Autoranging Capacitance Meter

The Model 890 Capacitance Meter features a large LCD with dual display, 5,000 counts resolution, and 10 automatically selected ranges with full scale value from 0.1pF to 50mF. Designed to meet the latest international safety standards, the meter's dedicated chip and microprocessor allow programmable high/low limits or pre-programmed standard capacitor tolerances, making it ideal for measuring values, inspection, sorting capacitors and testing capacitors against standard tolerances. Optional software and cabling is available for PC based data logging and monitoring. The 890 is a unique value and is indispensible on the inspection bench.

Dual display simultaneously displays value and deviation from selected tolerance
Sort on preset tolerance of 1, 5, 10%
Program unique values to sort for specific circuit applications
RS-232 interface for data logging software available
