Application

Low input impedance (Ri = 1MΩ)
Trouble shooting a branch circuit with dead or disconnected circuit is made easy with VAC1M. Low impedance VAC1M measurement helps eliminating error readings resulting from ghost voltages caused by long wires that share a common conduit
Single fuse(16A)
Instrument contains a single fuse of 16A common for all the ranges of current from 600μA to 10A AC/DC as compared to the two fuses in traditional DMMs. This eliminates the accidental blowing of 1.6A fuse due to operator’s error when higher current is applied in lower ranges
Tool for automation, USB 2.0 Interface
With ready to use communication protocol and plug and play USB 2.0 add-on device, one can easily automate his test system. The extensive data capturing and analysis is possible with DMM software. With vast functionality and editable report settings DMM software is a real help for easy report generation and analysis of a device under test.

Square Wave Output
A square wave output can be generated from the DMM with the user selectable frequency and adjustable duty cycle. This can be used as baud rate generator, to check flow meters, to test frequency counters, accelerometer and frequency transmitter. It can also be used as audio signal in audio signal testing.
Current measurement with clamp sensor
Measurement with various clamp sensors is possible, which helps in accurate measurement of current from 60mA to 6000A without interrupting the circuit. The measured current is automatically calculated from the selected clamp ratio.

Low pass filter(LPF) in VAC10MΩ & VAC1MΩ
A selectable 1kHz low pass filter offers advanced variable frequency drive filtering to help you accurately analyze nontraditional sine waves and noisy signals.
In LPF mode DMM rejects all high frequency noise making it suitable for making measurements on inverters and high frequency drives.

True RMS measurement with high crest factors
Accurate true RMS measurement of distorted waveform with crest factor CF between 1 to 10.
Data Logging
DMM 5005/5006 offers continuous data logging of up to 32000 readings with real time stamping. Log rate is adjustable from as low as 0.1 sec to as high as 1hr.

Adjustable Beep Level
With Beep level setting, the limit for continuity can be adjusted from 10Ω to 90Ω depending upon application.
Separate fuse compartment
Easier access to fuse when replacing the blown fuse.
Auto Power OFF with adjustable timing
Flexibility to adjust “Auto off ” period from 5 minutes to 60 minutes.
60mv & 600mV DC & ACDC
This helps in accurate measurement of low output voltages <600mV from sensors & transmitters. High frequency low voltage signal from RF transmitters can also be measured. Signal as low as 0.001mV can be measured accurately.
Min / Max / Avg measurement
Min/Max/Avg function records the minimum, maximum and average of all the readings applied since its activation. With dual display it makes it even flexible for the user to keep the trace of the applied readings while viewing Min/Max/Avg readings. The average reading is useful for smoothing out unstable inputs,& verifying circuit performance.
Dedicated keys for easy navigation
Dedicated navigation keys makes scrolling through menu and setting of parameters easy & comfortable.
External Power Adapter (DC Jack)
The external power supply adapter helps in conserving battery while performing long hours of measurements. When DC jack is connected batteries inside DMM are electronically disconnected, and reconnected in absence of mains, hence there is no need of removing the battery when using the power adapter.
100kHz Bandwidth
Alternating voltages with frequencies up to 100kHz can be measured accurately. This is useful while analyzing high frequency analog signals.
Self battery voltage measurement
Capable of measuring self battery voltage.
Room temperature measurement
Room temperature can be sensed and measured without any external sensor. The same is used as internal reference temperature in thermocouple based temperature measurements
Fully programmable GO NO-GO
The Go – NoGo function gives an indication through a buzzer for the applied input lying inside or outside the set band. The values for low limit, high limit and buzzer condition can be easily set through NoGo function in menu settings. Once the NoGo function is set, user can get busy doing other activities in the vicinity of the meter, whenever the condition is met it will be indicated by a buzzer. It eliminates the need of operator to continuously monitor the display.
View Function
Data logged on meter can be viewed directly on the meter itself, hence the data analysis is also possible without a PC based software. However for graphical and large data analysis PC based software can be used.
Dangerous Contact Voltage Indication
Presence of hazardous voltage (>35Vrms 50/60Hz and 50Vdc) at the contact terminal are indicated on display. This is very useful while performing measurements in the circuit which takes longer time to discharge its capacitors, or where unexpected danger voltage are present.
