The Megger AVO410-US digital multimeter is a true RMS (root mean square) sensing, auto- or manual-ranging meter for measuring current, voltage, resistance, capacitance, and frequency in electrical testing applications. The meter comes with a set of detachable test leads and probes that measure alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) to 10 amp, AC voltage to 750 volts (V), DC voltage to 1,000V, resistance to 60 megaohms, capacitance to 6 millifarads, and frequency to 60 megahertz (MHz). The microamp reading identifies current changes in flame detector applications. The maximum or minimum reading mode displays the highest or lowest reading in a session to track a sudden increase or decrease in readings. The hold function keeps a reading on the display, even after the meter is disconnected. An audible continuity sensor confirms that the circuit conducts electricity, and a diode test detects proper functioning of a circuit’s diodes. The meter's backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) is readable in low light. The meter has an RS-232 port for connecting the meter to a computer (USB adapter and cable not included). The unit automatically turns off after 10 minutes of non-use to conserve battery life, and a low-battery indicator signals when the meter's batteries need to be replaced. The meter comes with a molded rubber holster that fits onto the meter to help protect against damage from falls, impacts, and abrasion. The meter can survive falls of up to 1.2 meters to a hardwood or concrete floor.
The Megger AVO410 digital multimeter has been designed for the contracting electrician and has the additional features that also make the instrument suitable for wide range of applications and users.
The instrument offers AC and DC voltage and current measurements as well as resistance, frequency and capacitance ranges. True RMS readings on the AC functions are standard on the AVO410 and the instrument features a CATIV 600 V safety rating meaning the instrument is suitable for industrial applications.
The slim, compact case has a tough rubberized holster that provides that extra degree of protection from the extreme conditions found in industrial environments. The style of the case and positioning of the function switch and buttons means the unit sits comfortably in the palm for single handed use.
Continuous references to the user guide have been avoided by the AVO410 utilizing simplified functions.
The display features a back light that allows measurements to be made in poorly lit areas.
The AVO410 test leads are supplied with silicon cable and have GS38 compliant shrouded tips on the prods.
