IX 3131 II - 7
2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This 10,000-count Bench type L/C/R meter is a special microprocessor-controlled meter for
measuring functions of inductance, capacitance and resistance. Extremely simple to
operate, the instrument not only takes absolute parallel mode measurements, but is also
capable of series mode measurement. The meter provides direct and accurate
measurements of inductors, capacitors and resistors with dual testing frequencies of 120Hz
and 1KHz. It is selectable for auto and manual ranging.
Front panel pushbuttons maximize the convenience of function and feature selection such
as data hold; maximum, minimum and average record mode; relative mode; tolerance
sorting mode; frequency and L/C/R selection.
A tilt stand provides position flexibility for viewing and operating the meter.
Line voltages AC 100/120/220/240V 50/60Hz are available in IX 3131.
