The 2840 DC resistance meter features high accuracy and resolution measurements in the milliohm range. The 2840 meter is ideally suited for measuring contact resistance of relays, switches, and PCB traces, typically outside the resistance range of multimeters. The vivid 4.3-inch TFT LCD color touch screen and keypad provide intuitive operation.

The 2840 meter features low power resistance testing (LPR) modes and variable measurement speeds that are suited for a wide range of applications. The handler interface with high-speed measurement capabilities enable the 2840 Series to evaluate a large quantity of components and be integrated into an automated test system.

Intuitive user interface

The touch screen and keys both provide a convenient interface for setting parameters quickly and precisely. Both models also support one touch zoom to enhance the readability of displayed measurements.

Bin sorting function

Quickly sort components using the 3 bins of the 2840. The results can be displayed on the screen or output via the handler interface. High and low limits for each bin can be set up in absolute or tolerance mode.

Remote PC control

Integrate your DC resistance meter into an automated test system and control it from a PC using commands via the RS232 or USB interface.

LPR (Lower Power Resistance) measurement

In standard resistance measurement mode (LPR OFF), the large drive current (1 A max.) may damage sensitive components or circuits. LPR mode protects the DUT by limiting the maximum power being applied.

Offset voltage compensation (OVC)

OVC switches the polarity and averages the forward and reverse polarity readings. This enables accurate measurements by minimizing the adverse effects of thermal EMFs or small biases in a circuit (e.g., from a capacitor’s dielectric absorption when measuring a PCB trace).
