Information
The Model
8600A is a compact and light-weight digital
multimeter (DMM). It features a 4% digit display,
push-button selection of range and function, auto polarity,
self locating decimal point, self zeroing to eliminate
offset uncertainties, and overload protection for all
ranges. Autoranging can be selected when the ac volts, dc
volts or kiloohms functions are selected. Several options
and
Accessories for the
8600A are available (see Section 6).
Push-button controls allow the selection of five ac and dc
voltage ranges, five ac and dc current ranges, and six
resistance ranges. The measurement capabilities of the 8600A
range from 10 microvolts to 1199.9 volts ac and dc,
10 nanoamperes to 1.9999 amperes ac and dc, and 10 milliohms
to 19.999 megohms.
The front-panel readout features a 4% digit display using
light emitting diodes (LED’s). The display includes a self
locating decimal point and a + or - polarity indicator.
Full-scale readout is 19999 for all ranges and functions
except the 1200 volt ac and dc range, which is 11999. A
blinking 18888 readout indicates that the
8600A is being
operated in an overload condition and provides a test for
all segments in the display.
Front panel input connectors are banana type and provide
separate connections for current, and volt-ohm inputs. Both
the current and volt-ohm inputs are referenced to a common
input which is isolated from earth ground and can operate at
a potential of up to ±1000V dc or peak V ac with reference
to earth ground.
The overload features of the
8600A include a fused current
input and an overvoltage protected volt-ohm input. This
protection applies for any function and range selected.
