Description

The VC 292 can detect currents up to 60 A directly with the accompanying clamp adapter and is, like all devices in the VC-200 series, optimized for training.

Measurement of high currents
The supplied CLA-60 clip-on ammeter adapter is suitable for the contact-free measurement of AC currents up to 60 A. In 3-phase circuits, the division can be quickly and safely determined. There is no need to disconnect the circuit during measurement. The VOLTCRAFT VC-292 shows the current measuring clamp in ampere exactly the measured value in the switch position, because the ammeter and the multimeter are perfectly tuned to one another.

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.

Sample ratio
Measurement rate or duty cycle refers to phase angle control, switched-mode power supplies and other digital switched devices to determine the percentage value between ON (pulse) and OFF.

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.

Reliable readings thanks to ISO calibration
Diagnostics tools used in an environment that complies with ISO 9001 standards require ISO calibration. Moreover, most safety inspectors as well as accredited testing and certification bodies need to use ISO-certified equipment.
