Product catalog summary
Overview:
The IET Labs GenRad 1863 and 1864 Megohmmeters are designed for high-resistance measurement needs, offering different operating ranges to suit laboratory and production environments. Both models are built with the same design as the original GenRad megohmmeters.

1863 Megohmmeter Features:
  • Easy to use with a rugged portable carrying case.
  • Charge current up to 5 mA.
  • High accuracy of 0.01% (100 ppm).
  • 200 test voltages ranging from 10 Vdc to 1090 Vdc.
  • Resistance measurement range from 50 kΩ to 200 TΩ.
  • Analog output with 3% basic accuracy.
  • Direct reading, safe, and reliable operation.
The 1863 model is ideal for production and inspection tests, with selectable test voltages of 50, 100, 200, 250, and 500 Vdc, suitable for insulation resistance measurements from 50 kΩ to 20 TΩ.

1864 Megohmmeter Features:
  • More flexible with test voltages adjustable from 10 Vdc to 1090 Vdc in 1 V steps.
  • Measures resistances from 50 kΩ to 200 TΩ.
  • Stable power supplies and feedback voltmeter circuit minimize drift.
  • Guard and ground terminals for grounded or ungrounded devices.
The 1864 model is suited for demanding applications, including insulation resistance measurements for wires, cables, capacitors, and various components.

Specifications:
  • Resistance accuracy varies by range, with specific percentage errors detailed for both models.
  • Analog meter display with a caution high voltage indicator.
  • Voltage accuracy across unknowns is ±2%.
  • Short-circuit current is approximately 5 mA.
  • Power requirements: 100-125 or 200-250 V, switch selectable, 50-400 Hz, 13 W.

Ordering Information:
  • 1863-9700: 1863 Megohmmeter.

GenRad 1863 & 1864 High-Resistance Megohmmeter-1

Megohmmeter GenRad 1863 & 1864 High-Resistance Megohmmeter IET Labs offers a choice of GenRad Megohmmeters to fit most high-resistance measurement needs. Although these two instruments are similar in appearance and accuracy, their opera ng ranges differ to match differing needs in the laboratory and produc on area. The IET Labs 1863 and 1864 Megohmmeters are manufactured using the same design and construc on as the original GenRad megohmmeters.

The 1863 will measure resistance at any of 5 switch selectable test voltages of: 50, 100, 200, 250 and 500 Vdc. This allows for a simple front panel and is a more economical megohmmeter. It is best suited for applications requiring insulation resistance measurements from 50 kΩ to 20 TΩ. The 1864 Megohmmeter is the choice for more demanding applications. It is the more flexible of the two megohmmeters. The test voltage can be set to any value from 10 Vdc to 109 Vdc in 1 V steps and 10 Vdc steps from 100 Vdc to 1090 Vdc. The 1864 can be set to common test voltages for various capacitors. The 1864 can measure resistances from 50 kΩ to 200 TΩ (2 x 1014 Ω). Stable power supplies and feedback voltmeter circuit minimizes drift and time wasting adjustments. Guard and ground terminals permit measurements of grounded or ungrounded two or three terminal devices. Both instruments are easy to use with directreading meter indication and lighted range switch that shows the multiplier for each range and voltage. The maximum current possible at the terminals is limited to 5 mA. A danger light near the terminals warns when voltage is present. The instruments are supplied in a convenient, portable, flip-tilt case that is a stand for the meter when in use and protects the megohmmeter during transit and storage.
