"Our new Model 889 Synthesized Bench In-Circuit LCR/ESR Meter can test components at frequencies up to 100KHz and with a basic accuracy of 0.5%, and it is the most accurate meter of its type on the market," said Victor Tolan, B+K Precision's President and CEO. "It has been designed for both component evaluation on the production line and fundamental impedance testing from bench-top applications. Utilizing the front panel mounted BNC connectors and special test leads, the user can very easily and accurately test a variety of components. And, with the built-in functions of DC/AC Voltage measurements and Diode/Audible Continuity checks, the model 889 can not only help engineers and students to understand the characteristics of electronic components but it can also be an essential tool on any service bench. At a suggested retail price of only $1,395, it is the best buy on the market today."
The Model 889 can be used for measuring inductors, capacitors, and resistors with a basic accuracy of 0.5%. It is defaulted to auto ranging, however, it can be set to auto or manual ranging by pressing the Range Hold key. When LCR measurement mode is selected, the test frequencies of 100Hz, 120Hz, 1KHz, 10KHz, or 100KHz may be selected on all applicable ranges. Test voltages of 50mVrms, 0.25VMS, 1Vrms or 1VDC (DCR only) can also be selected on all applicable ranges. The dual display permits simultaneous measurements. When DC/AC voltage measurements mode or the Diode/Audible Continuity Check mode is selected, only the secondary display is used.
The Model 889 Synthesized In-Circuit LCR/ECR meter offers a large variety of measurement parameters such as Z, Ls, Lp, Cs, Cp, DCR, ESR, D, Q, and A, and a wide range of test conditions including 100Hz, 120Hz, 1KHz, 10KHz, 100KHz, 1Vrms, 0.25Vrms and 0.05Vrms. It features DC resistance measurement, 0.5% basic accuracy, a large, easy-to-read dual LCD display, fully auto/manual selection, and very quick response.
B+K Precision's Model 889 Synthesized Bench In-Circuit LCR/ECR Meter comes complete with instruction manual and is priced at $1,395, quantity one. It is available for immediate delivery.
