The AEMC®Digital/Analog Megohm­meters are innovative in the design of
multiple voltage insulation, resistance
and continuity meters.

They incorporate the latest measure­ment technology and are specifically
designed to the most recent
international insulation and continuity
testing standards as well as
EN 61010-1, 300V, Cat. II, IEC 61557
environments.

Their rugged construction is unique
in megohmmeters. Aslip-proof and
shock-proof holster is directly
over-molded on the high impact
polycarbonate case. The overall
ergonomic shape fits naturally into

the hand and the two back case
ridges facilitate a firm grip on the
meter. The case is rated IP44
(Index of Protection).

Digital and analog features are
enhanced by a third digital display,
which indicates alarm set point or
elapsed test time.

These megohmmeters offer many
features, such as: automatic detection
of potentially dangerous voltages
when connecting to a sample on the
MΩ ranges (with blocking of any
insulation test if V >25V), protection
against external voltage surges,
enhanced operator safety through
automatic discharge of the tested

sample, automatic shutdown to
optimize the battery life and large
LCD display with easy-to-read
symbols and indicators. And,
depending on the model: bright blue
electroluminescent backlighting, alarm
programming for quick tests, lead
resistance compensation for accurate
continuity

measurements, and display

of the

duration of the measurement

for easy DAR and PI measurements.
