Designed for use on site – in the workshop, on a platform or outdoors – the OM 17 micro-ohmmeter is above all a field device with performance worthy of a laboratory device. Successor of the OM 16, the OM 17 offers improved performance, especially in the case of inductive resistances: With better autonomy, it allows longer measurement campaigns (up to 60 min) at 10 A in direct current and provides faster charging of the wound resistors (stabilization of the measurement <2 s). Easy to use, it measures in 4 wires any inductive or non-inductive resistance with DC or pulsed DC current up to 10 A. Offering a high accuracy of 0.05% L and a resolution of 0.1 µΩ, it covers a wide range of selectable ratings from 5 mΩ to 2.5 kΩ.
Easy to use, robust and well protected (IP 53 box open / IP 64 closed, metal measuring terminals with locking mechanism), the OM 17 is very popular in different industries:
- Aeronautics
- Energy
- Home appliance
- Wire and cable manufacturing
- Telecommunication
- Electronic
- Automobile
- Railway
Wide Fields Of Applications
- Metallization and ground continuity check
- Quality control of welds
- Contact resistance test (low voltage connectors, relays, etc.)
- Electronic components test
- Resistance measurement, calculation of losses and heating of coils, transformers, motors
- Resistivity and length of flat and braided cables
- Railway network, electrical network maintenance
Two forms of current
Direct current
- Inductive resistors, coils
- Automatic triggering of measurements with the use of a trigger probe
- Compensation of the FEMs before triggering of the measures
Pulsed current
- Non-inductive resistors
- Automatic release when continuity is established – 1 operator is sufficient
- Automatic current stop at the end of the measurement
- FEM compensation at each measurement
Configuration and display
All parameters are configurable by the user, from the instrument or by software (LOG OM, supplied as an option): Measuring current, rating, resistance type, unit of measurement, reference temperature, value and state of alarm thresholds, calculations … The large screen of the OM 17 informs the user in real time of the measurement conditions. Any detection of overshoot, open circuit or low battery is indicated by LEDs and messages on the screen. Before each measurement, the electromagnetic forces are measured and automatically compensated for greater measurement accuracy. For non-inductive resistances, a single operator is sufficient to carry out the measurements since the measurement is triggered automatically when continuity is established between the two measurement points.
The user can also program the nature of the metal or its temperature coefficient, the reference temperature to which the measured resistance will be brought down and the ambient temperature. The ambient temperature can also be measured using an external temperature sensor. Usable on battery only, the OM 17 has a storage capacity of 1000 measurements, usable from the device screen directly or transferable to PC via OM Log. Protection up to 250 V is ensured at each measurement terminal, while any detection of overshooting of rating, open circuit or low battery is signaled by LEDs and messages on the screen.
