B&K Precision 879B Handheld LCR Meter, Dual Display
The 879B is a handheld LCR meter for checking inductors, capacitors and resistors on the bench or at the repair counter. It reads L, C, R and impedance on a 40,000-count backlit display and shows D, Q, phase angle or ESR on the secondary line. Pick one of four test frequencies (100 Hz, 120 Hz, 1 kHz or 10 kHz) and the meter ranges itself.
Highlights
- Basic accuracy is 0.5%, and series or parallel circuit mode is set from the front panel.
- Sorts parts against 1, 5, 10 or 20% tolerance limits for incoming inspection.
- Includes data hold, min/max/average recording and a relative mode for comparing parts.
- Streams readings to a PC over mini USB with B&K's free datalogging software.
- Runs about 16 hours on a 9 V alkaline battery (1 kHz, 100 Ω part, backlight off) or on the included AC adapter.
