AlphaLab Model SVM2 Digital voltmeter

The SVM2 surface DC voltmeter is a handheld electrostatic voltmeter that measures all parameters related to static electricity.Its main function is to measure the voltage of a sample or surface without touching it,this is an intuitive instrument which can be used for this purpose immediately.Additionally,it has features not found in other handheld electrometers,such as very high sensitivity.Its resolution is 1 volt at a standard measurement distance of 1 inch (2.5 cm),making the SVM2 the most sensitive non-contact voltmeter available (as opposed to our ultra-stable surface voltmeters,which have a resolution of 1 inch is 1\/10 volts).This additional sensitivity allows the meter to be used to determine other parameters such as ohms per square and discharge time of the sample,as well as the air ion of the room..Static electricity can even be measured on tiny sub-millimeter samples (correction formulas are required due to small sample geometry).The single voltage range is -29999 to +29999 volts in one volt steps and it can detect even a small even at high voltages.There is also a user-settable alarm and peak hold for + and - voltage spikes,all with ultra-fast 0.005 second response.Therefore,the instrument can be used to quickly scan large areas of static sources..It will beep if exposed to voltage above the alarm level (either + or - polarity) for more than 5 milliseconds. The alarm level is programmable from 10 volts to 20,000 volts in 300 levels (also available mute).Then press the \-Peak Hold or +Peak Hold button,the meter will display the maximum negative voltage and maximum positive voltage detected since the last time the reset button was pressed..The peak hold function can also be used to measure AC voltage (approximately 1/3 of the peak-to-peak voltage).These innovations are incorporated to allow operators to effectively see static electricity with greater clarity and speed than before.
