Model 252 / 253

252, 253 Digital Impedance Meters

  • Automatic L, R, C, G and D measurements
  • Basic accuracy 0.25%
  • Auto-ranging version, 253
  • Test frequency 1 kHz
  • Shielded four-terminal connections to unknown
  • Optional rechargeable battery power pack

TEGAM Models 252 and 253 are used for evaluating and inspecting components. These meters provide direct, digital display of inductance, capac it ance, resistance, conductance and dissipation.
They have the versatility and basic measurement accuracy (0.25%), to satisfy demanding engineering and inspection applications, while being extremely easy to use.
Simply push the button for the desired function, set the range and connect to the unknown. True fourterminal connections are ensured by the standard Kelvin Klip® test leads. The measurement is displayed on the large 3½-digit readout.
The Model 253 has all of the above characteristics, an autoranging feature, and includes one additional measurement range for C and G.
An optional battery power pack (252/SP2596 or 253/SP2598) is available on both versions. This allows these meters to be used with line power when available and unplugged when convenient or necessary.
