Why measure gloss?
Gloss is an aspect of the visual perception of objects that is as important as colour when considering the psychological impact of products on a
This instrument is a portable digital meter to measure low resistances over the range 0.001Ω to 200Ω. A high degree of accuracy is achieved by utilising a four terminal input to eliminate errors caused by test lead length.
The instrument is small, light weight and is used easily in one hand with only an ON button to operate. It has auto- ranging, auto-decimal point and auto-powerdown after three minutes. It has long battery life and is powered by a single PP3 or MN1604 battery.
One of the most important features of the Milliohm Meter is its low (5mA) test current. This ensures that the contact being tested is not ‘cleaned’ by the test current which can happen when higher test currents are used. This ‘cleaning’ of the contact under test leads to erroneous measurements.
Included as standard.
Optional extra, supplied as pair of connectors with probes. Part Code: B210-110.
Slide down the cover at the rear, bottom of the instrument. Fit new battery 9V (PP3 MN1604 or equivalent). Replace cover.
The ratio between the current and the voltage drop is calculated by the instrument using Ohm’s law (R=E/I) to display the result in ohms. Four clips would normally be required for connection but this could be tedious so a form of clip is used with the Milliohm Meter.
The jaws are moulded in robust plastic and inset into each jaw face is a copper / silver inlay contact; these are insulated from each other by the plastic mouldings. One contact face on each clip is connected to the current- generating circuit, the other face is connected to the voltage-measuring circuit. In this way four wires are connected instantly by two clips.
The resistance of the connecting wires plays no part in the measuring so no “backing-off” is required as would be the case if a multi-meter were to be used for the same measurement.
