The B&K Precision 2704C kit digital multimeter (also known as a multitester) is an average-sensing, manual-ranging meter that measures current, voltage, resistance, and capacitance, and performs diode, continuity, logic, and transistor common-emitter gain (hFE) tests in electrical applications. An audible continuity sensor confirms a circuit conducts electricity, and a diode test detects proper functioning of a circuit's diodes. The hFE test measures a transistor's common-emitter gain, and a logic test analyzes digital signals. A data hold function keeps a reading on the display for recording, even after the meter has been disconnected. The LCD is backlit for readability in low light. It displays the present measurement or the highest or lowest reading in a session, for tracking sudden changes in readings. An alarm sounds when the test leads are connected to the wrong jack for the measurement being taken. A low-battery indicator signals when the meter's batteries need to be replaced. A magnetic strap is included for hanging the meter from a metal door or surface for hands-free use. 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 that requires the operator to choose the appropriate operating range for the property being measured. The LCD 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 European Union EMC (EN) EN61326, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard 61010, and is certified for Category II installations up to 1000V, which covers large household appliances and devices connected to a fixed power supply (such as refrigerators and air conditioners), Category III installations up to 600V, which covers items used with enclosed building circuit installations (such as service panel parts, branch circ...
