Overview
The RM2611 Electrode Resistance Meter is the instrument
component of the RM2610 Electrode Resistance
Measurement System. It is designed to be used with
the RM9003 Press Unit, RM9004 Test Fixture, RM9005
Connection Cable, and RM2612 Resistance Calculation
Software in order to measure potential distribution on
electrode sheets. The RM2611 Electrode Resistance
Meter cannot be used by itself. The instrument’s settings
and operation are controlled by the RM2612 Resistance
Calculation Software. (For more information about wiring
and connections, see the RM2610 Electrode Resistance
Measurement System’s instruction manual.)
