Compact, multi-functional multimeter combines versatility with accuracy for engineers working on industrial and domestic installation, maintenance and fault detection tasks.Conrad Business Supplies has added the BENNING CM11 TRUE RMS AC/DC Clamp Multimeter to its expanding range of test and measurement equipment. The compact and ergonomic handheld unit offers unprecedented measurement resolution of 0.1 mA AC/DC and uses a current clamp measuring method that avoids the need split wires. This makes it an ideal tool for engineers carrying out installation, maintenance and fault detection work in both industrial and domestic applications such as specialist fire and alarm equipment where there is a growing need to be able to make quick and easy fine resolution measurements.
The BENNING CM11 is able to measure load currents of up to 20 A AC and 10 A DC and process signal currents of 4 mA to 20 mA without interruption of the current loop. The unit is also able to make other measurements including voltage (0.01 V to 600 V) and resistance (0.1 ohms to 600 K ohms); acoustic continuity testing is also possible. The TRUE RMS measurement method used by the CM11 gives enhanced accuracy versus a standard RMS approach often used in test equipment. This is particularly important in industrial environments where non-linear loads may generate a reactive power in the mains leading to misleading measurements being taken.
Further useful additional functions include HOLD, MIN, MAX storage, ZERO (null balance) and a switchable display illumination. A large clamp opening of 23mm enhances convenience in use and the unit is supplied with 4 mm safety measuring leads, batteries and a high quality storage pouch.
Benedikt Sehr, Product Manager, Category Business Supplies commented: "The BENNING CM11 is an important addition to our test and measurement portfolio. By offering TRUE RMS measurements with high resolution and without the need to break into the circuit, it helps engineers gather all the information they need with confidence, speed and ease. With its range of other measurement and diagnostic capabilities it offers the potential to give a single instrument solution."
