Name: Ground Bound Tester RS36B - < 6V AC and < 12 V AC / 10 - 50 A /1 - 500 mOhms
SKU: 202335

4-wire measurement technology with separate source (current) and sense path (measurement)
The resistance of the test leads to the device under test is not measured.

Start button in the test probe
The defined switching on of the power source after contacting prevents damage to the surface of the test object.

Result display in the grip part of the test probe
For improved test comfort, the operator always has the result status in view without having direct visual contact with the test device.

Monitoring the test current
The standardised test current (minimum value) is permanently monitored, falling below this value leads to a fault.

Key lock
The key lock prevents accidential modification of the test parameters and can be configured individually. For example, all buttons can be locked or individual functions (e.g.calling up test programmes) can still be permitted.

Test device for "stand-alone-operation" or remote control via interfaces
The tester cann be remote-controlled via PC software (DataView user interface), a customised application (Windows DLL, .NET Framework Assembly, LabView via .NET Framework Assembly), simple command parameters (ASCII) or digitally via a PLC (digital IO).

Freely programmable parameter sets
15 freely programmable parameter sets are available for safe and fast changing of test test parameters.

Error message: Acoustic, visual and via interface
Faulty test objects can thus be reliably recognised. The type of fault is also shown flashing.

Individual setting of
Start options, key lock, language and mode selection for external printer, behaviour of digital inputs and outputs, ramp options, options for contact and cable break monitoring, brightness of display elements and much more.

Updateable via interface
For customised changes and updates.
