The ultimate shirt-pocket sized meter!
Only
3/8" thick and less than 3 oz in weight with
full functionality offering
AC and DC voltage to 600 V,
AC and DC current to 2000 μA, resistance
to 6 Megohm, capacitance to2000 μF, frequency to 30 kHz, diode
test and continuity w/beeper.
It
also offers VolTect,™ a
built-in, non-contact voltage detector for
AC voltages.
Another key feature is AutoTect,™
which automatically selects between
AC voltage, DC voltage
or resistance measurement based on
the test point to which the leads are connected. Fully autoranging,
this meter offers nine different measurement
functions plus features that are usually
found in much more expensive and larger meters.
The digital display is oversized with large
digits and unit icons in the display. In spite
of its size, this meter is fully safety rated to
CAT III300 V, CAT II 600 V and is UL listed.
No other meter this small offers such
performance and high safety ratings.
Includes a silicone protective holster, deluxe
carrying case, attached test leads, battery and
manual.
- AutoTect™ feature directs the meter to know if it is
measuring AC or DC
Volts or Resistance
with no user interface
- The AutoTect™ feature has lower input impedance which zeros
out ghost voltages
- Measures AC/DC Current,
Capacitance, Frequency,
Continuity with beeper
- Voltect™ feature is a built-in, non-contact voltage detector
- Power supply 3 V standard button battery x 1 (IEC-CR2032;
ANSI-NEDA-5004LC)
- Automatic Power Off
