Description

Electrical tester PCE-BDM 20
Digital multimeter for the stationary workplace / Various measurement functions / High measuring ranges / PASS / FAIL function for component testing / HOLD function / Connection of two thermocouples simultaneously / Software / USB interface

The digital multimeter is a multimeter for a stationary workplace. In addition to measuring current, voltage and resistance, the digital multimeter can also use two thermocouples to measure the temperature and also determine the conductivity. So the digital multimeter can perform a variety of different measurement tasks. A direct connection to a PC can be established via the USB interface on the back of the digital multimeter. The software from the digital multimeter can then be used to carry out live analyzes using graphics and tables.

Another special feature of the digital multimeter is the PASS / FAIL function. With this function, target ranges for the measured values can be set for each measuring function. Depending on the actual measured value, a "PASS" (passed) or a "FAIL" (failed) is then shown on the display by the digital multimeter. The digital multimeter is therefore used, for example, in quality control. With the help of the adjustable handle, the digital multimeter can be adjusted for ergonomic use by the operator. The handle of the digital multimeter can also be used to change the workplace. The housing of the digital multimeter has a rubberized edge protection, which prevents damage.
