1 Introduction
With the Digital Multimeter 5017 you are now the owner of a 7 ½ digit measuring
instrument of the newest generation from PREMA.
This instrument is convincing by virtue of its outstanding measuring capabilities and
functional versatility.
1.1 Features
The following features of the 5017 are of special interest:
• Very good stability with only 4 ppm tolerance and annual drift of 20 ppm.
•
Additional measuring functions such as frequency and period duration.
• Temperature measurement with various Pt sensors
(Pt10, Pt25, Pt100, Pt500 and Pt1000)
• Good system capabilities with the RS232 and the IEEE-488 interface
• Large clearly readable liquid crystal display (LCD)
• Standard case dimensions: Half 19 inch width and 2 height units.
•
The 5017SC with built-in scanner for up to 80 measuring
points (80x1-pole, 40x2-pole, 20x4-pole)
1.2 Various Versions
In the standard version, the 5017 is fitted with banana safety sockets on the rear in
addition to the front panel sockets. A scanner is incorporated in the 5017SC. The
scanner connections are located on the rear panel in the form of 50-pole SubD sock-
ets. An adapter card is available (see chapter ‘Accessories’) for connecting the scan-
ner via screw terminals.
Prior to using the connections on the rear, a plug strip connector must be transferred
inside the instrument. The designator "Rear" is then lit in the display.
For the 5017SC current measuring ranges and the 1000V range can be selected only
when using the front panel sockets (maximum permissible voltage 125 Vpk at the
scanners rear input).
