Extensive range of test instruments from RS Components
March 2021Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
RS Components now stocks an extensive range of RS PRO handheld test and measurement instruments for engineers and technicians. The range includes devices that allow accurate and ergonomic measurements and calibration, including handheld multimeters, clamp meters and voltage indicators, and all the necessary accessories.
For access to awkward and hard to reach areas, the RS PRO Flexible Clamp Meter features a flexible coil which snakes around obstructions with ease. It also means that the technician can take a reading from a wire without touching it, which is safer and more convenient than other methods. The instrument has a built-in data logger that can measure AC current with a high degree of accuracy between 0,5 A and 3000 A. Measured data can be transferred in real time to a laptop via Bluetooth. The large backlit LCD makes measurements easy to read, even in poorly lit environments. The meter complies with EN61010-1, EN61010-2-032 and EN61326-1 safety standards and meets the overvoltage Cat III and Cat IV requirements. It comes with two AAA batteries, application software, and a carry case.
The RS PRO handheld T&M; instrument range also includes the RS PRO insulation tester to help technicians ensure the wiring insulation is safe and remains undamaged after electrical work has been completed. The RS PRO RS14 digital multimeter is a useful instrument for measuring capacitance, voltage, electrical current and resistance, and features a diode and continuity check. Designed especially for HVAC engineers, the RS PRO HVAC multimeter features true RMS measurements and connects via Bluetooth to the RS PRO Connect app.
All products and equipment have been through high-calibre compliance and quality testing to assure quality, durability and consistency, and come with the RS PRO Seal of Approval.
