The AE-780 Resistance Meter is an easy
-
to
-
use tester for measuring surface
resistance. When used with the AE-781 Accessory Kit, the AE-780 Resistance Meter is
a dependable audit kit for conductive and dissipative surfaces. This meter is designed
for use in all facets of material production including engineering, maintenance, quality
control, incoming inspection, manufacturing and research, or in sales departments for
the testing of anti
-
static mats, floor finishes, paints, wrist straps, smocks, footwear,
bags and containers.
When using the built
-
in probes, the meter’s test values for surface resistivity are in
ohms per square (although they are displayed in ohms). When using the external 5
-
lb
probes, the meter’s test values for resistance are in ohms.
The test value is indicated on the LED display. Half decades provide greater accuracy
by giving a closer approximation to the measurement value. An LED will brighten to the
according test result. Colors signify the test value’s function.
