Digital Multimeter PCE-HVAC 6

The digital multimeter PCE-HVAC 6 was specially developed for the tradesman in the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning technology. This digital multimeter is ideal for many inspection and maintenance jobs in this area. This digital multimeter combines many gauges in one. It is possible with this meter to measure currents up to 1000 A in the DC and AC range via the clamp. Furthermore, voltages up to 600V AC / DC can be determined exactly. For quick and easy testing of electrical conductors, the digital multimeter is equipped with non-contact voltage detection.

The PCE-HVAC 6 digital multimeter can also measure resistors and capacitors. The diode test and continuity test complete the series of electrical measuring functions of the digital multimeter. As a special feature, the PCE-HVAC 6 clamp meter has 2 measuring inputs for Type-K thermocouples. With the help of these thermocouples, for example, the flow and return temperature of heating systems can be measured.

The digital multimeter was developed for the everyday life of a service worker. The sturdy plastic housing withstands shocks easily. A circumferential rubber coating on the housing of the PCE-HVAC 6 helps ensure that the digital multimeter is secure in the hand, even when the technician wears gloves. The display is equipped with an LED backlight, which facilitates reading in dark environments. As a further highlight, the clamp meter on the pliers tip has a measuring point illumination.
