Aoip OM 16 Onsite 10 A micro-Ohmmeter

Designed for field use as well indoor as outdoor, OM 16 onsite micro-ohmmeter performs 4-wire measurements of inductive and non-inductive resistances with continuous, pulse or AC measuring current up to 10 A. Offering a high accuracy of 0.05 % and resolution of 0.1 µ?, it works over a large selectable range of resistances from 5 m? up to 2.5 K?.

All parameters are user-programmable, either directly through the instrument interface or via Log OM software delivered in option: measuring current, range, unit, alarmes, automatic average function, absolute autozero. Before every measurement, EMFs are measured and automatically removed for a greater accuracy of measurements. For non-inductive resistances, a single operator is enough to perform the measurement since it will be automatically triggered once continuity is established between the two points.

The user can also set the metal nature or its temperature coefficient, the reference temperature and the ambient temperature. The ambient temperature might be also measured by an external temperature probe.

2 alarm thresholds are programmable and either notified by a signal displayed on the screen, a light or a loud beeper.

The large interactive display of OM 16 informs in real time the operator about the type of measurement, range, calculation conditions and threshold values.

Battery-powered, OM16 has a high storage capacity of 1,000 measurements to be read directly on the display or via Log OM software or printer available in option.

Protection up to 250 V is ensured at every measurement terminal, while any overrange, open circuit or empty battery signal detected is notified by LEDs and messages displayed.
