AEMC Megohmmeter Model 6501

AEMC 6501 Description

The easy hand-cranked operation provides a steady, DC voltage output across the entire range for consistently reliable readings. In addition to insulation resistance testing at 500V, it also permits resistance testing to 500k? and continuity testing to 100?.

A 600V test voltage range is provided to perform safety checks to confirm that the sample is fully discharged and not connected to an energized circuit.

Incorporating a built-in sealed generator and constant DC voltage circuit, the megohmmeter provides a very stable resistance reading.

This analog instrument has a unique auto-ranging feature which expands the scale ten times. When the pointer reaches near the end of scale, the auto-ranging feature activates, returning the pointer to the beginning of the scale with the x10 red LED indicator on.

Insulation resistance is indicated with a rugged taut-band meter movement on a logarithmic scale. The indicator scale is large and easy-to-read, and has direct reading on all ranges. An amber LED on the front panel illuminates when the proper crank speed is attained, indicating the presence of the selected output.
