1040 Resistance Decade Box

Introduction

A wide range resistance decade box designed to meet the requirements of both industry and
education. The 1040 is compact and durable, housed in a robust metal case with removable
protective rubber cover, making it ideal for use in either the laboratory or field. Excellent
accuracy (mid-scale 0.1 %) is achieved by using high stability metal film resistors.
The 8-digit thumbwheel switch enables simple and precise setting with a clear indication of
the resistance value. To make selecting and reading the setting easy the 1040 incorporates
colour-coded digits: megohms - red, kilohms - yellow, ohms - white.
Special attention has been given to maximize the reliability of operation. A special multiple
gold contact switch arrangement ensures that a back-up contact is always available to take
over should a failure occur.
For connections the unit features safety terminals that are compatible with 4 mm shrouded
plugs, as well as standard plugs, bare wires, and spade terminals.
The 1040 comes fitted with an ergonomic rubber cover providing increased protection and
durability. It has a textured grip for comfortable handling, and side openings to place labels.
It is easy to remove if you prefer a stand-alone unit or to use the optional 9026 carry case.
