AM-500
DIY-PRO Digital Multimeter
AM-500 Digital Multimeter Series
Easy to use digital multimeter designed for the homeowner or office space
maintenance person to check for voltage in receptacles, extension cords, light
fixtures, batteries and other electrical circuits. Check fuses, light bulbs and
continuity of the electrical connections. Verify voltage level of the automotive
batteries and troubleshoot electrical problems of the cars.
• Measurements: Voltage up to 600V AC/DC,
AC/DC Current and Resistance
• Audible continuity
• Diode Test
• Data hold
• Auto power off
• Low battery warning
• Safety: CAT III 600V
