The Micro-Ohmmeter Model 5600 performs accurate, reliable low resistance measurements with test current to 10A and resolution to 1 milliohm. The Model 5600 uses a four-wire Kelvin Bridge method, which eliminates test lead resistance for a measurement accuracy of 0.25%. A reverse polarity switch compensates for the effect of DC voltage interference on the accuracy and permits reading averaging. A built-in circuit filters against AC signals.

The large, easy-to-read LCD directly displays resistance measurements in ohms with an automatic decimal point. Power is supplied by a long-life NiCD battery with a built-in recharger. The Model 5600 features an automatic shutoff after four minutes on non-use.

The Model 5600 is housed in a sealed, safety yellow field case with carrying handle and a lid that may be removed during testing.

• The large, easy-to-read LCD is 0.71" (18mm) high directly displays resistance measurements in ohms with an automatic decimal point. The LCD also displays a “1” to indicate range overload, and “–” to show a reversed connection of the measurement leads. Power is supplied by a long-life NiCD battery with a built-in recharger (110/220V).

• The Model 5600 features automatic shutoff after four minutes of non-use. Four LEDs on the front panel indicate measurement faults (open circuit, blown fuse, etc.), thermal protection, low battery and battery recharging. For operator safety and instrument protection, the Model 5600 is fuse protected at the inputs. Two fuses, accessible on the front panel, protect against stored energy in inductive loads. Enhanced internal circuitry gives protection against possible inductive kickback when the current is shut off.

• A built-in thermal switch prevents the micro-ohmmeter against overheating on the 10A range when in continuous use. The Model 5600 is housed in a sealed, safety yellow field case with carrying handle and a lid that may be removed during testing if desired.
