2.1. MG300 True RMS Multimeter/Insulation Tester

The MG300 is a robust True RMS multimeter with an integrated insulation resistance tester. It offers a 1000V test voltage and a 4000MΩ range for insulation measurements. Key features include wireless data recording for remote monitoring, duty cycle measurements, and milliamp readings for 4-20mA current loops in industrial process controls. The device is IP67-rated for water and dust resistance and CAT IV rated for enhanced safety.

2.2. 42509 12:1 Infrared Thermometer

The 42509 is a 12:1 infrared thermometer designed for efficient temperature control and monitoring. It boasts a fast 150 ms response time and an innovative color alert system: the display illuminates blue for normal conditions and bright red for alarm conditions, allowing for quick identification of anomalies. It features a 950-degree range, adjustable emissivity for improved accuracy, Max/Hold modes, and dual laser pointers to precisely define the measurement area.

2.3. MA430T 400A True RMS AC Clamp מעטער

The MA430T is a compact 400A True RMS AC Clamp Meter, ideal for taking measurements in confined spaces. It features an ample 1.2-inch (30mm) jaw opening to accommodate conductors up to 350 MCM. Its True RMS capability ensures accurate readings even with distorted waveforms. Other features include a large, illuminated display for visibility in poorly lit areas and a thumb-dial selector for convenient one-handed operation. A built-in non-contact voltage detector enhances safety.
