Ohmmeter Series Type
Ohmmeter Series Type (Product Code: SLE/ME/55) is an analogue meter used to measure resistance in electric circuits over a 0-100 ohm range in school and college physics practicals. Its dry battery cell is fixed to the stand from the bottom side, and the meter is housed in an unbreakable case with a clear front cover. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is a Series Type Ohmmeter Used For?
A series type ohmmeter measures an unknown resistance by driving a small current from its own cell through the meter and the resistor connected in series. The lower the resistance, the larger the current and the further the pointer moves, so the scale runs in the opposite direction to an ammeter and is not evenly spaced. Students use it to check resistors, coils, lamp filaments and connections, and to compare measured values with results from an Ohm's law experiment.
Always switch off and disconnect the power supply before measuring, because the ohmmeter supplies its own current and an external source can damage the movement or give false readings. Take the component out of the circuit where possible, keep measurements within the 0-100 ohm range and check the cell regularly, as a weak cell shifts the readings. The clear front cover lets the class watch the pointer without opening the case.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the Ohmmeter Series Type. The meter is made at the company's licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and goes factory-direct to schools, colleges, training institutes, dealers and importers without a trading intermediary.

Frequently Asked Questions
What range does the Ohmmeter Series Type cover?
The Ohmmeter Series Type measures resistance from 0 to 100 ohms. It suits the low-value resistors, wire coils and lamp filaments used in school electricity practicals; for higher values, a multimeter or a meter with a wider range is the better choice.
How is the Ohmmeter Series Type powered?
The Ohmmeter Series Type is powered by a dry battery cell fixed to the stand from the bottom side. The cell drives the measuring current through the resistance under test, so check or replace it when readings drift or become unsteady.
Why does the scale of the Ohmmeter Series Type read in reverse?
In the Ohmmeter Series Type, the resistance being measured is in series with the meter, so a low resistance lets more current flow and gives a large deflection. Zero ohms therefore sits at the high-current end, and the divisions crowd together at higher resistances.
Is the Ohmmeter Series Type durable enough for student benches?
The Ohmmeter Series Type is housed in an unbreakable case with a clear front cover, which protects the movement from knocks on a busy student bench while keeping the scale visible. As with any meter, avoid dropping it and never connect it to a powered circuit.
Who manufactures the Ohmmeter Series Type?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, manufactures the Ohmmeter Series Type as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct and receive quotations from the manufacturer itself.
Can the Ohmmeter Series Type be supplied in bulk for export?
Yes, the Ohmmeter Series Type can be quoted in bench sets or larger quantities for institutions, distributors and importers in India and international markets. Share the quantity and destination through our contact page or the enquiry cart to receive a manufacturer's quotation.
