ACT 260 AC/DC TRMS Milliamp Clamp Meter
The ACT 260 AC/DC TRMS Milliamp Clamp Meter is designed for AC and DC current measurement, AC and DC voltage measurement, resistance testing and continuity testing. Its True-RMS measurement capability supports accurate current testing across its stated ranges. With a current resolution of 1 mA on the 5000 mA range, it is well suited to measurements where small current changes need to be identified.
For alarm system work, the meter can measure quiescent load and full-alarm load without disconnecting the battery from the alarm panel. This makes the ACT 260 AC/DC TRMS Milliamp Clamp Meter suitable for both commissioning and fault-finding tasks. The analogue front-end gain is designed for milliamp currents, while the sensor measures both AC and DC current.
A 13 mm jaw design helps reduce the effect of conductor position and shields the measurement area against external fields. The 5000-count backlit LCD gives a clear reading, while the built-in work light helps when working in poor light. The meter is also suited to checking neutral currents, leakage current and RCD nuisance tripping.
