Product catalog summary
Overview: The RM3542 and RM3542-01 Resistance HiTESTERs are high-speed resistance meters designed for automated systems, utilizing a four-terminal DC method for precise resistance measurement of components such as resistors and ferrite bead inductors. They include advanced features like contact-check, comparator, and data export functions, with a user-friendly interface and strong noise immunity.
Key Features:
  • Ultra-fast measurement speed, capable of measuring resistance in as little as 0.9 ms.
  • Contact Improver and contact check functions for reliable measurements.
  • High-resolution seven-digit display for precision.
  • Comparator functions for comparing measurements against reference values.
  • Multiple interfaces including EXT I/O, RS-232C, and GP-IB (RM3542-01 only) for easy integration into automated systems.
Measurement Capabilities:
  • Supports both high-speed and slow measurement modes for different resistor classes.
  • Stores up to 30,000 measurements with data export capabilities.
  • Low-power resistance mode for components like chip inductors and EMC suppression components.
  • Self-calibration and offset voltage compensation functions to maintain accuracy.
Reliability and Productivity:
  • Contact checking during measurement minimizes errors and increases reliability.
  • Voltage Monitor function detects contact errors due to voltage fluctuations.
  • Retry function automatically re-measures after faults to improve productivity.
  • Statistical calculation functions for process observation and quality control.
Technical Specifications:
  • Measurement speed varies by range and power settings, with detailed timing provided for different configurations.
  • EXT I/O handler interface for noise immunity and isolated input/output circuits.
  • Recommended measurement cable specifications and available test fixtures for various component types.
Applications: Ideal for automated systems, the RM3542 series supports resistance measurements of chip inductors, EMC suppression components, and shunts, making it suitable for sample inspections during manufacturing processes.
Specifications Overview: The RM3542 Resistance HiTester supports four-terminal resistance measurement from 0.0000 mΩ to 120.0000 MΩ and low-power measurements from 0.000 mΩ to 1200.000 Ω. It uses a four-terminal, constant-current DC method with 22-mm BNC female jacks.
Measurement Accuracy and Conditions: Accuracy is specified for different ranges and conditions, with measurement currents ranging from 100mA to 100nA. The document emphasizes maintaining resistance within specified limits for accurate readings.
Functional Features: The RM3542 includes self-calibration, probe short-circuit detection, contact improver, and offset voltage compensation. It supports statistical calculations, key-lock, comparator modes, and data export functions.
Interfaces and Memory: The device offers interfaces like EXT I/O, RS-232C, and GP-IB (Model RM3542-01) and can store up to 30,000 values in volatile memory.
Environmental and Power Specifications: Operating temperature is 0 to 40ºC with a humidity of 80% RH or less. It operates indoors with a pollution degree of 2 and up to 2,000 m ASL, requiring a mains supply voltage of 100 to 240 V AC and consuming 30 VA.
Physical Dimensions and Standards: Dimensions are approximately 260W × 88H × 300D mm, weighing about 2.9 kg. The device complies with safety standards EN61010-1 and EMC standards EN61326, EN61000-3-2, and EN61000-3-3.
Ordering Information: The document lists the RM3542 and RM3542-01 models, along with optional accessories like the four-terminal probe, test fixtures, and GP-IB connection cable.
