Agilent U1210 Series Handheld Clamp Meters Handle big currents – more safely Data Sheet Features • Large clamp opening of 52 mm or 2” • High measurement capability of up to 1000 A for AC, DC or AC+DC • CAT III 1000 V/CAT IV 600 V safety rating • Bluetooth® wireless connectivity (optional U1177A Infrared (IR)-to-Bluetooth Adapter required) • Includes full-featured DMM with resistance, capacitance, frequency and temperature functions • High resolution measurements – measure current as low as 0.01 mA • Peak hold • Dual ranging mode – manual and auto • Large dual display • Min/max recording capability Measurements of electrical distribution cables can be challenging and risky. For cables up to two inches in diameter, the Agilent U1210 Series handheld clamp meters enable high-current measurements without breaking the circuit. Unlike most clamp meters, they also include DMM capabilities—resistance, capacitance, frequency and temperature—to simplify troubleshooting during installation and maintenance. Best of all, they provide an extra layer of protection with CAT IV 600V and CAT III 1000 V safety ratings. Key Measurements Measure current easily and accurately Agilent U1210 Series handheld clamp meters come with clamp opening of 52 mm/2 inches and high current measurement capability of up to 1000 A (AC, DC, AC+ DC). With the large jaw size, these handhelds simplify current measurements for thick cables. Clamp on with the U1210 Series and get convenience, versatility and the ability to handle big currents—safely. Full-featured digital multimeter functions The U1210 Series handheld clamp meters provide basic functions of a multimeter with wide measurement ranges to cater for a broad range of applications (ACA, DCV, ACV, OHM, audible continuity, diode and frequency tests). These meters also provide auto-ranging capability, built-in peak hold for in-rush current measurement, temperature and capacitance measurement capability, large backlight display and one-hand operation. Smooth sailing measurements even in a distance Making current measurements can be strenuously demanding due to its complexity and high current involved. Electrical distribution rooms being typically situated at different areas further complicates maintenance and troubleshooting due to the need to commute back and forth to cross check measurement results. By adding the new Bluetooth capability to your existing U1210 series handheld clamp meters, you are able to make high current measurements in a safer and more convenient manner. With the U1177A Infrared-to-Bluetooth adapter, you can easily monitor measurements and log data up 10-metres range across all 2 Android platform devices- an added value for maximum efficiency and productivity in all sorts of hard-toreach environments.
