HIOKI RM3546

The HIOKI RM3546 precision resistance meter supports weld-resistance inspection with advanced offset-voltage and temperature compensation. Its path-resistance tolerance helps accommodate test fixtures and switching systems on production lines.

Key Features

  • Resolution down to 1 nΩ with test current up to 1 A.
  • Advanced offset voltage compensation (A-OVC) and advanced temperature correction (A-TC).
  • Active Circuit Protection helps protect the instrument against accidental voltage input.
  • Accepts up to two optional Z3003 multiplexers for 20 four-wire channels.
  • LAN, USB, RS-232C and EXT I/O; optional external switching supports larger systems.

Configuration: Measurement leads and multiplexer units are sold separately. A spare fuse is not included with the RM3546.
