A digital multimeter measures the fundamental electrical quantities — voltage, current, and resistance — that define every powered circuit. True RMS multimeters extend that capability to non-sinusoidal waveforms, which appear throughout modern electronics wherever switching power supplies, variable-frequency drives, or distorted line conditions are present. An auto-ranging meter selects the appropriate measurement scale automatically, reducing setup time and the risk of selecting a range that under-resolves the signal.

The 2709B is an auto-ranging True RMS handheld digital multimeter from the BK Precision 2700 Tool Kit Series. It combines a 6600-count 3 3/4 digit LCD with a green backlight, an auto/manual ranging selector, and a measurement suite covering DC voltage to 1000 V, AC voltage to 750 V, AC and DC current to 10 A, resistance to 66 MΩ, capacitance to 66 mF, and frequency to 66 MHz. Diode test and continuity test are included, with continuity audible indication below 30 Ω and a 100 ms response time.

ValueTronics has supplied test and measurement equipment to engineering and field-service teams since 1992 from our 20,000 sq ft secure warehouse at 1675 Cambridge Drive, Elgin, Illinois. Every instrument moving through our facility is handled by people who work with this category of equipment every day, so when a customer asks about a 2709B — whether for a single bench, a fleet of service vans, or a calibration replacement — the answer comes from someone who has the unit on hand rather than a drop-shipped catalog listing.

## Accessories Supplied

-   One set test leads
