Agilent Launches Handheld Digital Multimeter Designed for Extreme Cold Weather

Agilent Technologies Inc. has announced the introduction of the U1273AX OLED handheld digital multimeter capable of operating at temperatures as low as -40°C. Even in cold environments, this new handheld DMM does not require preheating and provides accurate measurement results immediately.

The Agilent U1273AX not only adapts to cold and harsh environments, but also operates at temperatures up to 55°C throughout the year. It meets IP 54 waterproof and dustproof standards and CAT IV/600 V safety rating, with the advantages of sturdiness and durability. It can help users keep the business running smoothly in demanding industrial and electrical applications.

When used with the U1583B AC current clamp, the U1273AX can make current measurements without disconnecting the circuit under test. The U1583B also supports operating temperatures as low as -40°C.

Ee Huei Sin, Agilent vice president and general manager of basic instruments, said: “The field engineers and technicians working in the cold area can immediately take measurements and have confidence in the measurement results. We are honored to provide you with this new handheld number. Multimeter, which makes full use of the existing U1270 series of innovations."

The U1273AX features an OLED display, 41⁄2-digit resolution, a 2000:1 contrast ratio, and a 160° wide viewing angle for ultra-clear readings. Advanced features include: Low-impedance mode can be used to eliminate stray voltage caused by capacitive coupling, and low-pass filter can be used to eliminate switching noise measured by motor drive.

U1273AX supports wireless remote connectivity From wireless connectivity to smartphones and tablets, the U1273AX is compatible with the innovative U1177A infrared-to-Bluetooth adapter and its associated remote monitoring program. The Bluetooth adapter and corresponding programs support a full line of Agilent handheld digital multimeters. This unique feature allows users to use the Android device to wirelessly monitor the U1273AX in a warm and safe car or building.
