Wolfgang Warmbier SRM200 Surface Resistance Meter
Introduction
The SRM®200 is a pocket size, lightweight, auto ranging surface resistance tester. Measured values are displayed on an LCD dot matrix module and can be stored in the internal memory. Each measurement includes the current temperature and relative humidity. Built-in electrodes with conductive rubber make good contact with the object under test. IEC compatible electrodes can be externally connected for tests according to IEC 61340-4-1, IEC 61340-2-3 and IEC 61340-4-5.

LCD display overview
Measuring Surface Resistance
- To measure the surface resistance of an object, hold the instrument onto the surface and press the “PUSH TO TEST” button.
- The value is indicated on the display. The coloured LED’s additionally indicate the measuring range if no limit is assigned. If the limit is assigned, the limit arrows on the display will indicate the measured value being below or above the limit range.
- ▼▲ selects the storage folder; OK stores the current measurement value to the selected folder.
Measuring Resistance to Ground
- Plug in the supplied grounding cord at one socket of the instrument. The associated internal electrode will be disconnected.
- Connect the opposite end of the grounding cord to “ground” or a “groundable point”.
- Hold the instrument onto the surface like described above and press the button.
Other Measurements
By connecting external electrodes to the instrument’s sockets it is possible to measure “point to point resistance”, or “volume resistance” for example.
Test values Storage
The included software can be used to transfer and process test values to the computer. The functionality includes:
- Measurement data transfer
- Store and export measurement data
- Print measurement report
- Limit value definition
- Labelling of measurement folders
- Adjust Date and time
Functions
The following functions are available. Most of them can be accessed more conveniently by PC software.
