Kewtech KEW-MATE 2012RA Pocket-Sized Multimeter

Kewtech KEW-MATE 2012RA Pocket-Sized Multimeter is a compact True RMS digital multimeter for measuring both voltage and current. Its open-jaw AC/DC clamp sensor allows current measurement without breaking into the circuit. The meter handles AC and DC voltage up to 600V and AC and DC current up to 120A.

True RMS measurement helps provide accurate readings when working with non-sinusoidal and distorted waveforms. This makes the Kewtech KEW-MATE 2012RA Pocket-Sized Multimeter well suited to electrical systems where harmonics may be present, including photovoltaic installations, inverters, fluorescent lighting and UPS equipment. Resistance measurement extends to 60MΩ, while capacitance measurement reaches 40µF.

Its compact 128 x 92 x 27mm body is designed for easy handling and access in restricted spaces. A 12mm maximum conductor capacity and thin open jaws make it practical for clamping individual wires, including circuits within distribution boards. Additional functions include frequency measurement, diode testing, continuity indication, data hold, relative measurement, auto and manual ranging, a bar graph indicator and automatic power saving.

 

Key Benefits
  • True RMS measurement supports accurate testing where distorted waveforms and harmonics are present.
  • Open-jaw sensing allows AC and DC current measurements without interrupting the circuit.
  • The slim 12mm jaw helps reach individual conductors in confined areas and distribution boards.
  • AC and DC current measurement up to 120A supports electrical maintenance and fault finding.
  • AC and DC voltage measurement up to 600V provides broad coverage for common electrical testing tasks.
  • Compact dimensions make the meter easy to carry and convenient for regular site work.
  • Continuity buzzer, diode test, capacitance and frequency measurement reduce the need for separate test instruments.
  • Data hold and the bar graph indicator help users view and retain readings during testing.
  • Auto and manual ranging provide flexibility when working across different measurement values.
  • Automatic power saving helps extend battery operating time between changes.

 

Common Applications

Kewtech KEW-MATE 2012RA Pocket-Sized Multimeter is suitable for a range of testing, maintenance and inspection tasks, including:

  • Photovoltaic and solar electrical installations
  • Testing and maintenance of inverters
  • Electrical installation maintenance
  • Electrical fault finding and troubleshooting
  • Current measurement on individual distribution board circuits
  • Testing systems with distorted or non-sinusoidal waveforms
  • Testing fluorescent lighting circuits
  • Testing UPS equipment
  • Automotive electrical testing

 

Why Choose This Model?

Compared with the KEW MATE 2000A and 2001A, the 2012RA uses True RMS detection rather than average-value measurement and increases the maximum AC/DC current range to 120A. It also provides a larger 12mm conductor capacity together with diode testing and capacitance measurement.
