The Model 890B Capacitance Meter features a large 41/2 LCD with dual display, 11,000
counts resolution, and 9 automatically selected ranges with full scale value from 1.0pF to
50mF. Designed to meet the latest international safety standards, the meter’s dedicated
chip and microprocessor allow programmable high/low limits or pre-programmed standard
capacitor tolerances, making it ideal for measuring values, inspection, sorting capacitors
and testing capacitors against standard tolerances. Optional software and cabling is
available for PC based data logging and monitoring. The 890B is a unique value and is
indispensable on the inspection bench.

890B

The Model 890B Capacitance Meter’s large 4.5 digit LCD dual display can
simultaneously display values and deviations from selected tolerances. The unit
can also sort on preset tolerances of 1, 5, and 10%. The built-in chip and
microprocessor allows the user to program unique values to sort specific circuit
applications. Optional software and cabling is available for PC based data
logging and monitoring via a USB interface.
