The LC Meter HM8018 offers a number of features uncommon for an instrument of its price range. Measured values are displayed on a 3 1/2 - digit LED with a basic accuracy of 0.5%. Measurements are performed at a 2 per second rate. Due to use of 3 oscillator frequencies, which automatically switch upon range selection, the instrument always operates at the optimum test frequency.
Besides L and C measurements, series and parallel components of inductances and capacitances can be determined with the HM8018, providing easy evaluation of the quality or dissipation factors of the components under test. A special measurement technique allows separation of real and imaginary components up to a phase angle of 45° with an accuracy of ≤1%. The high degree of resolution, 10m Ohm / 0.01µS ensures precise and reliable test results.
The accuracy and operability of the HM8018 make it ideal for use in virtually every area of electronic technology, including quality control and laboratory applications. The low number of operating controls ensures that even non-technical personnel can perform accurate measurements after only brief instruction.
