About Associated Research
Reviewed 2026-07-26
Associated Research is an electrical-safety test-equipment brand within Ikonix. Its instruments are used to perform dielectric withstand, insulation-resistance, ground-bond, ground-continuity, and leakage-current tests on electrical products and components. Catalog families represented by the manual collection include Hypot, HypotULTRA, HypotMAX, OMNIA, HYAMP, and LINECHEK equipment.
History
Associated Research's official history dates its test-and-measurement work to 1936. It describes early products including Vibrotest and a battery-operated megohmmeter, followed by an AC hipot instrument that helped establish the company's long-running focus on electrical-safety compliance testing. This history supplies the context for older manuals as well as the later automated analyzers in the collection.
In 2021, Associated Research, EEC, and SCI were organized as brands under the Ikonix name. Associated Research's current portfolio continues the same measurement disciplines through standalone hipot and ground-bond testers, multifunction safety analyzers, high-voltage systems, leakage-current testers, multiplexers, and software-supported production-test systems. The available sources support the continuing brand and product lineage, but they do not by themselves establish a distinct current Associated Research legal entity or headquarters.
