AC71B
Automatic AC Clamp
Multimeter
The automatic everything clamp meter
The AC71B is a digital clamp multimeter with two additional
unique features: AutoTect™ and automatic backlight. The AutoTect™ feature automatically senses what type of measurement is
being made when the test leads are placed across a measurement
point. There is no knob to turn. The meter knows what is being
measured and the digital display shows the measured value along
with the associated unit icon. AutoTect™ also utilizes a lower
input impedance. This helps determine if voltage is from leakage
(called ghost voltages) or a hard connection. Any ghost voltages
will be zeroed out by the lower input impedance.
The automatic backlight has a sensor that recognizes when the
ambient light becomes dim and turns itself on. A bright blue backlight is then available to easily read the measurement value on
the digital display.
The AC71B is a complete multimeter measuring AC and DC
volts, resistance, continuity in addition to the AC current.
A useful tool for the electrician, plant maintenance, HVAC or
field service technician.
