Description
Megger DLRO10X Digital Low Resistance Ohmmeter
Product Details:
The upgraded version of Megger’s DLRO10, this tester is capable of everything the other tester could do and also includes a number of unique new features.
Easily the most useful upgrade is the addition of built-in memory to the tester. This enables users to automatically store test readings and recall them at a later date either on the tester or on a PC, ensuring that extensive analysis can be carried out on one testing point over time or comparisons can be made between different conductor measurements. The DLRO10X also includes an alpha-numeric keypad to allow the user to manually adjust records and the memory of the tester can be sent to a printer to print out testing records.
When testing, the DLRO10 uses a four terminal resistance method to negate the resistance of test leads, thus ensuring measurement accuracy. Multiple test modes are available on the device, including normal testing, auto testing (which applied forward and reverse current), continuous testing for repeated measurements and a special inductive mode for use on inductive devices such as motors etc. The DLRO10X also comes with a unique unidirectional mode which applies current in a single direction (this is designed to speed up the overall measurement process).
The Megger DLRO10 can use multiple ranges when testing. The following table outlines the specific testing procedures possible and relevant data when testing with this low resistance ohmmeter:

This tester also comes with a few additional features including a full LCD display of test results, automatic test procedures to make life easier and the ability to check for noise on circuits and limit testing if excessive noise is detected.
