The Amprobe 5XP-A digital multimeter with built-in non-contact voltage detector is an average-sensing, manual-ranging meter for measuring current, voltage, and resistance in electrical testing applications. The meter comes with a set of detachable test leads that measure alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) to 200 milliamp, AC voltage to 750 volts (V), DC voltage to 1,000V, and resistance to 20 megaohms. The meter's non-contact voltage detector senses AC voltage without making contact with the circuit. The maximum or minimum reading mode displays the highest or lowest reading in a session to track a sudden increase or decrease in measurements. The battery test feature checks the amount of charge remaining in standard 1.5V and 9V batteries. An audible continuity sensor confirms that the circuit conducts electricity, and a diode test detects whether the circuit's diodes work properly. The hold function keeps a reading on the display, even after the meter is disconnected. A low-battery indicator signals when the meter's batteries need to be replaced.This average sensing, or average responding, meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear loads, such as standard induction motors and incandescent lights, where the current or voltage has a sinusoidal waveform. It is a manual-ranging meter and required the operator to choose the appropriate operating range for the property being measured. The meter has a 2,000-count resolution, meaning it can display up to 1,999 units (3-1/2 digits) before the operating range needs to be changed. It meets International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard 61010 and is certified for category I installations up to 1,000V (which covers protected electrical equipment such as small household appliances), category II installations up to 600V (which covers large household appliances and devices connected to a fixed power supply, such as refrigerators and air conditioners), and category III installations up to 300V (which covers items used with enclosed buildi...
