FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENTCONWAY “MASTERANGER” MULTITESTSET
MODEL 639
Conway “Masteranger” Model 639 is the most comprehensively ranged solid state Multitestset available in the world,
The instrument employs 100% silicon solid state technique and is designed to encompass any measurement
application common to Solid state or earlier technologies
Design concept of this instrument imparts total measurement capability regardless of expected development in
Electronic science over the next decade.
‘The “Masteranger” is the result of five years intensive study to determine most required measurement parameters
and ranges, Many circuital problems were resolved in order to secure implicit stability with constant longterm
accuracy.
Model 639 can be absolutely relied upon to offer accuracy, stability and robustness (indicating instrument and
circuitry) even under severe operational conditions of shock and vibration plus operational capability over wide
environimentals
Input resistance on most voltage ranges is 100M. This, coupled with oustanding sensitivity of 1.SmY AC or DC
(fll sale) and with Curent measuring capability fom 0 1BqA (150 nA) up to 1.5A AC or DC places this
Snstrument into a class of is own,
A really valuable, unique and important feature of the Model 639 is its floating input circuit. This obviates hazard
factor in that the case of the instrument is not connected to circuit to be measured (which could be considerably
above ground potential on its low side). This results in additional measuring versatility in that sections of a Voltage
Divider network for instance, can be accurately measured. The floating input possesses high common mode
ejection. A factor of 90¢B is standard in this instrument,
1.5% accuracy is given for all AC and DC voltage and current ranges. This accuracy will be retained long term
due to the implicit stability of the unique circuitry employed.
Inexpensive accessories are available (see below) to considerably increase these ranges.
A feature summary and full technical specification follows,

of the above system absolutely guarantees long term stick-free operation.
FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF INSTRUMENTS AND EQUIPMENTConway Solid State FET Multimeter Model 639 is a professional, universal measuring instrument for the rapid
testing of AC or DC Voltages, Current, Decibel, Resistance and Voitage Levels. ‘The insirument employs @ unique
front end consisting of several Field Eifect Transistor elements which, apart from imparting high input resistance
essential 32 today's electronics, ensures absolute overload protection. Symmetrical FET. input stages, coupled with
‘over 60dB negative feedback, impart outstanding linearity (reflected in the scaling of the instrument), ultrahigh
sensitivity with outstanding longterm stability.
The large 6” mirror seale Meter allows exceptional reading discrimination and resolution. Colour scales for all
measurements including dB ranges. A centre Zero facility is incorporated allowing the instrument to be used as
erica Senskve, hight input impedance Galvanometer (or dsrminator or any the applations requiring centre
zero capably).
Input Resistance is ultrahigh, 100M2 on all DC and AC voltage ranges (se specification). Symmetrical Field
Effect Transistor input circuits, protected against overload. Pulse overloads to 1200V or continuous overloads 10
high level is permissibie even on the most sensitive AC/DC millivolt ranges. (See specification).
‘The instrument may be energized from self-contained easily procurable batteries or from 115/230V +15%,
50/400Fiz 10% power line. Power Line operation is accomplished by the quick insertion of a modularized line
ower cassette into the rear of the instrument in lieu of battery cassette.
Many optional accessories are available, consisting of an RF Probe with flat frequency response to 1000MHi, High
‘Voltage Probe to 50,000V ané an external AC/DC Current Shunt extending AC and DC current ranges from inbuilt
1.5A range giving extension ranges of 5/15/50/150A AC/DC full scale deflection.
‘The unique technical specificatior of this instrument, incorporating the widest ranges available of any instrument
in the world market, plus outstanding accuracy of 1.5% for all voltage and current ranges, guarantees outstanding
market reception, particularly for Laboratory and general servicing applications. The instrument is ideal for
Technical Education where accuracy, versatility and portability, coupled with modest cost, are mandatory in
professional class instruments,
Model 639 is supplied as standard with a heavy duty bridle leather carrying case complete with both. shoulder
strap and neck strap allowing hands-free operation with instrument suspended from the neck. This feature is,
particularly valuable in field applications such as in Geophysics or Computer servicing,
