AEMC Model 512 Clamp Meter

 The AEMC Clamp-on Meter Model 512 is a general purpose professional clamp-on meter that measures up to the toughest standards. It is built into a rugged mechanical case and is designed using quality polycarbonate materials.

This meter offers a complete set of measurement ranges and is in compliance with international safety and quality standards to ensure a professional and reliable measuring tool.

The Model 512 is autoranging and provides the best measurement range and resolution for troubleshooting. It has a high resolution 40A range.

The Model 512 measures AC Amps, AC Volts, DC Volts, Ohms, Continuity (with beeper), Frequency (from V or A) and has a Diode Test function.

The Model 512 is sized for a comfortable, one-handed operation. This model is a True RMS clamp-on that provides RMS measurements for today's non-linear electrical environments.

The Model 512 includes a pair of test leads (red/black with probe tips), 9V battery, soft carrying pouch and a user manual.
