GENERAL DESCRIPTION / DESCRIPTION GÉNÉRALE / DESCRIPCIÓN GENERAL
THIS ANALONG MULTI TESTER is a rugged, accurate, easy to operate pocket sized compact instrument. A high 10,000
ohms/VDC and 4,000 ohms/VAC sensitives and linear meter movement offers accurate measurements of DC and
AC voltages, direct currents, resistance and decibels and 90° ARC mirrored scale. The TESTER uses the most modern
components and circuit technics into high-impact case. If it is kept clean and is not subject to extreme shock of continuous
vibration the Tester will give you many years of trouble free service.
CE MULTITESTEUR ANALOGIQUE est un instrument compact de format de poche facile à utiliser. Un mouvement de
compteur linéaire et sensible jusqu’à 10 000 ohms et 4 000 VCA offre des mesures précises des tensions de CC et CA,
des courants directs, de la résistance et des décibels de même qu’une échelle à miroir 90° d’arc. Le TESTEUR utilise les
composants et les techniques de circuit les plus modernes dans un boîtier à haute résistance. S’il est maintenu propre et
n’est pas soumis à des chocs énormes de vibration continue le Testeur vous durera de nombreuses années
sans aucun problème.
