Endress + Hauser Model 800 pF Capacitance Meter

The Endress + Hauser Model 800 pF Meter is a portable capacitance measurement device designed for precise calibration and testing of capacitance-based probes and sensors in industrial applications. This vintage instrument, likely from the 1970s based on design and serial numbering, features a digital display with selectable ranges up to 20000 pF, allowing for accurate measurements of small capacitances in picofarads (pF). It includes controls for coarse and fine zero adjustments, set capacitance, and probe connections via BNC and banana plugs. Ideal for level detection, material sensing, and probe calibration in process industries like chemicals, food, and pharmaceuticals. Benefits include its compact, battery-operated design for field use, high accuracy for low-capacitance readings, and robustness for industrial environments. Drawbacks may include limited modern connectivity (no digital output) and potential need for calibration due to age. Compared to modern digital multimeters with capacitance functions, the Model 800 offers specialized precision for pF-range measurements without unnecessary features, making it advantageous for legacy systems or specialized testing. Condition appears used but well-maintained, with visible manual and no major damage. Estimated market value is based on similar vintage listings.
