Description

The Model 8712 Survey Meter combines an unprece­dented ease of operation with powerful measurement ca­pabilities. It is fully compatible with all 8700 series probes.
This cost-effective, small, lightweight meter is ideal for ap­plications that require accurate measurements but not all
the extra features of the Model 8718B Survey Meter. It op­erates from a standard 9 Volt battery. A shielded, foam­lined case that holds both the Model 8712 and two probes
is standard.

Operation

The 8712 was designed with the new or occasional user in
mind so that the most common measurement mistakes
cannot happen.

NO RANGE CHANGES – the meter automatically displays
a numeric value over the probe’s entire measurement
range. The user simply pushes the Probe button until the
arrow points to the full scale measurement range of the
probe. The probe ranges are even color coded on the me
ter to match the color of the probe.

NO CONFUSING SCALES – once you select the probe’s
full scale measurement range you simply read the digital
display, including the units of measure.

NO UNIT CALCULATIONS – simply select the unit of
measure that you want. Only units appropriate to the
probe you are using can be selected.

NO FORGETTING THAT YOU ARE IN THE MAXIMUM
HOLD MODE – the meter clearly displays the word “MAX”
when you are in the maximum hold mode. The digital dis
play shows themaximum value while thebar graph contin

ues to indicate the instantaneous value.

LESS CHANCE OF DAMAGING THE PROBE DUE TO AN
OVERLOAD CONDITION – the meter gives both audio and
visual warnings of an over range condition, which greatly re
duces the chance that a probe will be damaged.
