Testo | Digital Multimeters

Through the purchase of a multimeter you will get a powerful multiple measuring instrument that can be used for current and voltage measurements. It is possible to go from direct to alternating current measurements, as well as it can be used to measure electrical resistance. The multimeter has also some additional functions. Measured quantities are recognized and selected automatically based on the occupation of the sockets. The function buttons are easy to use and the outcomes are shown on the display clearly.

It doesn’t matter whether the multimeter is used to measure voltage or other values; its multiple areas of application make this instrument essential within the electronics industry. In fact it can be employed both in professional electronics and for amateur use.

Benefits of Testo multimeter

Automatic detection and selection of the measurements parameters
Easy performance through function buttons and wide enlightened display
It measures the real and effective TRMS value

Measuring tasks of digital multimeters

A Testo digital multimeter is an all-rounder instrument that will assist you for every measuring task in the electric field. It recognizes automatically the measurements parameters and it will provide precise data and a better safety, regardless of the application area. Thanks to the detection of the actual data, users will always be informed about the exact situation of the electronic components.

Before starting a measurement, users should become familiar with the instrument and check cables and sockets. The easy-to-use enlightened buttons consent an extremely comfortable lead of the multimeter, using just one hand. Even the reduced weight of 340 gr is an important benefit. With Testo multimeters, the integrated technology and operational reliability are perfectly attuned to one another:

Numerous instrument functions,
Large measuring range,
High level of accuracy,
Safety certifications – TÜV; CSA; CE.

Using the multimeter to measure voltage – and carry out other measuring tasks

The measurement of basic electrical parameters becomes child’s play with the multifunction instrument. However, operation may be somewhat more complex, depending on the requirements in terms of electrical measuring tasks. The comprehensive measuring range enables testing of the current strength up to the μA range. Regardless of the measuring value, the instrument provides extremely accurate results. Amongst other things, the multifunction instrument is suitable for use as a:

current and voltage tester
resistance measuring instrument
capacitance and frequency measuring instrument
temperature measuring instrument (an adapter is required)

How to measure current with the multimeter

The current strength is measured in amperes and indicates what electrical charge flows through the defined area in a given period of time. Instruments such as the clamp meter are used for the measurement, while the multimeter is employed to measure direct and alternating current.

This is how to proceed when you are measuring current with the multimeter:

set the measuring range (start in the high measuring range if the values are unknown),
activate and open the electric circuit,
apply the measuring cables and close the electric circuit again,
the ampere value is measured and shown on the multimeter display.
