1.  INTRODUCTION 

BS33 can quickly measure length of any reeled wire up to 30,000m (100,000ft) and with the 
gauges  from  0.15mm²  to  240mm²  (Standard  mode).  Within  seconds,  cable  of  Copper  or 
Aluminum  length  up  to  30,000m  can  be  measured  and  digitally  displayed  without  the 
cumbersome  unrolling  of  cable  reels.  The  BS33  can  also  be  used  as  a  precision  milliohm 
meter. 
 
In User Select mode, BS33 allows users to save the resistance of an unknown gauges wires 
(wire gauges from 0.15mm² to 6.0mm² range); hence to provide reading of the cable length.   
 
BS33 is very useful for electrical contractors, utilities and distributors to control inventories of 
wire.

 Temperature affects accuracy of readings. Please see accuracy specifications. For 

best results, allow the BS33 to attain the same ambient temperature as the wire under test.   
The length of time this will take depends on the ambient temperature. Typically it will take 10 
to 15 minutes for the BS33 to attain equal ambient temperature.
