Rolson 27259 Multi Meter Digital 500v

The Rolson Digital Multimeter 500v (27259) is a low-cost multimeter designed for basic electrical measurements around the house or workshop. Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities and specifications:

Functions:

• DC Voltage: Measures direct current (DC) voltage in a range of 0-200mV, 0-2000mV, 0-20V, 0-200V, and 0-500V. This allows you to check battery voltage, test appliance power, and perform other DC voltage measurements.
• AC Voltage: Measures alternating current (AC) voltage in a range of 0-200V and 0-500V. This is useful for checking household outlet voltage or verifying power supply to appliances.
• DC Current: Measures direct current (DC) in a range of 0-200uA, 0-20mA, 0-200mA, and 0-500mA. This function is helpful for checking battery drain, testing small electronic components, or troubleshooting circuits. (Note: Some retailers may list the maximum DC current range as 5A, so confirm the specifications if a wider range is important for you.)
• Resistance: Measures resistance in a range of 0-200Ω, 0-2KΩ, 0-20KΩ, 0-200KΩ, and 0-2000KΩ. This allows you to test continuity in wires, check component functionality, or troubleshoot circuits.
• Battery Test: This function helps determine the health of a battery by measuring its voltage.
• Diode and Continuity Test (possible): Some models may include this functionality for testing diodes and checking for continuity in circuits with an audible buzzer indicating a complete circuit.
• Low Battery Indicator: Alerts you when the multimeter’s battery needs replacement.
• Data Hold (possible): This feature allows you to freeze the displayed reading on the screen for easier viewing.
• Overload Protection: Protects the meter from damage caused by exceeding its measurement range.
