High-performance, portable oscilloscopes

Repairs in no time at all Paul Clark has been appointed head of SEW EURODRIVE ’s Repair Service Centre. Clark explains that all units that can be repaired are passed onto the Repair Service Centre, or the Sales Department if a quotation is required for a new replace- ment unit. In addition, any equipment that breaks down or requires attention on-site is attended to by the Field Service Department. Effective and efficient repairs are an integral part of the OEM’s Zero Defects drive, with Clark also having given significant input on the assembly line at the Johannesburg manufacturing facility. The Repair Service Centre is flexible enough in that it can turn a repair around in a single afternoon, if required. They have to be very responsive, especially if you take into account an important client such as a brewery or manufacturing plant,

Fluke, represented locally by the Comtest Group , has on offer the high- performance portable oscilloscopes with two or four independently insulated input channels, an IP51 dust and drip waterproof rating and a CAT III 1000V/CAT IV 600V safety rating. Users can choose from 500 MHz, 200 MHz, 100 MHz or 60 MHz bandwidth models. Especially designed for plant maintenance engineers, there is a choice of either a 2- or 4- channel scope for the harsh conditions or industrial electronics. A 5 000 count digital multimeter (DMM) is included in the 2- channel models. The 190 Series II has up to four independent floating isolated inputs, up to 1 000V and a real time sampling of up to 5 GS/s (depending on model and chan- nels used). Frequency spectrum using FFT-analysis and automatic capture and REPLAY of 100 screens, as well as a deep memory of 10 000 points per trace waveform capture (scope mode), are all features of this new generation oscilloscope.THE 190 Series II has an impressive seven hours
