- Digital multimeter measures current, voltage and resistance.
- Average-sensing meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear loads where the current or voltage has an undistorted waveform.
- Audible continuity sensor confirms a circuit conducts electricity, and diode test detects proper functioning of a circuit's diodes.
- LCD shows readings in digits and on a 34-segment bar graph.
- Meets International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard 61010 and is certified for Category III installations up to 600V.
The BK Precision Mini-Pro 2407A digital multimeter (also known as
a multitester) is an average-sensing, auto-ranging meter for
measuring current, voltage, and resistance in electrical testing
applications. The meter comes with a set of detachable test
leads. An audible continuity sensor confirms a circuit conducts
electricity, and a diode test detects proper functioning of a
circuit’s diodes. The LCD shows readings in digits and on a
34-segment bar graph. The hold function keeps a reading on the
display, even after the meter is disconnected. The unit
automatically turns off after 10 minutes of nonuse to conserve
battery life, and a low-battery indicator signals when the
meter's batteries need to be replaced.
This average-sensing , or average-responding, meter provides
accurate readings when measuring linear loads, such as standard
induction motors and incandescent lights, where the current or
voltage has an undistorted waveform. When turned on, the meter is
in auto-ranging mode and automatically selects the correct
operating range for the property being measured. It can be
switched to manual-ranging mode, which allows the operator to
choose the appropriate operating range. The LCD has a 3,200-count
resolution, meaning it can display up to 3,199 units (3-1/2
digits) before the operating range needs to be changed. It meets
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard
61010 and is certified for Category III installations up to 600V,
which covers items used with enclosed building circuit
installations (such as service panel parts, branch circuits, and
fixed installations that are connected directly to a building's
AC power supply).

is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.
Multitesters (also called multimeters) are electrical test meters
that measure multiple properties of an electrical circuit, such
as current, voltage, resistance, capacitance, and continuity.
Available in handheld or benchtop models, multitesters diagnose
electrical problems in electrical equipment, wiring, and power
supplies. A variety of probes, clamps, and leads can be used to
connect the meter to a circuit or device. Multitesters display
information either in analog or digital form. Factors that
influence meter choice include the electrical properties to be
measured, the anticipated range of results, and the desired level
of protection against transient voltages. Safety ratings are
based on the International Electrotechnical Commission's (IEC)
standards for low-voltage test equipment. IEC 61010 delineates
four overvoltage installation categories. In general, a meter
with a category IV rating will provide more protection against
transient voltages than a meter with a lower category rating.
