Amprobe AM-160-A TRMS Precision True RMS Digital Multimeter with PC Connection

Top-of-the-line, affordable digital multimeter for professional environments. AC & DC voltage to 1000V, AC & DC current to 10A, plus resistance, frequency, capacitance, duty cycle & more.

  • Description

    The Amprobe AM-160-A TRMS True RMS digital multimeter (DMM) offers all capabilities of the Amprobe AM-140 TRMS True RMS Digital Multimeter, but with higher accuracy. The AM-160 also accepts dual Type-K thermocouples for temperature measurement from -58 to +1832°F or -50 to +1000°C. Both the AM-140 and AM-160-A offer an optical RS232 PC interface and meet the needs of technicians testing electrical circuits up to 1000V and 10A, as well as the needs for testing components and digital logic. Component test capabilities include resistance, capacitance, frequency, diode test, and continuity. Circuit test capabilities include duty cycle, logic test, and dBm.
