The VOLTCRAFT handheld multimeter VC 171 is your multimeter for electrical and electronic measuring tasks in the compact VC 100 series.
Delta measurement
For measuring deviations of a specified value. This allows you to focus on the positive and negative changes and does not have to reckon with all the time.
Sample ratio
Measurement rate or duty cycle refers to phase angle control, switched-mode power supplies and other digital switched devices to determine the percentage value between ON (pulse) and OFF.
Razor-sharp display
Impressive, clear EBTN display in Heller-environment as well as also when dark. With 5.6 cm (2.2 inch) display screen diagonal, all numbers and symbols are displayed much larger, thus avoiding measuring errors.
Display and keypad lock
Subtly incorporated edges protect the display, the rotary switch and all the keys.
An elaborately produced 2-component casing with integrated soft-rubber protection not only provides grip, but also protects the device during rough applications.
Anti-tipping
The broad bearing surface made of soft rubber provides much more stability when the stand is folded out.
Non-slip
Lying and standing with connected measuring leads - the measuring device remains in position. When stored without test leads, the rubberized edge protector prevents it from slipping even when the meter is lying on the display side.
Built-in torch
It's easier to find your way in the dark to the fuse box with the built-in LED light.
Contact-free voltage detection
An NCV sensor is integrated in the front of the casing. The electromagnetic field that occurs with a cable under voltage is detected. This allows you to find e.g. the position that would lead to an interruption in the case of a pinched extension cable. Through the insulation.
Exact measured value through True RMS Real-effective value measurement
True 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.
Removable protective caps
The measuring tips are protected against accidental contact. If necessary, a protective cap can be removed, in order to measure in luster terminals, for example.
Wear indicator of the measuring line
The leads feature two layers of insulation, each in a different colour. Damage to the first insulation layer reveals a different color insulation. Ideal for training devices, to change worn test leads early.
Reliable readings thanks to ISO calibration
Diagnostics tools used in an environment that complies with ISO 9001 standards require ISO calibration. Moreover, most safety inspectors as well as accredited testing and certification bodies need to use ISO-certified equipment.
