Amprobe AM-530 True-rms Electrical Contractor Multimeter

• True-rms technology improves accuracy in electrically noisy environments
• Measures AC/DC voltage up to 600 V, AC/DC current, resistance, frequency, capacitance, and temperature
• Non-contact voltage detection enhances safety
• Audible continuity quickly identifies shorts and opens
• Diode test to verify diode polarity
• Data hold freezes the reading on the display for further analysis
• MIN/MAX recording records min/max measurements over time to show voltage fluctuations
• Relative zero mode displays the difference between the actual reading and a stored reference value and may be used with any function or range
• Combines user friendly features such as, auto power-off to conserve battery life, low battery warning, a “third hand” test probe holder, built-in test leads storage, a built-in flashlight, and a Velcro strap to hang the meter
• Auto and manual-ranging delivers maximum flexibility
• Backlit LCD display with analog bar graph makes it easy to view results
• CAT III 600 V safety rated

Description

The Amprobe AM-530 autoranging digital multimeter is the multimeter of choice for professional electrical contractors. The AM-530 is a True-rms digital multimeter so it accurately measures voltage on systems affected by harmonics. With its full menu of digital multimeter features, you can use it to: measure and verify the presence of voltage before connecting new equipment or performing repairs; run new wiring; check continuity of electrical connections; identify blown fuses; troubleshoot motors or check transformers. The CAT III 600 V safety rating provides an extra measure of safety for high voltage multimeter applications. Its built-in flashlight helps you see wire colors in the dark and “third hand” probe holder gives you an extra hand when you need it.
