A digital multimeter measures two or more than two electrical values. Dealing with multimeters requires care, and therefore, it is best to invest in a good brand that will not explode on you.
This particular HP model provides us with five different functions, such as:
- DC volts
- AC volts
- DC
- ohms
This particular multimeter version contains an internal battery source and can automatically turn off when the battery voltage reaches a low level. The multimeter also has an overload indicator to let you know when the energy is too much.
Sections of the multimeter
The multimeter has four sections which are namely the signal conditioning section, the analog to digital section, the Logic section, and the display section. The multimeter contains six circuits for your ease which are namely the ohms converter, the monopolar reference supply, the data accumulator of the logic section, and the display and power supply.
About the precision resistor pack
The multimeter also contains a precision resistor pack that provides us with high precision resistances. The AC to DC converter has a bandwidth that is composed of two stages. The Data accumulator also processes the logic signals and provides a BCD output that determines the display.
You can operate the device through any AC source that can range from 86V to 127V or even 172V to 254V at 48Hz to 66Hz. As a safety requirement, please ground the instrument panel and the cabinet, do not operate the equipment in extremely low or extremely high temperatures.
Allow the instrument to always warm-up before usage to get the most accurate measurement.
Before buying the multimeter, it would be best to check the type of power Receptacle cord that is attached to the unit and then place the order. Otherwise, you can also notify the nearest service office that can provide you with a replacement power cord.
