Mastech MS8261 Manual-Ranging Digital Multimeter

Description

The Mastech MS8261 is a manual-ranging digital multimeter that is a versatile tool for general electrical testing and electronics work. It requires the user to manually select the correct measurement range for each task, a feature that can be more affordable than auto-ranging alternatives.

Key Features

• Manual ranging: The user must manually set the measurement range. This is suitable for those familiar with the approximate values of the circuits they are testing and provides more control.
• Display: It features a 2000-count, backlit LCD for clear readings in various lighting conditions.
• Safety features: Includes a resettable fuse for protection against overcurrents. It is certified with CAT II 1000V and CAT III 600V safety ratings.
• Data hold: Freezes the current reading on the display.
• Continuity buzzer: Provides an audible alert for quick continuity checks.
• Diode test: Tests the functionality of diodes.
• Transistor (hFE) test: Measures the current gain of bipolar junction transistors.
• Auto power-off: Helps conserve battery life by automatically shutting down the meter after a period of inactivity.
