Secondary Laboratory

The Meatest M550 is an advanced impedance calibrator designed for the accurate calibration of LCR meters and impedance analysers. With a frequency range of 20 Hz to 1 MHz, support for four-terminal pair (4TP), four-wire (4W) and two-wire (2W) measurement configurations, and features such as open, short and load compensation, the M550 offers a complete and reliable solution for laboratories and calibration environments.

Precisie en stabiliteit voor LCR-meter kalibratie

De M550 bevat stabiele en temperatuur-onafhankelijke weerstand-, capaciteits- en inductiestandaarden, die worden gesimuleerd met een passief RC T-netwerk. De aanwezigheid van open en short referentieposities elimineert ongewenste invloeden van testkabels, wat resulteert in uiterst nauwkeurige metingen.

De ingebouwde signaalmeter geeft real-time meetwaarden weer op een groot LCD-scherm, inclusief spanning, stroom en frequentie. Dit maakt de M550 niet alleen geschikt voor handmatige kalibratie, maar ook voor volledige automatisering via RS-232 en GPIB interfaces, ondersteund door de Meatest CALIBER/WinQbase software.

Wide measurement range and high accuracy

The M550 supports a wide range of impedance parameters and measurement modes:

> Resistivity: 0.1 Ω – 100 MΩ (4TP & 4W), 1 Ω – 10 MΩ (2W)
> Capacitance: 10 pF – 100 µF (4TP), 100 pF – 100 µF (other modes)
> Inductance: 10 µH – 10 H (4TP), simulated via T-network
> Frequency range: 20 Hz – 1 MHz

Thanks to accurate temperature compensation (2-50 ppm/K depending on range) and annual stability of 0.01%, the M550 remains reliable for long-term use.

Comprehensive testing and analysis capabilities

With the ability to display parameters in complex pairs (Z/θ, Y/θ, Rs/Ls, Rp/Cp, etc.), the M550 provides in-depth analysis for:

> Component test and quality control of impedance devices
> Calibration of LCR meters, impedance analysers and network components
> Materials testing and dielectric analysis
> Electronic circuit research and development

User-friendly operation and connectivity

The M550 is designed for easy integration and ease of use:

> Large LCD display for instant display of measured values and settings
> Automated calibration via RS-232 and IEEE488 (GPIB)
> Support for open, short and load compensation for elimination of measurement errors
> Short warm-up time of only 15 minutes for fast and efficient measurements
