Digital Multi-Meter

WhatsApp Order

A digital multi meter (DMM) is a versatile electronic measuring instrument that combines several measurement functions into a single device. It is commonly used by technicians and engineers to measure electrical parameters such as voltage, current, and resistance in electronic circuits. Unlike analog mustimeters, which use a moving needle to display readings, digital multi meters provide precise and easy-to-read numerical displays. Additionally, many DMMs offer features like continuity testing, diode testing, and capacitance measurement, making them essential tools for troubleshooting and maintaining electrical and electronic systems

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
  1. Read the User Manual:
    • Before using the DMM, thoroughly read the user manual provided by the manufacturer. This will help you understand the specific features, limitations, and safety precautions related to your particular model.
  2. Inspect the DMM:
    • Before each use, inspect the digital multi meter for any visible damage, exposed wires, or other issues. Do not use a damaged DMM, as it may pose a safety risk.
  3. Use the Right Function and Range:
    • Select the appropriate measurement function and range for the parameter you are measuring. Using the wrong function or range can lead to inaccurate readings and potential damage to the multi meter.
  4. Check Leads and Probes:
    • Ensure that the test leads and probes are in good condition without any visible damage. Use leads with the correct ratings for the measurements you are taking.
  5. Disconnect Power Sources:
    • Before connecting or disconnecting test leads, make sure to turn off power sources and equipment to prevent electrical shock or damage to the multi meter.
  6. Start with the Highest Range:
    • When uncertain about the magnitude of a measurement, start with the highest range and work your way down. This helps avoid overloading the multi meter and protects against potential damage.
  7. Set to the Off Position:
    • When not in use, set the multi meter to the off position to conserve battery life and prevent accidental measurements.
  8. Be Cautious with High Voltage:
    • Exercise extreme caution when working with high-voltage circuits. Ensure that the multi meter is rated for the voltages you are measuring and follow appropriate safety procedures.
  9. Keep Hands Dry:
    • Avoid using the multi meter with wet hands to reduce the risk of electrical shock. If working in damp or wet conditions, take extra precautions and use appropriate personal protective equipment.
  10. Use Proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
    • Depending on the nature of the work, consider using PPE such as safety glasses or gloves to protect against potential hazards.
  11. Stay Alert and Focused:
    • Pay attention to your surroundings and be focused on the task at hand. Avoid distractions to prevent errors or accidents.
  12. Know Emergency Procedures:
    • Familiarize yourself with emergency procedures, such as the location of emergency shut-offs and first aid kits, in case of an accident.

Crimping Pliers for Coaxial Cable

Crimping pliers for coaxial cable are specialized hand tools designed for terminating or connecting coaxial cables by securely attaching connectors to the cable ends. The term "crimping" refers to the process of deforming a metal sleeve or collar around the cable and connector, creating a reliable electrical and mechanical connection. These pliers typically have a jaw or die set that is matched to the specific type and size of coaxial connectors being used. The user places the connector onto the stripped end of the coaxial cable, positions it within the crimping die, and then squeezes the handles of the pliers to compress the metal sleeve, forming a tight and durable connection. This process ensures proper electrical conductivity and prevents signal leakage or interference in coaxial cable installations.
