AM-520
HVAC Digital Multimeter
AM-500 Digital Multimeter Series
Designed for the HVAC professional, the AM-520 HVAC Digital Multimeter
is complete with key functions such as temperature, micro amps used for
flame sensor troubleshooting and capacitance to check motor start-up
capacitors. The AM-520 measures a complete range of electrical parameters
and features a built-in flashlight, a “third hand” probe holder and VolTect™
non-contact voltage detection.
• Measurements: voltage up to 750Vac and
1000Vdc, ac/dc current, resistance, frequency,
capacitance, temperature.
• VolTect™ Non-contact voltage detection
• Built-in test leads storage and “third hand
holder”
• Audible continuity
• Diode test
• Data hold
• Max/min memory
• Relative zero mode
• Built-in flashlight
• Auto and manual ranging
• Auto power off and low battery warning
• Backlit LCD display with analog bar graph
• Velcro strap to hang a meter
• Safety rated: CAT III 600V, CAT II 1000V
