Capacitance of the sample and discharge voltage present at the test leads is displayed at the test’s conclusion. The Model 6505 is designed with the highest level of built-in safety features. This meter incorporates test inhibit capabilities that will not allow test voltages to be generated if a live sample is detected.
AC power plug (direct operation on AC and battery recharge). Back-lit crystal display (see § 2.5). Serial interface male plug (9-pin) for calibration only.
