Probe Compatibility
Virtually any mV output probe may be
connected to facilitate measurements
of other parameters such as
temperature, humidity etc. A unique
probe offset adjustment facility is
included.
Probe Zeroing
Up to 9,9mV
Backlight
User selectable LED backlight with
auto turn off after 1 minute to extend
battery life.
Power Supply
Battery Type:
6x1,5V Alkaline cells IEC LR6 type
Battery Life:
Typically Up to 4000 5-second tests.
Auto Shut Off
The BMM500 series feature a
selectable auto shut off facility which
turns the instrument off after
approximately 5 minutes, (12minutes
for insulation ranges), to conserve
battery life. This can be extended by
the user to 60 minutes.
Safety
The BMM500 series complies with
the latest international directives
concerning safety and
electromagnetic compatibility.
The instruments meet the
requirements for double insulation to
