The Voltcraft VC 151 handheld multimeter is your universal multimeter for many measurement tasks and replaces the predecessors (VC-155 and VC-165). The device has an automatic range selection and a temperature measurement with K-type sensor.In addition, this device has a battery tester for 1.5V, 9V and 12V batteries.Razor-sharp display Impressive, clearly readable EBTN display in Heller environment as well as also in darkness. With 5.6 cm (2.2 inch) display diagonal, all digits and symbols are displayed much larger and reading errors are avoided. Display and key protectionSubtly incorporated edges protect the display, the rotary switch and all keys.A elaborately produced 2-component housing with integrated soft rubber protection not only provides grip, but also protects the measuring device even in harder applications.Anti-tippingThe broad base made of soft rubber provides for a much more stability with the foot folded out. Non-slipLying and standing with connected measuring lines - the measuring device remains in position. When stored without test leads, the rubberized edge protection prevents slipping even when the measuring device is on the display side.Built-in torchThe way in the dark to the fuse box can be found more easily with the built-in LED light.Non-contact voltage detectionAn NCV sensor is integrated in the front of the housing. The electromagnetic field is detected, which is generated by a cable under voltage. For example, you can find the position that leads to an interruption in a squeezed extension cable. Through the insulation.Exact measured values through True RMS real effective value measurementTrue RMS measurement enables reading of asymmetrical voltage and amperage with wave forms other than a sinus. Asymmetric voltages are very common in various types of dimmers, speed limiters, synchonised switches, pulse-type chargers, or scale model speed controllers. Which means that in these cases conventional meters displaying average readings are prone to large measurement errors.Battery testerThe residual voltage of a used battery should be measured under load. The VC 151 has the battery test function, which generates a base load. The voltage under load is displayed directly.Removable protective capsThe measuring tips are optimally protected against contact. If required, a protective cap can be removed to measure e.g. in luster terminals.Wear indicator of the measuring lineThe leads feature two layers of insulation, each in a different colour. If the first insulating layer is damaged, a different colored insulation appears. Ideal for training equipment, in order to change worn measuring lines early.Factory calibration ensures accurate readingsCalibration according to manufacturer standards is part of Voltcraft Quality Assurance. This ensures high quality products and compliance with tolerance limits as outlined in the user manual. This does not include certification.This text is machine translated.
