VC837A True RMS Auto Range Multimeter, Analog Bar, NCV

The VC837A is the analog-bar version of the VC837, a 6000-count auto-range True RMS multimeter in the VC800 series. The bar graph under the digits shows trends and unstable readings that a number alone hides, which helps when adjusting a circuit or watching a drifting signal. Ranges run from 600μA to 10A for current, up to 60mF for capacitance and up to 10MHz for frequency.

Key features

• Auto ranging, 6000 counts plus analog bar display
• DCV 600mV to 600V ±(0.5%+4); ACV 6V/60V/600V ±(0.8%+6)
• DCA and ACA 600μA to 10A
• Resistance 600Ω to 60MΩ ±(0.8%+1); capacitance 60nF to 60mF
• Frequency 10Hz to 10MHz; temperature -40℃~1000℃
• True RMS, NCV, torch, backlight, data hold, diode and continuity tests; safety rating CAT.III 300V

Applications

Adjusting potentiometers and power supplies while watching the bar, checking sensors and fluctuating circuits, electronics repair with μA ranges, and general electrical work up to 600V.

Choosing within the series

The VC837A and VC837 have identical measuring ranges. The difference is one feature each way: the VC837A has the analog bar display, the VC837 has duty cycle measurement (1%~99%). The VC836 also has an analog bar and 6000 counts, but only a single 10A current range. The VC835B is the 2000-count choice with duty cycle.
