An important contribution to field site safety is provided by safety shutters, which prevent erroneous insertion of the test leads into the current measurement terminals. The TY500 Series conforms to the requirements of the EN61010-1 safety standard (1000 V, CAT.III, 600 V CAT.IV).
There are two models in the TY500 Series: the standard Type TY520 and the advanced Type TY530. Both will measure DC voltage, AC voltage, DC current, AC current, resistance, frequency, temperature and capacitance, as well as carrying out continuity checking and diode testing. A low-pass filter is included as standard, and a direct reading current function is available via an optional current clamp sensor.
Additional features available on the TY530 including a logging-mode memory for 1600 data points, maximum/minimum/average calculation, switchable RMS/mean detection, USB communication and an optional DMM communications software package.
TY500 Series multimeters measure 90(W) x 192(H) x 49(D) mm and weigh approximately 570 g (including batteries). Battery life for continuous DC voltage measurement with alkaline cells is approximately 300 hours.
