Higher currents still may be measured using an external mV output current clamp. By incorporating all the above features into a single unit the BMM2000 removes the need to carry a separate multimeter. Both instruments in this series feature mV ranges enabling connection of a wide variety of optional transducers. Such devices extend the range of possible measurements almost endlessly including such items as temperature probes, airspeed indicators and high current clampmeters thus extending the scope of the instruments into the HVAC and Servicing industries. The BMM2080 includes two low-voltage ranges (50 V and 100 V) and capacitance measurement capability for telecom and specialty applications. BMM80 The BMM80 offers all the features and specifications of AVO's popular Model BM80/2, plus a lot more! A Millivolt Transducer input accommodates a wide range of probes to allow measurement of additional parameters, such as temperature, current, humidity, pressure, and microwave leakage. Five insulation test voltages, which include 50 V and 100 V tests, combine with capacitance measurement to make the BMM80 fully suited to telecom applications. A power-saving backlight illuminates the display without serious depletion of the battery. The tester comes complete with a switch test probe to facilitate handsfree operation in tight quarters. BMM2500 Series The BMM2500 and BMM2580 include all the capabilities of the BMM2000 Series, and offer comprehensive data storage options with individual test results being stored against user selectable distribution board and circuit references. Alternatively data logging may be selected and up to 300 consecutive measurements of any chosen parameter may be made at a selectable time interval. Data storage is contained within nonvolatile memory (NVM), ensuring that test results are not lost in the event of battery failure or removal. Once stored, results may be recalled to the display, printed to an external serial printer, or downloaded to suitable software. AVO Download Manager™ for Windows is included enabling language changes to be performed, along with the simple download of stored data from the instrument. These files can be maintained as a record, used for manually completing certificates or exported to applications such as spreadsheets and word processor documents. The BMM2580 includes two low-voltage ranges (50 V and 100 V) and capacitance measurement capability for telecom and specialty applications.

MEGGER BMM SERIES MULTI-MEGGERS • Nonvolatile memory (BMM2500 and BMM2580 models) stores data and protects it in the event of battery removal or failure. • Continuous data logging facility monitors slowly-changing parameters and permits additional test such as Polarization Index (models BMM2500 and BMM2580). • The included accessory, SP1 switch probe, allows measurements be made when both hands are needed to hold the probe. • Capacitance measurement range (BMM80, BMM2080, and BMM2580) addresses a critical telecom testing need. • Extremely sensitive insulation resistance measurement (up to 200 GΩ) can detect changes at high levels that may indicate future problems in the insulation. • Insulation measurement result can be expressed in terms of leakage current for end users needing this information. APPLICATIONS Electrical Contractors The BMM Series multi-MEGGERS are ideal for testing electrical installations. The BMM2500 and BMM2580 provide the electrical contractor with the ultimate tool for testing/commissioning fixed installations. The on-board storage capability of the BM2500 series enable each test result to be assigned to particular distribution board and circuit references. Data may be later recalled to the display for manual completion of certificates of test or for maximum performance downloaded to a printer or PC. The inclusion of a backlight ensures that the display can be clearly seen even where the distribution board is located in a dark cupboard without ruining battery life. Up to five insulation test voltages (depending on model) between 50 and 1000 V are provided to ensure that the correct test voltage for the installation under test is available. The 500 V range is suitable for the majority of testing on circuits with a nominal voltage up to 500 V. The 250 V or below insulation ranges are necessary where low voltage circuits supplied by an isolating transformer are tested, while the 1000 V range is used for circuits with a nominal voltage exceeding 500 V and below 1000 V. An additional leakage facility (not available on the BMM80) allows any insulation measurement to be dis- played in terms of microampere (µA) leakage currents. The instruments have a 200 mA continuity range which is ideal for testing the continuity of ring final circuit conductors, primary bonding of services and of supplementary bonding conductors. The zero offset adjustment allows the resistance of the test leads to be ignored so the measurement shown is due to the conductors under test only. 10 µF capacitance range. The low voltage insulation tests are necessary for the testing of delicate components and equipment found in telecom systems that would be damaged by higher voltages. The instruments are designed to perform tests on systems with up to 25 V of electrical interference or crosstalk without the accuracy or reliability of results being affected and with no damage to the instrument. The feature set of the BMM2000 and BMM2500 Series extends to include measurement ranges for voltage, current, resistance, and frequency enabling one instrument to be used where normally a separate multimeter would be required. A wide resistance measuring capability enables a degree of cable fault prelocation to be performed by using resistance to fault methods. Additionally the wide voltage ranges allow accurate measurement of line and battery voltages. Servicing and HVAC The BMM2000 and BMM2500 Series offer features addressing the requirements of the service engineer in a single unit, including the testing of domestic appliances. The combination of multiple voltage insulation test, continuity, and mV transducer inputs cater for the testing of motors, timers, earth bonding, solenoids and relays, valves, and PCB components. Data Logging (BMM2500 Series Only) The advanced data logging facilities of the BMM2500 and BMM2580 enable a log of measured values at regular presettable intervals for any of the measured parameters (i.e. voltage, capacitance, insulation resistance). In the case of insulation resistance, the logging facility enables calculations of Dielectric Absorption Ratios and Polarization Index (PI). The PI is defined as the ratio between the insulation resistance values after 1 minute and 10 minutes. This calculation is useful for determining insulation quality without the need for temperature compensation or necessary referral to historic test data. The insulation ranges are useful for establishing the integrity of the internal parts such as motors, timers and transformers, while the continuity range can verify the correct earth bonding of the case metalwork and check the operation of switches, etc. The option of attaching any mV output temperature measuring transducer extends the measurement range of the BMMs to measurement of water, air, pipe, and surface temperatures making the instruments ideally suited for the servicing of ovens, washing machines, and HVAC systems. The unique mV transducer input ranges enable the BMM Series to interface to transducers for measurement of the various parameters necessary during servicing and in the commissioning and verification of HVAC systems. The multimeter functions of voltage, current, resistance, and frequency find a number of uses in the measurement of component parts within appliances such as the verification of correct power supplies, timer switching characteristics, and component level measurement on control PCBs.
