RS Components, distributor of over 200 000 electronic, electrical and industrial products, supplies the ISO-Tech range of test and measurement equipment. Stringently tested in RS Components' own laboratory, the company considers ISO-Tech products to be as good as, and offer the same technical specifications as instruments priced much higher. ISO-Tech's comprehensive test and measurement products include handheld multimeters, clamp meters, bench power supplies, oscilloscopes, bench multimeters, electrical test instrumentation, temperature adaptors and even a lightmeter. This comprehensive range meets international safety requirements EN61010 and can also be locally calibrated to meet SANAS Calibrations Standard.
ISO-Tech's IDM610 multimeter is a compact and versatile meter that enables safe current measurement through 'open-jaw' current clamp technology. It permits AC/DC current measurement up to 100 A using the integral clamp sensor. The sensor enables ease of use in crowded cable areas. Other product features include:
* Continuity buzzer.
* 0-600 V auto ranging.
* Resistance/continuity 0-33,99 Mω.
* 3400 count LCD digital display incorporating a 33 segment analog bargraph.
* Data hold facility.
* Shock absorbing holster that accommodates leads and clamp sensor.
* Integral test leads.
The device complies with IEC61010 Cat III 300 V pollution degree II and comes standard with instructions and batteries.
RS is committed to saving its customers time and money through offering a free technical helpline staffed by qualified advisors, 45 000 comprehensive data sheets as well as 24-hour delivery on locally held stock. These factors help customers to choose the right products, reduce their down time, minimise their procurement frustration and reduce the number of suppliers they communicate with.
