Hioki Upgrades Resistance Meter to RM3548-50 with User-Friendly Design and Instant Connectivity

Hioki announces release of the RM3548-50 Resistance Meter, designed specially for the growing electric vehicle (EV) maintenance market. As the successor to the highly regarded model RM3548, the RM3548-50 comes equipped with advanced features such as protective casing, Bluetooth® connectivity, and specialized probes (sold separately) for EV maintenance.

Resistance measurement plays a critical role in EV maintenance by ensuring the integrity of electrical and mechanical connections in key components, such as screw fastenings and welded joints. The new RM3548-50 is engineered to streamline this essential task, offering improved efficiency and reliability for maintenance professionals. With its enhanced capabilities, the RM3548-50 is poised to contribute to the rapid advancement of the EV industry, supporting the increasing demand for high-quality, efficient maintenance solutions.

EV maintenance often requires work in tight, dimly lit spaces, such as under the vehicle body. The RM3548-50 is designed to handle these tough conditions with ease. It features a protective casing that safeguards both the measuring instrument and the vehicle from potential impacts in confined areas. Additionally, the instrument's backlit display ensures that measurement values can be easily and clearly read, even in dark environments, providing technicians with both safety and reliability during critical tasks.

Traditionally, EV maintenance technicians had to manually record data or transfer it to a PC, adding time and effort to the process. The RM3548-50 addresses this by offering a communication function through the optional Z3210 Bluetooth® communication module (sold separately, more info).
