Digital Multimeters are a type of measurement device used to test and measure a range of electrical properties such as voltage (volts), current (amps) and resistance (ohms). Using a digital output readout, the digital multimeter is connected to a device and measures typically the voltage and any resistances, giving you an output you can measure. Digital multimeters offer a wide range of AC and DC measurement capabilities to suit a variety of applications. Multimeters are essential tester tools for carrying out electrical work from home renovations to large scale installations.

With the non-contact voltage feature, the device will automatically select AC or DC when the device is within the specified range. When in Continuity or Resistance modes, if meter detects Voltage (upwards 2.6 V) it will automatically switch to Voltage mode. Unit will not automatically switch from Voltage to Continuity/Resistance. User can manually cycle the mode by pressing the large center button.

The IP rating refers to the level of protection offered by the enclosure of the device. The first number relates to the level of protection from solids such as dust, whereas the second digit relates to liquid. The higher the IP rating, the higher the level of protection will be.

This device features an IP67 rating, offering protection from dust ingress and water.

Yes, this device features a continuity check feature.

Yes, an audible signal will sound if the resistance is approximately 50 Ω or less and the resistance value will be shown on the LCD display.

This device is supplied with test leads and two AAA batteries.
