Product Details
Megger DLRO2 Hand-held 2A Low Resistance Ohmmeter
The Megger DLRO2 Hand-Held 2A Low Resistance Ohmmeter is a rugged yet portable 2 A low resistance ohmmeter designed for fast, accurate and repeatable measurements. From aircraft and railways to the resistance of industry components, the DLRO2 measures low resistance values across a vast range of applications even in typically electrically noisy locations. Despite its handheld design, this ohmmeter features a dedicated long lead test and five current ranges; 2 A, 1 A, 100 mA, 10 mA and 1 mA. Use the long leads to provide up to 1 A into 4 ohms resistance without worrying about unnecessarily sacrificing test speeds. Made possible by high-capacity incorporated rechargeable batteries alongside a separate inductive load function, the DLRO2 can test smaller inductive loads by applying 2 A for at least 15 seconds.
Easily select any of the highly useful features stored within the Megger DLRO2 via the large, tactile rotary dial. Choose to perform a test in either unidirectional mode to save time & power, or bidirectional mode to disregard the effects of standing EMF voltages. The forward and reverse results of this type of test can be viewed on the device's secondary display. The ability to show 3 results simultaneously on the full colour LCD display, with configurable backlight, makes this instrument ideal for 3-phase systems. For added measurement stability, the DLRO2 will even warn the user when electrical noise or noise from poor probe/clip connections is present.
For quick data comparisons, the Megger Hand-Held DLRO2 comes equipped with a brand new innovative Difference Meter. This incredible new feature allows for repetitive measurements to be compared easily and quickly to an initial reference measurement. Set a reference point with the simple push of a button, the Difference Meter will then translate percentage difference to a needle in order to make change exceedingly visible to the user.
The safety features of the Megger DLRO2 are designed to protect the operator from inadvertent connections and ensure accuracy even when used in harsh weather conditions. The ohmmeter can protect itself from accidental live connections up to 600 V without blowing a fuse, and the IP54 rating prevents rain, moisture or dust from disrupting testing. With a 3 year warranty included, this reliable device has a high level of safety with a CATIII 600 V/CATIV 300 V rating to IEC61010. What's more, it comes supplied with kelvin clip test leads rated CATIII 600 V/CATIV 300 V. Minimise downtime thanks to the batteries capable of recharging in 2.5 hours, with as many as 500 x 2 A three second tests from one full charge.
Three Test Modes
The Megger DLRO2 Hand-held 2A Low Resistance Ohmmeter includes three test modes from accomplishing different tasks:
- Normal resistance mode (µΩ)
- Fast/Long test leads test mode (mΩ)
- Inductive resistance mode (µΩ)
Normal Resistance Mode
The most flexible of the three options, the user has complete control of the DLRO2's test features. With normal resistance mode enabled a maximum test current range can be manually chosen up to 2 A, the instrument will then auto range to suit the measured resistance up to that value. This is very useful if the component being tested features a limit to the current it can safely withstand.
Fast/long Test Leads Test Mode
When in this mode the DLRO2 is set for speed, with all settings optimised for the fastest testing possible and if required, the addition of long test leads. The test current is only one direction, resistance is displayed in mΩ and only for currents 1 A and above. There is only one option to choose between, manual or auto, operated by either a button press or when the ohmmeter automatically detects continuity.
This mode is ideal should the user not have much experience with the Megger DLRO2 as there are no settings to change. If the required minimum test current is 1 A, the measurements are needed only in mΩ or long leads necessary this mode will greatly increases workflow.
Inductive Resistance Mode
In this configuration the test current of the hand-held DLRO2 will be set 1 A so as to decrease charge time and the current will be auto ranged up as the inductance is charged. What sets this mode apart is the intuitive auto stop feature, monitoring the rate of change the ohmmeter will automatically stop the test the instant the result is stable. Highly useful for applications such as those with continuity detection at less than 2000 Ω.
