LCR CAPACITOR TESTER BRIDGE METER

DB230 LCR Capacitor Component Bridge Tester

DB230 LCR Component Tester is especially designed for high accuracy testing of capacitors on production lines, not least for integration with sorting machines in a production environment. 
The instrument is reliable, user-friendly and easy to set up to any test.
The DB230  Component Tester utilizes an external bridge module allowing the user to install the measuring bridge very close to the measuring Jig.  
          



DB230 LCR Component Tester
This ensures high measuring accuracy. 
Especially when measuring at 
100kHz and 1MHz, cables are main 
causes to noise. 

When installing an LCR bridge on a production 
line, some distance between the instrument 
and the Jig is unavoidable.
 With the DB230, total cable length of up to
4 m (157 inches) is supplied.

The DB230 LCR Component Tester utilizes a well-proven input protection system to protect the bridge module from damages owing to exposure to charged capacitors. This secures that the DB230 does not break down as easily as other LCR bridges, when exposed to charged capacitors.

The DB230 LCR Component Tester can perform dual frequency tests at any combination of frequencies. 
A popular configuration is to test capacitance at 1kHz and loss factor at 100kHz or 1MHz.
As standard, DB230 LCR Component Tester can sort capacitors into bins according to the measured parameters at two frequencies simultaneously.

Bin sorting with up to 12 bins for capacitance for 1st frequency and up to 4 bins for tan d using 2nd frequency. 
Or tan
d may be measured at several frequencies using the 4 bins for different levels of the dissipation factor.

As standard the instrument has a built-in comparator for deviation measurements, IEEE488 (GPIB) and RS232C data interfaces as well as handler interface (opto-coupler type).
All measured data are collectable from the data interfaces.

Via the PCMCIA slot it possible to easily store set-ups to distribute to other instruments quickly, without operator mistakes.
