AEMC has introduced two new IEC/EN 61010-1, 1000 V CAT III, 600 V CAT IV, rugged, TRMS digital multimeters with a non-electrical contact testing (NCV) function for detecting live electrical circuits (the display turns red).
Designed for safety, the model 5231 and model 5233 multimeters provide a volt, ohm, continuity and diode function. Model 5233 also has a capacitance, frequency, duty cycle and ammeter function. Both include an AC voltmeter function with low input impedance that is capable of finding ghost voltages by adding a burden to the circuit.
The Model 5231 performs AC/DC direct reading current measurements up to 600 A with a current clamp accessory plugged in, while the Model 5233 can measure up to 10 A directly and can measure temperature in both °C or °F using K-type thermocouples.
The rotary function switch provides two OFF positions (OFF and OFF NCV). While in the OFF NCV position, the display will turn red if placed close to a live cable, providing a safe and easy way to detect hot wires.
Both meters have a high sensitivity with a resolution of 0.01 mV and can withstand overloads up to 8000 V.
The multimeters are suitable for electrical installers, electricians and heating or air-conditioning specialists for general-purpose testing, to detect loose electrical wiring and live circuits and for temperature checking (5233).
