PRODUCT FEATURES
2.1 Description
The AEMC® Models 6501 and 6503 are compact, self-contained
hand-crankedmegohmmeters.Theyarepracticalanddependable
instruments designed for a broad range of plant and eld service
applications,suchasacceptancetestingandpreventivemaintenance
ofwiring,cables,switchgear,andmotors.Theeasyhand-cranked

entirerangeforconsistentlyreliablereadings.
Thesemegohmmetersincorporateabuilt-ingeneratorand a con-
stantDCvoltagecircuit to provide astableoutputand give direct
insulationresistancereading.
TheModels6501/6503haveauniqueauto-rangingfeature which
expands the scale by x10 and almost doubles the scale length.

Insulation resistance is indicated with a rugged taut-band meter
movement on a logarithmic scale. The indicator scale is easy to
read.
