Process calibrator simulated transmitter and VFC True RMS Multimeter 2in1


VC78+


Basic Product Features

An industrial-grade on-site process maintenance tool that combines a digital multimeter and a process signal source into one.

The design of a two-color plastic mold shell and compliance with the IP65 dustproof and waterproof rating allow it to be used in harsh environments.


Basic Features of Input Measurement

* Measurement functions: AC voltage, DC voltage, resistance, DC current, AC current, continuity, diode, frequency.

* The measurement display has a reading of 6000 digits, and the basic accuracy is 0.2%.

* True RMS measurement for AC, with a measurement bandwidth of 20Hz to 1000Hz.

* Loop detection function, which can supply power to the 24V loop and measure the current simultaneously.

* VFC variable frequency voltage measurement function.

* Manual or automatic range selection is available, and the measured value can be held on the display.

* Relative value measurement (REL_%)


Basic Features of Analog Output

* The highest output accuracy is 0.2%, and the output display has 5 digits.

* Output functions: DC voltage, DC current, frequency, and the SIMULATE function to simulate a transmitter.

* When outputting DC current, both the mA value and the % value can be displayed simultaneously; 

current output functions with manual steps of 25% and 100%, automatic steps, and automatic ramping.

* An internal 24V loop power supply is provided.
