IMPMET Instruction manual Safety instructions • Read this manual before using this measuring instrument. • Only use this instrument as specified in this manual. • Do not use the instrument on live systems. • Always disconnect the speaker lines from the power amplifiers before attempting to perform a measurement.
INSTALLER TOOLS Product overview • True impedance measurement of loudspeakers and speaker lines up to 2000 ohms at 330 Hz. Measuring frequency optimized for real life impedance measurements on Lo-Z and 100 volt speaker lines. • Three test ranges: 0-20, 200 and 2000 ohms. • Battery powered, uses 6 x AA batteries, long battery life.

INSTALLER TOOLS • E xample: you measure an impedance of 250 ohms (Z) in a 100 volt system. The system power = 100 x 100 / 250 = 10000 / 250 = 40 watts. This speaker or speaker line corresponds to a 40 watts load on a 100 volt power amplifier. Note: when measuring 100 volt speaker lines, make sure that all local 100 volt volume controls have been set at max volume. Disconnect the speaker line from the amplifier before performing the measurement.
