The Models 878A and 879 measure capacitance, resistance (of non-inductive components) and inductance. Components can be measured with selectable test frequencies in series or parallel modes as desired. The 41⁄2-digit main LCD displays values to 19,999, and the secondary 3-digit 1,000 count display reads D or Q. Both models can be used in either auto ranging or manual ranging modes.

Measures Capacitance, Resistance and Inductance

Accuracy Compares to More Costly Bench Bridges

Measures Dissipation Factor of Capacitors and Q of Inductors

Excellent for Sorting Parts in Engineering, QC, or Production

Simultaneously Displays Measured Value and Q or Dissipation Factor

Remembers Minimum and Maximum Values

Keeps a Running Average of Tested Component Values

Relative Mode Displays the Difference Between the Measured and Reference Component Values

Tolerance Mode “Beeps” to Indicate Measured Components Outside a 1%, 5%, or 10% Tolerance Around a Reference Value

Selectable Test Frequencies: Model 878A — 120 Hz, 1 kHz; Model 879 — 100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz, 10 kHz

Auto or Manual Ranging
