  • Resolution: High precision with 10 μΩ resolution for accurate low-value resistance measurements.
  • Measuring Method: Utilizes a 4-wire Kelvin connection for precise results, eliminating unwanted influences.
  • Data Storage: Can store up to 1200 measured values for record-keeping.
  • Safety Certification: Designed for potentially explosive atmospheres with an “Ex II 2 G Ex ia IIA T4 Gb” designation.
  • Certifications: Prototype test certificate (INERIS 05ATEX0040 ISSUE 04) and DAkkS calibration certificate included.
  • Accessories: Kelvin probe, Kelvin clip, batteries, protective rubber holster, and hard case are part of the package.
  • Warranty: Backed by a 3-year warranty for materials and workmanship, with 1 to 3 years of calibration coverage depending on the application.
  • Indicator Displays:The LCD panel shows precise values with 4¾-place resolution and features two auxiliary displays, background illumination, and LED indicators for contact quality evaluation.
  • Kelvin Connection: Suppresses unwanted resistance influences, ensuring highly accurate measurements.
  • Offset Balancing: Enhances precision in lower measuring ranges with automatic offset balancing through thermovoltage compensation.
  • DATA Hold: Quickly and reliably stores individual measured values, crucial for data integrity during measurements.
  • Auto-Ranging: The milliohmmeter lets you choose the right measurement range automatically or manually.
  • Power Management: It operates on two Ex approved batteries and auto-shuts down if idle for long or if voltage is insufficient, preserving battery life.
  • Durable Design: The METRAHIT 27EX is compact and rugged, protected by a rubber holster with a tilt stand for use in tough conditions.

Features:

  • Adjustment of Shunts in Instrumentation: The METRAHIT 27EX is suitable for precise adjustment and measurement of shunts used in instrumentation.
