DESCRIPTION
The Micro-Ohmmeter Model 5600 performs reliable low resistance measurements with
test currents to 10 A and resolution to one micro-ohm.
The Model 5600 uses a four-wire Kelvin bridge method, which eliminates test lead
resistance for a measurement accuracy of 0.25%. A reverse polarity switch
compensates for the effect of DC voltage interference on the accuracy and permits
reading averaging. A built-in circuit filters against AC signals.
This instrument is housed in a sealed field case. Power is supplied by a long-life NiCad
battery with a built-in charger (110/220 V). The large, easy-to-read LCD is 18 mm high.
It displays the value of resistance, and indicates overrange and reversed connection of
measurement leads.
Four LEDs on the front panel indicate measurement faults (open circuit, blown fuse,
etc.); thermal protection; low battery and battery charging.
For operator safety and instrument protection, the micro-ohmmeter is fuse protected at
the inputs. Two fuses, accessible on the front panel, protect against stored energy in
inductive loads.
Enhanced internal circuitry protects against kickback when the current is shut off. A
built-in thermal switch protects the micro-ohmmeter against overheating on the 10 A
range when in continuous use.
