Voltcraft VC272

The VC 272 can measure temperatures with K-type thermocouples and, like all devices in the VC-200 series, is optimised for training. Razor-sharp display: Impressive, clearly legible EBTN display in bright surroundings as well as in the dark. With a 7.9 cm (3.1 inch) display diagonal, all digits and symbols are shown in a much larger size, which prevents reading errors. Test socket monitoring: The correct assignment of the test sockets is shown on the display depending on the selected measured variable. This is a great help for beginners and students to avoid operating errors. If an incorrect connection is made despite the display, a warning tone sounds. Safety when changing batteries: The housing must be opened to change batteries or fuses. For safety reasons, the test leads should not be connected. This meter is designed so that the housing cannot be opened while the test leads are connected. Test leads can only be reconnected after the housing has been closed, as the test sockets are mechanically locked. Safety thanks to wear indicator: The measuring cable is double insulated in two colours. If the first layer of insulation is damaged, a different coloured insulation appears. Ideal for training devices to replace worn test leads at an early stage. Self-resetting fuse: This device has a self-resetting fuse for the measuring range up to 600 mA. There is no need to change expensive high-capacity fuses with this version, which is particularly advantageous for training purposes. Double safety: If the multimeter is nevertheless connected to a high-energy power supply in the µA and mA range, an additional glass tube fuse is triggered to protect the self-resetting fuse against flashover.
