Description
Wahl OM-17 Field Micro-Ohmmeter

- 4-wire measurement of inductive and non-inductive resistance
- Continuous or pulse current, from 1 mA to 10 A
- Precision: 0.05% Reading
- Automatic EMF compensation
- Ambient temperature compensation (measured or programmed)
Designed for field use -in workshops or outdoors, OM 17 micro-ohmmeter is a portable instrument in an IP53 open / IP64 closed housing with lockable measurement plugs, whose performances are as high as a laboratory instruments’.
Replacing the OM16, the OM17 offers upgraded performances, in particular for inductive resistance measurements: Granted with a greater autonomy, OM 17 allows longer test campaigns to be performed at 10 A with continuous current (up to 60 min) and offers faster current loading of coil resistances (stabilization time < 2 s).
Easy to use, it carries out 4-wire measurements of inductive and non-inductive resistance with a continuous or pulse current up to 10 A. Offering a high precision of 0.05% and a 0.1 µΩ resolution, it has a different ranges selectable from 5 mΩ to 2.5 kΩ.
Two Current Waveforms

Continuous current
Inductive resistance and coils Automatic trigger of measurements when using a trigger test probe EMF compensation before measurements

Pulse Current
Non-inductive resistance Automatic trigger of measurements as continuity is established 1 operator needed Automatic current shutdown at the end of a measurement EMF compensation before every measurement
Configuration and Display
All parameters are user-programmable, either directly through the instrument interface or via software (LOG OM, available in option). OM 17 large display informs the operator in real time about the measurement itself and the measuring conditions:
Measuring current, range, resistance type, unit, reference temperature, alarm threshold value & status and calculation.
Any detection of range overshoot, open circuit or low battery is indicated by LEDs and message displayed on the screen.

Additional Features
| Range | Manual or automatic selection Nominal current overshoot: 5 mΩ and 25 mΩ range: +20% |
| Trigger Conditions | Manual or automatic trigger, allowing a single operator to perform measurements |
| EMFs | Automatic measurement and compensation of EMF parasites before each measurements for greater precision |
| Temperature Compensation | Ambient temperature Tamb, programmed or measured with an external Pt100 Programmed reference temperature Tref, to which the measured value is converted: R(Tref) = [R(Tamb) * (1 + α * Tref)] / [1 + α * Tamb] Metal type, by entering its temperature coefficient (α) |
| Alarms | Two programmable thresholds with visual and sound signal |
