Agilent U1240 Series Handheld Digital Multimeters Helping You Check and Fix More Installation and Maintenance Bugs Data Sheet Key features Check more, fix more • 10,000-count display • 0.09% basic DCV accuracy • True RMS AC measurement • Basic functions — ACV, DCV, ACI, DCI, resistance, frequency, diode, continuity tests • Advanced functions — Capacitance, temperature, MINMAX recording Ease of use The Agilent U1240 Series handheld digital multimeters enable you to check more with wider measurement ranges. They feature true RMS readings on their 10,000-count displays. The adjustable backlighting allows you to complete your jobs even in subdued lighting conditions, or to simply prolong battery life. Your maintenance tasks are greatly simplified due to the built-in switch counter, harmonic ratio, dual and differential temperature capabilities, with just a press of the button. The meters have a high safety rating with CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V protection and are certified to CE and CSA standards. On top of that, the U1240 Series comes with a certificate of calibration and test report – at no extra cost. The latest multimeters in this series, the U1241B and U1242B, now come in vivid orange cases, offering the capabilities and functions you need.
