6485 CAL DU

The 6485 CAL DU from Keithley is a high resolution bus programmable 5.5 digit picoammeter. It combines Keithley’s expertise in sensitive current measurement instrumentation with enhanced speed and a robust design. With eight current measurement ranges and high speed autoranging, this cost effective instrument can measure currents from 2nA to 20mA, taking measurements at speeds up to 1000 readings per second. The model 6485’s 10fA resolution and superior sensitivity make it well suited for characterizing low current phenomena while its 20mA range lets it measure currents high enough for applications such as measuring 4-20mA sensor loops. Although it employs the latest current measurement technology, it is significantly less expensive than other instruments that perform similar functions, such as optical power meters, competitive picoammeters, or user designed solutions. It conforms to European union directive 89/336/EEC, EN61326-1, European union directive 73/23/EEC, EN61010-1.

Applications

Test & Measurement

Contents

6485 picoammeter with line cord, Low noise cable with male BNC on both ends (model 4801), Protective BNC shield/cap (CAP-18), Banana lead to screw terminal adapter (model CA-186-1B), Certificate of calibration, User manual, Manual Addenda, Product information CD-ROM that contains PDFs of the user’s and instruction manuals.

Warnings

The maximum safe voltage between picoammeter LO and chassis ground (common mode voltage) is 42V. The 6485 does not internally limit the LO to chassis voltage. Exceeding 42V can create a shock hazard.

Notes

Before plugging in the power cord, make sure that the front panel power switch is in the off (O) position.
