About BK Precision 2831E True RMS Bench Digital Multimeter
The BK Precision 2831E benchtop digital multimeter (also known as a multitester) is a true RMS, auto-ranging meter for measuring current, voltage, resistance, and frequency in electrical testing and manufacturing applications and for teaching electrical engineering principles. The meter comes with a set of detachable test leads. The dual LCD displays two readings at once, such as voltage and resistance. An audible continuity sensor confirms a circuit conducts electricity, and a diode test detects proper functioning of a circuit’s diodes. The meter also measures period. The user can set high and low limits for pass/fail testing. The meter displays the present measurement or the highest or lowest reading in a session, for tracking sudden changes in readings. The meter can also express AC and DC voltage in decibels (dB), the power ratio of decibels to milliwatts (dBm), and percent of the reading relative to a preset reference value. The relative mode stores a reading in memory to use as a zero point for subsequent readings so that multiple readings can be compared. A hold function keeps a reading on the display, even after the meter has been disconnected. The user has a choice of slow, medium, or fast measurement rate; the faster the rate, the less precise the measurement. The USB interface connects the meter to a computer for data transfer and remote operation (cable sold separately). 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 operatin
