The Instek GDM-396 digital multimeter (also called multitester) is an true RMS, auto- and manual-ranging meter that measures voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, duty cycle, and frequency, and performs diode and continuity tests in electrical applications. An audible continuity sensor confirms a circuit conducts electricity, and a diode test detects proper functioning of a circuit's diodes. The meter measures duty cycles to 99%, indicating the percent of time a circuit is on. Fuse protection on the 10-amp range provides added safety in high-energy environments. The LCD is backlit for use in low-light areas. A data hold function keeps a reading on the display for recording. Relative mode displays the difference between the measuring value and the user-defined reference value. Relative mode is helpful when comparing two readings or removing test lead resistance from low-ohm measurements. The meter has an RS-232C port for exporting data to a computer using the included software. The unit automatically turns off after 15 minutes of nonuse to conserve battery life, and a low-battery indicator signals when the meter's batteries need to be replaced. This true RMS (root mean square) meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear loads, such as standard induction motors and incandescent lights, where the current or voltage has an undistorted waveform, or nonlinear loads, such as electronic devices or motors, where the current or voltage has a distorted waveform. When turned on, the meter is in auto-ranging mode and automatically selects the correct operating range for the property being measured. It can be switched to manual-ranging mode, which allows the operator to choose the appropriate operating range. The LCD has a 4,000-count resolution, meaning it can display up to 3,999 units (3-3/4 digits) before the operating range needs to be changed. The meter meets International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard 61010 and is certified for Category III installations up to 1000V, which covers items used with enclosed building circuit installations (such as service panel parts, branch circuits, and fixed installations that are connected directly to a building's AC power supply), Category IV installations up to 600V, which covers equipment at the origin of the installation (such as electricity meters and primary over-current protection equipment), Pollution Degree 2 for indoor use, and double insulation. The meter includes one pair of test leads, one pair of test clips, a point-contact temperature probe, and instructions.

Multimeters are electrical test meters that measure multiple properties of an electrical circuit, such as current, voltage, resistance, capacitance, and continuity. Available in handheld or benchtop models, multimeters diagnose electrical problems in electrical equipment, wiring, and power supplies. A variety of probes, clamps, and leads can be used to connect the meter to a circuit or device. Multimeters display information either in analog or digital form. Factors that influence meter choice include the electrical properties to be measured, the anticipated range of results, and the desired level of protection against transient voltage. Safety ratings are based on International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards for low-voltage test equipment. IEC 61010 delineates four overvoltage installation categories. In general, a meter with a category IV rating will provide more protection against transient voltages than a meter with a lower category rating. GW Instek manufactures test and measurement equipment such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, signal testers, and video surveillance systems. The company, founded in 1975 and headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards 9002 and 14001. What's in the Box?
