h of continuous working on the lowest ranges and 20h operation on all others.

The latest models also feature input protection up to 415V rms, key-protected digital calibration and a long scale length of 6000 count displayed on a super-bright daylight viewable 0.8in LED with automatic decimal point and polarity indication.

They offer 10A measuring current on the lowest ranges, plus forward and reverse measurement with an auto-averaging provision, with true four-wire measurement eliminating lead resistance errors.
