Split coaxial lead with alligator clips
A coaxial electrode lead terminated in a pair of alligator clips instead of a fixed pin head, so a Delmhorst resistance meter can be connected to something other than a standard electrode.
What it is for
Two uses in practice. Connecting to fixed or embedded sensors already installed in a structure, and connecting to a purpose-made probe when nothing in the standard range suits the material or the access. It turns the meter into a resistance instrument you can attach to whatever you need to measure across.
Readings taken this way are comparative. The meter’s wood scales assume a known pin geometry and spacing; change those and the number on the screen is no longer a calibrated moisture content. Use it to compare a suspect area against a dry reference, not to certify an absolute figure.
Fitment
- Connects to any Delmhorst meter with an external electrode socket
Fitment detail not yet confirmed
Delmhorst does not publish a specification sheet for this lead in its online catalogue. We have not been able to verify the cable length or the clip rating and we are not going to state figures we cannot support. We have asked Delmhorst for the detail.
Frequently asked questions
What can I connect it to?
Fixed or embedded sensors already installed in a structure, and materials where a standard electrode head will not sit. The clips let you take a resistance reading from something that was never designed to accept a Delmhorst electrode.
Does it read the same as a normal electrode?
It reads resistance the same way, but the reading is only as good as the contact. Poor or inconsistent clip contact is the usual source of odd numbers with this lead.
Which meters does it suit?
Delmhorst resistance meters with an external electrode connector. Tell us your model and we will confirm before you order.
If you are setting up monitoring with embedded sensors, tell us what you are connecting to and we will work through it with you before you order.
