DLRO2
Ducter™ Low Resistance Ohmmeter 2 A
DESCRIPTION
The DLRO2 is a tough, hand-held 2 A low resistance
ohmmeter. It’s designed to provide fast, accurate,
repeatable measurements, even in electrically noisy
locations. The DLRO2 is the latest in a long line of
instruments to proudly display the Ducter™ brand, the
Ducter™ testers being as well-known and relied upon as
Megger insulation resistance testers.
For the utility or industrial user, a high level of safety
is provided with a CATIII 600 V/CATIV 300 V rating to
IEC61010. In addition, the instrument can protect itself
from inadvertent connections to up to 600 V without
blowing a fuse, thereby avoiding essential time lost due to
repairs or finding a replacement fuse.
When working outside, the IP54 rating ensures that neither
rain nor dust will prevent testing.
The DLRO2 measures low resistance values across a wide
range of applications, from railways and aircraft to the
resistance of industry components.
Applications requiring long test leads are not a problem for
the DLRO2 as it has a dedicated long lead test to optimise
the output. The long test lead function is able to provide
up to 1 A of test current into 4 ohms resistance. This makes
the DLRO2, with its optional cable reel test leads, ideal
for testing wind turbine and avionic lightning protection
applications.
To allow testing of smaller inductive loads, the DLRO2 can
apply 2 A for at least 15 seconds, made possible by the
high-capacity built-in rechargeable batteries, together with
a separate inductive load function. The batteries can be fully
recharged in 2.5 hours, minimising down time.
Note: The DLRO2 is not ATEX/intrinsically safe rated and
must not be used in explosive gas environments.

FEATURES
New Difference Meter
The DLRO2 is also equipped with a new innovative
feature called a ‘difference’ meter. This allows repetitive
measurements to be easily compared with an initial
reference measurement. The Difference Meter translates
percentage difference to a needle/pointer movement to
make it visually easy to see change.
New reference measurements can be set at the
push of a button.
