Thomas Blaster's Ohmmeter

General Information

The REO Blaster's Ohmmeters provide nominal values of circuit resistance on a large easy-to-read digital display.  The user-friendly ohmmeters speed up circuit check-out and provide vital information necessary to assure a successful blast.  Long battery life, rugged water resistant enclosures and heavy duty terminals provide the blaster with a dependable ohmmeter that provides years of service.  The B0199.9-10 (0 - 199.9 ohms) and the B01999-1 (0 - 1999 ohms) Blaster's Ohmmeters are pocket-sized single circuit models designed for general use.  A nylon cord attatched to the case allows the ohmmeter to hang from around the neck for convenient use.  The B0199.9-10 (0 - 199.9 ohms) and the B01999-10 (0 - 1999 ohms) Blaster's Ohmmeters are ten circuit models designed for REO Sequential Blasting Systems and include a special set of terminals for single circuit testing.  The sequential blasting cable is connected to a socket on the ohmmeter thus allowing rapid resistance measurement of each circuit selected by a rotary switch.

Features

Digital read-out to 199.9 ohms in 0.1 increments (B0199.9-1 and B0199.9-10) or 0 to 1999 ohms in 1 ohm increments  (B01999-1 and B01999-10). Automatic turn-on and shut-off. Low battery indication. Laborsaving fast connections for quick hole-to-hole or circuit analysis. Rugged water and corrosion resistant nylon  (B0199.9-1 and B01999-1) or ABS  (B0199.9-10 and B01999-10) plastic case.

Environmentally sealed to operate in most weather. Safety yellow is easy to spot by equipment operators. Easy-to-follow instructions provided on the unit. Fast battery change using readily available standard Alkaline battery. Heavy duty bare terminals accept wires, banana plugs, clips or spade terminals.

Operation

    When using the REO B01999-1 or B01999-1 Blaster's Ohmmeter, connect the blasting circuit to the terminals.  The ohmmeter turns on automatically.  The display indicates the resistance of the blasting circuit.  "1"  will be displayed is the resistance exceeds the full scale range of the ohmmeter.  The ohmmeter turns off automatically when disconnected.  Replace the battery when BAT appears on the display.
   
    When using the REO B0199.9-10 or B01999-10 Blaster's Ohmmeter, connect the sequential blasting cable to the Cable connector.  The ohmmeter turns on automatically.  Rotate the circuit switch to positions 1 through 10, noting the resistance displayed for each circuit.  "1" will be displayed if the resistance exceeds the full scale range of the ohmmeter.  To measure the resistance of a single circuit, connect the blasting circuit to the Single Circuit terminals and rotate the Circuit switch to the Single position, noting the resistance displayed.  The ohmmeter turns off automatically when disconnected.  Replace the battery when BAT appears on the display.

Battery Life

Low battery drain provides battery life of more than 2000 hours of tester operation.
