– Key Features
True RMS measurement ensures accurate readings on non-sinusoidal waveforms. Low Pass Filter (LPF) attenuates high-frequency noise and harmonics for VFD troubleshooting. ZLOW operates at 2 kΩ input impedance to suppress stray voltages from capacitive or inductive coupling. Smart Ω minimizes leakage-current artifacts in in-circuit resistance measurements. Qik-V detects AC/DC voltage presence without mode selection. Peak Detection captures transients to 250 µs. Smooth Function stabilizes fast-changing signal readouts.
Ergonomic one-handed operation accommodates gloved use. Data logging stores up to 100 manual readings or 10,000 auto/event readings. Optional PC connectivity enables external data management.
– Safety Rating
CAT IV 600 V and CAT III 1000 V overvoltage protection.
– Typical Applications
Variable Frequency Drive diagnostics, in-circuit component testing, transient signal capture, industrial equipment troubleshooting, and field electrical maintenance.
