Hello Group,

in the datron manuals of voltmeters and calibrators is mentioned a special lead kit.
Does somebody know what it is and how it looks like?
Searching internet i can not find anything.

Thank you
Jürgen

Hi,

It likely refers to the low thermal voltage leads with spade connectors and guard, like these:

https://www.calplus.de/fluke-8588a-lead-thermal.html

The red and black wires form a twisted pair and the blue wire is the shield, which should be connected to the guard terminal of the voltmeter.

You need two of them in the case of four-wire resistance measurements.

Best,
Massimo

Hi all,

Old thread, but I thought I’d recommend these: https://www.ab-precision.de/products/cables-accessories/. Great cables, and very well priced.

Also includes the very difficult to find Fischer cable for Solartron meters

Thank you :)

But our country is under sanctions. And regular companies don't sell to us
directly :( Only bypass routes.
