Item Number:
PSI-870

PSI-870 Resistance/Resistivity Indicator

The PSI-870 is an LED indicating, wide range resistance measurement instrument with broad application flexibility. It measures surface resist-ance in accordance with ESD Association S11.11, surface resistivity in accordance with ASTM D-257, resistance to ground, and resistance point to point. This meter gives simple, repeatable measure-ments to indicate whether a material is conductive, static dissipative or insulative. The PSI-870 employs parallel bar sensing and features an easy to read LED light scale to measure a wide variety of ESD materials and equipment.
