Review: Great LCR meter - BK has really out did themselves with this meter. It works just fine and is easy to calibrate. It did not take very long to figure out what all the buttons did. I really think it was worth the money as it paid for its self quickly the first week just testing capacitors alone. If you are looking for a nice well made easy to use LCR meter, this is it. I am happy with this purchase. Review: Great meter - This meter is getting a work out since I do a lot of testing for component failures such as leaky caps and inducts as well as resistance. It never failed me to pin point out the bad parts that were once difficult to find. Now this makes it a cinch and in less time. Grest meter does what its suppose to do.. ## Features - Price For: Each External Height: 190mm External Width: 90mm External Depth: 41mm Weight: 330g Kit Contents: Banana to Alligator Test Leads, 9V Battery, Mini USB Interface Cable, AC Adapter (879B only) RoHS Compliant: NA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004O8Z8E2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #275,650 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #33 in LCR Meters | | Brand Name | B&K Precision | | Color | Blue | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (40) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00817050087925 | | Included Components | 879B | | Item Dimensions | 1.61 x 3.54 x 7.48 inches | | Item Weight | 0.33 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | B&K Precision Corporation | | Measurement Type | LCR Meter | | Minimum Operating Voltage | 9 Volts (DC) | | Model | 879B | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Specification Met | RoHS | | Style Name | Electronic | | UPC | 094713993605 817050087925 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Upper Temperature Rating | 104 Degrees Fahrenheit | ## Product Details - **Brand:** B&K Precision - **Color:** Blue - **Item Weight:** 0.33 Kilograms - **Power Source:** Battery Powered - **Style:** Electronic ## Images ![B&K Precision 879B Dual Display Handheld Deluxe Universal LCR Meter with Backlit Display - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61IqwrWXAVL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is there an instrument cover for this meter** A: No **Q: Can I use this for in-circuit capacitor testing?** A: Results measured in circuit with this unit will be impacted by adjacent components, which may influence the accuracy of measurements. We do have a meter designed for in-circuit testing of capacitors: In-Circuit ESR Tester Model 881. **Q: What accessories come with the b&k 879b lcr meter** A: Hello,Thank you for your message.Accessories included:Red & Black Banana to Alligator Test Leads9V BatteryMini USB interface CableInstruction ManualAC AdapterIf you have any further questions feel free to contact us and thank you for visiting our store front. **Q: Does it come with Calibration Certificate?** A: Mine did not.
