Test Equipment Solutions Datasheet
Test Equipment Solutions Ltd specialise in the second user sale, rental and distribution of
quality test & measurement (T&M) equipment. We stock all major equipment types such as
spectrum analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, power meters, logic analysers etc from
all the major suppliers such as Agilent, Tektronix, Anritsu and Rohde & Schwarz.
We are focused at the professional end of the marketplace, primarily working with customers
for whom high performance, quality and service are key, whilst realising the cost savings that
second user equipment offers. As such, we fully test & refurbish equipment in our in-house,
traceable Lab. Items are supplied with manuals, accessories and typically a full no-quibble 2
year warranty. Our staff have extensive backgrounds in T&M, totalling over 150 years of
combined experience, which enables us to deliver industry-leading service and support. We
endeavour to be customer focused in every way right down to the detail, such as offering free
delivery on sales, covering the cost of warranty returns BOTH ways (plus supplying a loan
unit, if available) and supplying a free business tool with every order.
As well as the headline benefit of cost saving, second user offers shorter lead times, higher
reliability and multivendor solutions. Rental, of course, is ideal for shorter term needs and
offers fast delivery, flexibility, try-before-you-buy, zero capital expenditure, lower risk and off
balance sheet accounting. Both second user and rental improve the key business measure of
Return On Capital Employed.
We are based near Heathrow Airport in the UK from where we supply test equipment
worldwide. Our facility incorporates Sales, Support, Admin, Logistics and our own in-house
Lab.
All products supplied by Test Equipment Solutions include:
- No-quibble parts & labour warranty (we provide transport for UK mainland addresses).
- Free loan equipment during warranty repair, if available.
- Full electrical, mechanical and safety refurbishment in our in-house Lab.
- Certificate of Conformance (calibration available on request).
- Manuals and accessories required for normal operation.
- Free insured delivery to your UK mainland address (sales).
- Support from our team of seasoned Test & Measurement engineers.
- ISO9001 quality assurance.

Measurement Accuracy
Agilent 4339B test conditions*:
1. Warm up time: ≥30 minutes
2. Ambient temperature: 23 °C ± 5 °C
3. Test cable length: ≤1.5 meters
4. Open error correction performed
5. Long measurement time setting
6. Contact check: off
Accuracy parameters:
Rm: Measured resistance value in W
Im: Measured current value in
amperes
Vs: Source voltage in volts
Vo: 0.1 V@Vs ≤200 V, 0.5 V@Vs > 200 V
Accuracy example:
To determine the accuracy of a meas-
urement use Figure 1, “Conversion
diagram”.
For example: determine the accuracy
of a 5 MΩ(= 5 x 106 Ω) measurement
at 50 Vdc.
Rm = 5 x 106Ω
Vs = 50 V
The intersection of Rm running paral-
lel to the 106 Ωdiagonal line intersects
the vertical Vs line at the second row
from the bottom of the diagram. Mov-
ing horizontally across to Table 1, the
following equation is found:
100 Vo + (2.5 x 10-7 x Rm)
0.5 +
Vs
Entering the values for Rm, Vo, and
Vs yields an accuracy of ±0.725%.
