Digital Manual Range Multimeter - 32 Position
This portable digital multimeter is an inexpensive tool for electrical testing in the home, field, or laboratory. The manual dial allows for 32 different ranges to adapt the multimeter to the appropriate measurements. The four input jacks are protected against overload, so you can be assured that this tester will be a reliable tool. This multimeter tests AC/DC voltage and current, resistance, capacitance and diode continuity. It also provides a transistor test. The LCD screen is adjustable for enhanced viewing. This multimeter will produce an accurate reading you can trust.

Q: How should I decide what meter to buy?
A: You must first decide what you need it for. Choosing a multimeter depends on what tests you want to run and what level of power or voltage your test will need to accommodate.
Q: What are the basic things a multimeter measures?
A: Voltage Current and Resistance
Q: What is the difference between auto-ranging and manual ranging multimeters?
A: Manual range meters offer a different value range for each measurement function. They are a little more involved than an Auto range multimeter because you have to choose the range. An Auto-range multimeter automatically chooses the appropriate range when you switch the dial to the measurement function you want.
Q: Why would I have more than one multimeter?
A: A lot of times you want to measure current and voltage at the same time and you need two meters to do so. Having two meters can also help keep the meters up to date in regards to accuracy. You can compare them once in a while to see if either of the meters has drifted.
Q: How do I know my multimeter is safe for my usage?
A: If you are dealing with battery-powered 9-volt circuits or something similar an economic meter will be a sufficient choice. However if you are dealing with high voltage or high power related tests you want to step up to a more professional meter. It could be very dangerous to work with an economic meter on high power jobs.
Q: What kind of test leads should I use with my multimeter?
A: Test leads are just as important as the multimeter itself. The economic test leads will be suitable for lower power related tests. If you are going to be dealing with high voltage it is important to have good professional-grade leads. Make sure that the probes have finger guards to keep you from slipping and touching the metal. Good quality test leads will have high voltage insulation. Another feature to include on high voltage testing is shrouded banana probes so that there is no way you can touch any exposed metal.
Q: How is accuracy determined?
A:
Counts | Digits | % Accuracy |
2000 | 3 ½ | 0.5% |
3000 | 0.33% | |
4000 | 0.25% | |
6000 | 3 ¾ | 0.17% |
10000 | 0.1% | |
20000 | 4 ½ | 0.05% |
