4. Description

The Escola 2 is a meter for use by students to

measure to measure voltages and currents

(both DC and AC quantities) in low voltage

ranges.

All measurement ranges are selected by means

of a rotary dial. Two linearised mirror scales,

graded in a 1:3 ratio, guarantee easy readability

of the measured values.

The trimmer for setting the zero point in the

centre allows the zero point to be set precisely

when it drifts electrically.

AC quantities are calibrated for a sinusoidal

waveform. Conversion and linearisation of the

measurement is achieved by half-wave rectifica-

tion (positive half-wave) using an op-amp. This

makes it possible to acquire qualitative readings

of alternating quantities with signal frequencies

up to in excess of 40 kHz.

The use of a robust moving coil galvanometer

and a mechanically resilient casing make it pos-

sible to use the equipment even under highly

challenging conditions.

The excess current protection of the Escola 2

automatically limits the power when overloaded.

After a brief cooling phase, the multimeter auto-

matically switches on again.
