April 2003 Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration DSP, Micros & Memory

Spescom MeasureGraph is offering the XR series digital multimeter from Meterman Test Tools, a new brand of test tools and accessories. The XR series is a completely new line of digital multimeters designed for electronics test, field service and industrial applications.

The new digital multimeter series offers advantages such as a built-in non-contact voltage detector and Magne-Grip hanging strap for hands-free operation.

The XR series of DMMs is distinguished by a sleek curved shape, an ergonomic design that integrates a holster with a functional Magne-Grip hanging strap for hands-free operation, plus an easy-access battery door. For better viewing in dim light situations, some XR models offer an exclusive new bright, blue neon backlight display. The XR series encompasses five models, each designed with features and functions that match the needs of electricians, technicians and electronic engineers:

* 30XR: digital multimeter with non-contact voltage detector.

* 33XR: digital multimeter with temperature, frequency, capacitance.

* 34XR: Autoranging digital multimeter with true-RMS, backlight, temperature with probe, frequency, capacitance, duty cycle and an analog bargraph.

* 37XR: Autoranging digital multimeter with true-RMS, backlight, component test functions, dBM, Logic, 0,1% accuracy, CAT II 1000 V, CAT III 600 V capability.

* 38XR: Autoranging digital multimeter with true-RMS, backlight, CAT III 1000 V, CAT IV 600 V range and RS232 capability, as well as many more features.

Spescom MeasureGraph says that the new XR series multimeters meet or exceed other digital multimeters on the market in a rigorous price and value comparison. In fact, the 38XR, which is designed for field troubleshooting in industrial, automation, process and plant environments, sports the highest CAT III and CAT IV safety ratings with the best features available in any handheld DMM sold anywhere.
