TY500 Digital Multimeter

The Yokogawa TY500 Series is a new range of general-purpose handheld digital multimeters which combine reliability, ease of use and safety for use in field maintenance applications. An important contribution to field site safety is provided by safety shutters, which prevent erroneous insertion of the test leads into the current measurement terminals.

The TY500 Series conforms to the requirements of the EN61010-1 safety standard and features a basic accuracy of 0.09% and a 3.5-digit 6000-count backlit display with a 31-segment bar graph. The series includes true RMS measurements as standard, along with functions such as thermocouple temperature measurement, low-pass filtering and optional current measurement using a clamp sensor.

There are two models: the standard Type TY520 and the advanced Type TY530. Both will measure DC voltage, AC voltage, DC current, AC current, resistance, frequency, temperature and capacitance, as well as carrying out continuity checking and diode testing. A low-pass filter is included as standard, and a direct reading current function is available via an optional current clamp sensor.

• Measurement Functions : DC Voltage, AC voltage, DC current, AC current, resistance, frequency, temperature, capacitance, continuity check, diode test For AC voltage/current, RMS/MEAN detection can be switched (TY530 only). Low-pass filter can be switched on/off

• Additional Functions : Data hold/auto hold/range hold, maximum/minimum/average values (TY530 only), resistance, relative and percentage value calculation, memory function (TY530 only), communication function (TY530 only), logging-mode memory (TY530 only), auto power off, backlight

• Power Supply : Four AA (R6) dry cells

• Battery Life : Approx. 300 hours (for continuous DC voltage measurement with alkaline cells)

• Withstanding Voltage : 6.88kV for 5 seconds (between input terminals and casing)]
