How is the DLRO10X Different from the DLRO10?
The Megger DLRO10X builds upon the trusted DLRO10 design with enhanced data and control functionality for technicians who need comprehensive measurement management and traceability.
- Alpha-numeric keypad for entering test notes and identifiers
- User-selectable high and low limits for quick pass/fail decisions
- Printer output and internal memory for detailed record-keeping
- RS232 connector enables real-time data transfer or later download to PC
- Up to 700 sets of results can be stored with up to 200 characters of notes each, ensuring thorough traceability for every test
Both instruments are built into strong, lightweight cases that are equally at home in the laboratory or out in the field. Light enough to be worn around the neck, they fit comfortably into tight spaces for efficient testing on site. While the DLRO10 uses a large LED display, the DLRO10X features a large, backlit LCD display with clear digital readout and intuitive menu navigation for faster operation across a wide range of tasks.
