About This Product
On its own, the meter reads on two scales with a full scale deflection of 20-0-100 mV or 20-0-100 µA. Fitting one of the separately available shunts or multipliers turns it into a dual or triple range ammeter or voltmeter, so a large range of a.c. and d.c. currents and voltages can be measured. Diode protection is built into the movement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which shunts and multipliers can be used with it?
The range includes 1A/5A, 2A/10A, 1mA/10mA and dual 3.5mA d.c. shunts, 10/50/100mA and 1/5/10A a.c. units, and 5V/10V and 1V/5V d.c. multimeter units. They are not included with the meter.
Q2. Is there a centre-zero version?
Yes. A centre-zero version of this meter, which takes the same range of accessories, is also available.
