Product Detail

The BK Precision 5493C is a 6 1/2 bench multimeter that is engineered for accuracy, repeatability and ease-of-use. Includes rear input terminals for rack use.

Short Description

Specifications are based on the following conditions:

- One year calibration cycle

- Calibration temperature TCAL = 23 °C

- Accuracy specifications: ± (% of reading + % of range), valid for TCAL ±5 ºC

- All 24 hours accuracy specifications are typical

- Add temperature coefficient for every ºC outside TCAL ±5 ºC

- For DC: The technical specifications are valid after a warm-up time of 60 minutes, with the integration time set to 10 or 100 NPLC, and auto zero enabled.

- For AC: The technical specifications are valid after a warm-up time of 60 minutes, slow AC filtering enabled, using a sine wave input signal.
