AEMC 5050, 5060 Data Sheet

5000V Digital/Analog Megohmmeter Models 5050 & 5060

The Models 5050 and 5060, the latest
design in 5000V Megohmmeters, are
the most innovative product in their
class on the market today. The features
and functions incorporated in these
products are the results of many years
of analyzing how megohmmeters are
used in everyday applications. The
most advanced technology available
has been applied to automate and
facilitate the testing process for these
applications.

Many features incorporated in the
Models 5050 and 5060 (not found in
any other megohmmeter on the
market today) include automatic
calculation and presentation of the
Dielectric Absorption Ratio (DAR),
Polarization Index (PI) and Dielectric
Discharge (DD). The PI ratio times are
also user defined. These new
ad vanced megohmmeters display the

test voltage, insulation resistance and
the leakage current during and after
the test. Capacitance of the sample
and discharge voltage present at the
test leads is displayed at the
conclusion of the test.

The Models 5050 and 5060 are
designed with the highest level of safety
features built in. Both units are
packaged in a rugged insulated case.
The Models 5050 and 5060 incorporate
test inhibit capabilities which will not
allow test voltages to be generated if a
live sample is detected. The test
terminals are recessed to ensure
operating safety. The test leads, rated
for 5000V for both testing and
measurement, are the only truly safety
approved 5000V leads on the market
today. The Models 5050 and 5060 can

5000V Digital/Analog Megohmmeter Models 5050 & 5060 (pdf) 02/08 Rev. 07

be operated from an internal
rechargeable battery system or from
AC line power.

The Model 5060 offers additional
functionality in that an RS-232 port
provides the ability to configure the
units from a PC and run the test from
the PC. Automatic documentation of
test conditions and test results
eliminates the need for writing down
information. Test reports can be
generated directly from the instrument
to a printer or through the PC using the
DataView
software provided.

The list of features, functions and
benefits goes on and on. If you are
looking for a truly advanced 5000V
Megohmmeter, the AEMC Models 5050
and 5060 are the best in class and
available at an affordable price.

software for data storage, real time display,

Insulation can be subject to slow, gradual
degradation over long periods of time, as well
as sudden damage. The effects of moisture,
dirt, corrosion, chemical penetration and even
vibration can cause degradation of insulation.
The effects of this degradation can easily be
documented by using the automatic Polarization
Index test feature standard on all models.
Comparing the results over time will provide
valuable information for preventative
maintenance measures.

Key Functions – Models 5050 & 5060

Smooth Function – This function is very

useful when the readings on the display are
unstable and hard to read. It applies a digital
filter to the displayed readings to smooth out
the presentation. It does not effect the
measurement or recording of data.

Alarm Function – Allows for the setting of a

low limit resistance value for each test voltage,
below which a buzzer will sound alerting you to
a problem condition.

Selectable Voltage – Provides the flexibility

to program an exact voltage for a specific test
to any voltage from 40 to 5100V in 10V
increments. The Model 5070 also allows for
storage of three different voltage selections.

Test Voltage Lock-out – Gives the flexibility

to limit the maximum output test voltage to
any value from 40 to 5100V to protect delicate
equipment from accidental exposure to
excessive test voltages.

Timer Function – Program a test run time

from one minute to 50 hours.

Key Functions – Model 5060

Record Function – provides the option to

automatically store the data from a timed test
at programmable intervals or to store the
results of the test manually at the push of
a button at the end of the test.

Print Function – Provides a direct print

out to a printer of test results in a predefined
format.
