Voltcraft VC252 Hand-held multimeter calibrated (ISO) digital CAT III 600 V display

The VC 252, like all devices in the VC-200 series, is optimized for training and offers a measurement function for 1.5 V and 9 V batteries. It features an impressive, easily readable EBTN display that is clear in both bright environments and darkness. With a display diagonal of 7.9 cm (3.1 inches), all digits and symbols are presented significantly larger, helping to avoid reading errors.

Depending on the selected measurement parameter, the correct connection of the measurement sockets is displayed. This is a great help for beginners and students to avoid incorrect handling. If a faulty connection is made despite the display, an alarm sound will be triggered.

To change batteries or fuses, the housing must be opened. For safety reasons, the measurement leads should not be connected during this process. This measuring device is designed so that the housing cannot be opened while the measurement leads are connected. The measurement leads can only be reconnected after the housing is closed, as the measurement sockets are mechanically locked.

The measurement lead is double insulated in two colors. If the first insulation layer is damaged, a differently colored insulation layer appears. This is ideal for training devices, allowing worn measurement leads to be replaced early.

This device features a self-resetting fuse for the measurement range up to 600 mA. The need to replace expensive high-performance fuses is eliminated with this variant, which is particularly advantageous in training. If the multimeter is still connected to a high-energy power supply in the µA and mA range, an additional glass tube fuse will blow to protect the self-resetting fuse from overload.
