UNI-T UT196 Multimeter – Solar PRO – unboxed

We provide a 3-year warranty on this product. The UT196 True RMS solar multimeter from UNI-T is a professional-grade product designed for professionals installing or maintaining photovoltaic or wind power stations. The instrument is designed to operate in harsh outdoor environments – it has an IP65 rating and can withstand a fall from a height of 2 metres. This multimeter measures DC voltage up to 1,700 V and AC voltage (true RMS) up to 1,500 V within a frequency range of 45 to 1,000 Hz. With the optional UT-CS09D Flex current loop, it also enables non-contact measurement of AC currents from 1.5 to 3,000 A, even in confined spaces. Furthermore, the UT196 measures frequency, resistance, capacitance, semiconductor junctions and circuit continuity.
The low-pass filter function allows RF interference generated by the inverter to be filtered out. Low-impedance mode can assist in troubleshooting sensitive circuits and circuits that may contain spurious voltages. A built-in torch, bright backlight and audible and visual alarms enable users to complete their work safely and efficiently, even in dark and noisy environments.
The UT196 solar digital multimeter is designed with overload protection of 1700V DC and 1500Vrms AC, tested for safe use in CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V environments, and certified to CE, UKCA, cETLus.
