Many years of experience, proven technology and the use of proven materials, these factors form the basis of the modular resistance decade system of the 1440 series. The system consists of 9 single decades in the range of 10 x 0.1 Ω to 10 x 10 MΩ, 2 appropriate housings designed to accommodate a connection module each and 4 or 9 decade modules respectively. Dummy modules serve to fill the empty space if not all decade modules are placed in the housing.
An encapsulated switch and the decade resistors are cast in a plastic housing. Start and end of each decade as well as the root of the switch lead to plugs and terminal sockets respectively. The latter are according to DIN specification. Each individual decade module can thus be used either as an variable resistor or a voltage divider. The high-quality stepping switch, carefully fabricated precision resistors out of own manufacturing line and proven technology warrant the desired high degree of reliability and stability. No maintenance, no servicing is needed.
