The Hitmate Weapon and Wire Test Meter

This instrument provides a simple, accurate way to measure the properties of electric épée, foil and the wiring associated with electric scoring systems.


FIE rules require that contact resistance does not exceed 2 ohms in electric weapons, and that the resistance of spools wires is no greater than 3 ohms. Simple test boxes only indicate open/closed circuits using a LED or buzzer, and measurement to this accuracy is beyond the range of most multi-meters.


The Hitmate Test Meter measures resistance with a precision to a tenth of an ohm, and quickly establishes whether weapons and equipment are up to competition standard.

The Test Meter has a standard 3-pin socket, which accepts a body wire or floor wire.

If connections are intermittent, the Test Meter gives an audible warning.

A rubber cover is available to protect the meter from falls and knocks.


We offer a certificated re-calibration service to ensure your instrument is consistently accurate.
