Product catalog summary
Introduction
The DLRO 10 and DLRO 10X are digital microhmmeters designed for low resistance measurement, commonly known as the Megger ‘Ducter™’ test. These instruments are used to measure very low contact resistances and have become an industry standard since the name 'Ducter' was registered by Megger in 1908.

Specifications
Both models are fully automatic, selecting the most suitable test current up to 10 A d.c. to measure resistance from 0.1 μΩ to 2000 Ω across seven ranges. The DLRO 10X offers additional features such as manual test current selection, real-time result download, and onboard storage.

Features
- Interchangeable test lead terminations
- Auto current reversal to cancel standing emfs
- Protected to 600 V
- Multiple operating modes including fully automatic
- Alpha-numeric keypad for entering test notes (DLRO 10X)
- User-selectable high and low limits (DLRO 10X)
- Printer output and memory (DLRO 10X)

Measurement Modes
Available modes include Normal, Auto, Continuous, and Inductive. The DLRO 10X also includes a Unidirectional mode. These modes cater to various testing needs, from simple contact resistance to complex inductive load measurements.

Applications
The DLRO 10 and DLRO 10X are suitable for a wide range of applications, including switch and contact breaker resistance, busbar and cable joints, aircraft frame bonds, welded joints, and more.

Benefits
- Portable and lightweight design
- Four-terminal resistance method for accurate measurements
- Bright displays for visibility in all lighting conditions
- Automatic forward and reverse current application
- Noise detection to prevent incorrect readings
- RS232 connector for data transfer (DLRO 10X)

Power and Battery
The instruments come with a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack, which is interchangeable and can be charged using an external charger. A fast charge mode allows the battery to reach 90% capacity in 2.5 hours.

Ordering Information
Various configurations are available, with or without test leads. Optional accessories include different test lead options, carrying cases, and calibration shunts.

Conclusion
The DLRO 10 and DLRO 10X provide reliable and precise low resistance measurements, making them essential tools for electrical testing in various industrial applications.

10 A LOW RESISTANCE OHMMETERS | DLRO10-1

DLRO 10 and DLRO 10X Digital Microhmmeter DLRO 10 and DLRO 10X Digital Microhmmeter ■■ NEW interchangeable test lead terminations ■■ Auto current reversal cancels standing emfs ■■ Protected to 600 V ■■ Automatically detects continuity in potential and current connections ■■ Multiple operating modes including fully automatic ■■ Alpha-numeric keypad for entering test notes (DLRO 10X) ■■ User selectable high and low limits (DLRO 10X) ■■ Printer output and memory (DLRO 10X) DESCRIPTION DLRO 10 and DLRO 10X set the standards for low resistance measurement, also known as the Megger ‘Ducter™’ test. made with forward and reverse currents to cancel the effects of any standing voltages across the test sample. History of ‘Ducter’ testing The average value is then displayed within 3 seconds, to a basic accuracy of 0.2%. DLRO 10X displays both forward and reverse measurements as well as the average of the two. For over 100 years the ‘Ducter test’ has been used to describe a simple test for measuring very low contact resistances and “Ducter”, which is still used as a trade mark, was the name originally given to the low resistance ohmmeter manufactured by Megger. The name Ducter was registered by Megger in June 1908 and ‘Ducter’ has since become the industry standard. DLRO 10 and DLRO 10X are fully automatic instruments, selecting the most suitable test current up to 10 A d.c. to measure resistance from 0.1 μΩ to 2000 Ω, on one of seven ranges. For users who desire more control over the measurement process, DLRO 10X uses a menu system controlled by a two-axis paddle to allow the user to manually select the maximum test current. DLRO 10X also adds real time download of results and on board storage for later download to a PC. Both instruments are built into a strong, lightweight case that is equally at home in the field or in the laboratory. Light enough to be worn around the neck, they are small enough to be taken into areas that were previously too small to access. DLRO 10 uses a large, bright 4 1/2 -digit LED display while DLRO 10X has a large, backlit LCD display. Normally, measurements are DLRO 10X allows the user to set high and low pass limits, thereby enabling simple go-no-go testing. At the end of a test DLRO10X will store the test results, as well as any notes relevant to the test. To ensure customers are able to choose the best test leads to suit their application, the DLRO10 and DLRO10X may be purchased in one of two packages. The first option is supplied with a pair of duplex handspikes with 1.2 m (4 ft) leads, the second option is supplied without test leads to allow customers to order exactly the test leads they require from the accessory list. The instruments are supplied as standard with a Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack. The battery packs are interchange-able so that an exhausted battery may be recharged using the external charger supplied while testing continues using a spare pack. Although full charging will take 4 hours, a fast charge mode allows the battery to be 90% charged within 2 1/2 hours from a 12 volt battery or from a standard 120/230 V AC supply via the supplied charger. The battery pack contains its own battery state indicator, which allows the charge-state to be moni
