HIOKI Resistance Meter RM3542C Series
The HIOKI RM3542C series is a family of high-accuracy, ultra-fast resistance meters designed for mass production testing/automated in-line testing of chip resistors and ferrite beads. With 0.006% accuracy, 0.9 ms measurement speed, and a wide 0.1 µΩ to 120 MΩ range, it enables highly reliable measurements while keeping production lines running at maximum efficiency. It offers an excellent solution for manufacturers looking to boost productivity.
- High-accuracy, ultra-fast resistance meters, five versions (see table below).
- High 0.006% accuracy.
- Fast 0.9 ms measurement speed.
- Wide 0.1 µΩ to 120 MΩ range.
- Testing current 100 mADC (at 100 mΩ range) to 100 nADC (at 100 MΩ range).
- Open-terminal voltage 0 VDC max. (with applied voltage limit function enabled max. 5 VDC).
- Measurement of DC resistance (four terminal DC, 22-mm pitch BNC), measurement signal: Constant current; measurement speed (minimum time) FAST (0.9 ms)/MED (3.6 ms)/SLOW (17 ms).
- Increase inspection reliability and overall taping machine efficiency with versatile ΔR function (process comparison, RM3542C-3 version).
- Further functions: Comparator (set-value vs. measured-value comparison), BIN measurement (RM3542C-3), low-power resistance measurement, delay setting, offset voltage compensation (OVC), integration time setting, average (RM3542C-3), faulty measurement detection, probe short-circuit detection, contact improvement, current mode setting, stage mismatch prevention, scaling, retry, applied voltage limiter function, jumper resistance measurement support, reset, ΔR (RM3542C-3), memory, statistical calculation, settings monitor, trigger source setting, printer function.
- Depending on version RS232C and GPIB (IEEE488) interface for PC automation and control.
