Extech Instruments, makers of the best handheld test and measurement
tools, announced the new MG300, a true RMS multimeter
with built-in insulation resistance tester and the added safety
of wireless datastreaming for remote monitoring and datalogging.
By adding insulation testing capabilities to the ubiquitous digital
multimeter, electricians are always equipped for insulation testing, helping to
make it a more routine part of predictive maintenance with faster
troubleshooting and repairs without additional tools.
The rugged and waterproof (IP67-rated) combination meter includes a digital insulation resistance tester (or megohmmeter) with
4 different test voltages for measuring resistance up to 4 GΩ with 0.001MΩ
resolution. The full-function, true RMS digital multimeter includes useful
extras like duty cycle measurements and milliamp readings for analog 4-20mA
current loops in industrial analog process controls.
The CAT-IV-rated meter’s wireless datastreaming enables safer
troubleshooting and maintenance on dangerous moving equipment and one-person
operation of remote safety switches. Technicians can focus on finding problems
by monitoring real-time readings on a laptop or computer screen from safe
distances – up to 30 feet away.
The meter comes complete with remote USB receiver, Windows® compatible
software, test leads with alligator clips, Type K bead wire temperature probe
with adapter, carrying case, and 6 x AA batteries. The MG300 is available with
NIST-traceable certification (model MG300-NIST). For users outside North
America, the MG302 which transmits data at 433MHz instead of 915MHz is also
available. The new meters are available from authorized Extech distributors
around the world. To learn more, or to find a distributor, please visit http://www.extech.com/mg300.
