Description

Like all other devices in the VC-200 series, the VC-252 is optimized for training and offers a measurement function for 1.5V and 9V batteries.

Razor-sharp display
Impressive, clear EBTN display in Heller-environment as well as also when dark. With 7.9 cm (3.1 inch) display screen diagonal, all numbers and symbols are displayed much larger, thus avoiding measuring errors.

Measuring jacks monitoring
The display shows the correct assignment of the measuring sockets according to the selected measurement variable. This is a great help for beginners and students to avoid misuse. If an error is connected despite display, a warning tone sounds.

Battery replacement safety
To replace batteries or fuses the casing must be opened. For safety reasons, the measuring cables should not be connected. This measuring device is, unlike with simple conventional devices, designed in such a way that the housing cannot be opened when measuring lines are connected. You can only connect the measuring leads again after closing the casing, because the measuring sockets are mechanically locked.

Safety due to wear indicator
The leads feature two layers of insulation, each in a different colour. Damage to the first insulation layer reveals a different color insulation. Ideal for training devices, to change worn test leads early.

Auto-resetting fuse
This device has a self-resetting fuse for the measuring range up to 600mA. This variant does not need to change expensive high-performance fuse. This is of particular advantage in training. Double security: If the multimeter is connected to a power supply with high energy in the µA and mA range, an additional glass tube fuse is triggered to protect the self-resetting fuse from rollover.

Impedance switching
The LoZ function enables the measurement of DC and AC voltages with low impedance. The lower internal resistance of the measuring device reduces the measurement deviations due to stray and ghost voltages.

Delta measurement
For measuring deviations of a specified value. This allows you to focus on the positive and negative changes and does not have to reckon with all the time.

Battery tester
The residual voltage of a used battery should be measured under load. The VC 252 has the function battery test, which generates a base load. The voltage under load is displayed directly.

Display and keypad lock
Subtly incorporated edges protect the display, the rotary switch and all the keys.
An elaborately produced 2-component casing with integrated soft-rubber protection not only provides grip, but also protects the device during rough applications.

Anti-tipping
The broad bearing surface made of soft rubber provides much more stability when the stand is folded out.

Non-slip
Lying and standing with connected measuring leads - the measuring device remains in position. When stored without test leads, the rubberized edge protector prevents it from slipping even when the meter is lying on the display side.

Built-in torch
It's easier to find your way in the dark to the fuse box with the built-in LED light.

Contact-free voltage detection
An NCV sensor is integrated in the front of the casing. The electromagnetic field that occurs with a cable under voltage is detected. This allows you to find e.g. the position that would lead to an interruption in the case of a pinched extension cable. Through the insulation.

True RMS readings ensure accuracy
True RMS measurement enables reading of asymmetrical voltage and amperage with wave forms other than a sinus. Asymmetric voltages are very common in various types of dimmers, speed limiters, synchonised switches, pulse-type chargers, or electronic speed controllers. Which means that in these cases conventional meters displaying average readings are prone to large measurement errors.

Factory calibration ensures accurate readings
Calibration according to manufacturer standards is part of Voltcraft Quality Assurance. This ensures high quality products and compliance with tolerance limits as outlined in the user manual. This does not include certification.
