Item #: E605-0055 Manufacturer: Amprobe Manufacturer Item #: PM55A Product Type: Digital Multimeters

	List Price:		$44.95

Features & Applications:

The Amprobe PM55A is the ultimate shirt-pocket sized meter. Only 3/8" thick and less than 3 oz in weight with full functionality offering ac and dc voltage to 600 V, ac and dc current to 2000 µA, resistance to 6 Megohm, capacitance to 2000 µF, frequency to 30 kHz, diode test and continuity w/beeper. It also offers VolTect,™ a built-in, non-contact voltage detector for ac voltages.

Another key feature is AutoTect,™ which automatically selects between ac voltage, dc voltage or resistance measurement based on the test point to which the leads are connected. Fully autoranging, this meter offers nine different measurement functions plus features that are usually found in much more expensive and larger meters.

The digital display is oversized with large digits and unit icons in the display. In spite of its size, this meter is fully safety rated to CAT III 300 V, CAT II 600 V and is UL listed. No other meter this small offers such performance and high safety ratings. Includes a silicone protective holster, deluxe carrying case, attached test leads, battery and manual.

Features:

• Unique AutoTect™ feature directs the meter to know if it is measuring AC volts, DC volts or resistance with no user interface
• The AutoTect™ feature has lower input impedance, which zeros out ghost voltages
• High Input Impedance feature for measuring electronic control circuitry
• Measures ac/dc current, capacitance, frequency, continuity with beeper
• Includes Voltect,™ a built-in, non-contact AC voltage detector
• Complete user protection with full safety ratings of CAT III 300 V, CAT II 600 V and cULus listing
• Large oversize digital display
• Protective silicon holster included, attached test leads, battery, deluxe zippered carrying case and manual
• One-year No Hassle warranty
