Data Sheet 11,000-Count Dual-Display Handheld Capacitance Meters 830C and 890C Features & Benefits ■ 11,000-count resolution on primary display ■ Bright LCD backlight ■ 0.5% basic accuracy ■ Fast auto range design for rapid, easy component measurements ■ Relative mode ■ Visible and audible tolerance mode: 1%, 5%, 10%, 20% ■ Data ■ Hold and Min/Max/Average recording USB (Virtual COM) interface ■ SCPI compliant commands for remote communication ■ Software for data logging and front panel emulation available as free download ■ Selectable auto-power-off options and configurable power-up state ■ 3-year Full-Featured Handheld Capacitance Meters B&K Precision’s 830C and 890C 11,000-count handheld capacitance meters measure capacitance up to 200 mF. Straightforward to operate, these instruments can make measurements quickly and simplify the capacitance sorting process. Unlike other handheld instruments such as LCR meters that make measurements using an AC signal with a specific test frequency, the 830C and 890C measure capacitance by applying a constant current that briefly charges, then discharges the connected capacitor. Technical data subject to change © B&K Precision Corp. 2011 The meters include many handy functions. The compare mode which supports 25 sets of High /Low limits, provides a convenient means to sort capacitors without needing to set up the meter each time. Data logging, Hold/Min/Max Average recording, tolerance, and relative mode features offer additional component troubleshooting tools. warranty Applications ■ Capacitive component troubleshooting ■ Electronic assembly ■ Component ■ Quality sorting control Flexible Operation A tilt stand provides position flexibility for viewing and operating the meter. The over-molding rubber case protects the meter for better durability. A single 9V battery or an AC power adapter (included with model 830C) can be used to power the meter, giving the user options for portable or benchtop use. w w w.bk prec ision.c om Mo del 83 0C 8 90C Max.
