The VC 871, from the VC-800 Reference series, offers impressive functions and exclusively a measurement adapter for earthed sockets. For the measurement of effective power, apparent power, phase shift, voltage, current and frequency of sockets and connected consumers. TFT display Armed. Individual. Sensational.An angle-independent color display with excellent contrast, which is also individually configurable. Depending on the lighting conditions, the display can be either positive (dark digits on a light background) or negative (night mode). Precise measurement and accurate indicationsWith 60,000 counts reading accuracy and a measuring basic accuracy of ± 0.08%, this handheld multimeter is in the upper class, which is normally reserved for laboratory table-top equipment. Revolutionary magnetic technology â both hands free for measuring tipsIncorporated in the housing, extra strong neodymium magnets ensure a secure hold at the control cabinet door. Thus, the device must no longer be placed on the ground when taking measurements. For measuring tasks on the construction site, one of the measuring tips can be magnetically fixed to the multimeter. Special measuring tips with incorporated ferromagnetic material adhere securely and firmly to the multimeter - but not to the control cabinet. One measuring tip together with the multimeter forms one unit in one hand and the other measuring tip in the other hand can be guided to the second measuring point. Fantastically flexible test leadsA silicone coating with wear indicator designed in two layers and colors provides some flexibility. The extremely fine wired construction, which is twisted for mechanical reinforcement with highly flexible and tear-resistant plastic fiber, enormously increases the flexibility. VOLTCRAFT brings this technology to series production of multimeters for the first time. Read from the distanceThe VC-871 communicates with Android or iOS devices via Bluetooth LE 4.0. For this purpose there are numerous uses: Measure in the engine compartment and read off on the smartphone inside, or measure in the control cabinet and press the buttons on the machine in order to be able to read off the measurement result at the same time on the Smartphone. A voice output can be switched. Moreover, the multimeter can be controlled remotely via a smartphone, e.g. to switch to Delta mode. Write and save measurement dataAll readings, depending on reading range, can be recorded using your smartphone or tablet. The display is done as a diagram as well as in tabular form. All recordings can be saved and exported at a later time or sent via e-mail. Up to three VC-871 can be logged at the same time. Each curve is displayed in a separate color in the diagram. This allows time-dependent changes to be read clearly. Make it your deviceMany functions can be configured individually. Automatic switch-off after 5, 10, 15 or 30 min. Or always on (is interesting for the data logger function). The background illumination for buttons and rotary switches can be set individually or always stay off. The beep sound during measurement range change can be turned on / off or the volume reduced.Direct power measurement - up to 2500 WattDirect measurement of power and phase difference in a separate switch position and with the help of the accompanying measuring adapter for earthing contact sockets. Active power, apparent power, voltage, current, power factor and frequency are displayed.Impedance switchingThe LoZ function makes it possible to measure alternating voltages with low impedance. The lower internal resistance of the measuring device reduces the measurement deviations due to stray and ghost voltages. Delta measurementFor measuring deviations of a specified value. This allows you to focus on the positive and negative changes and does not have to reckon with all the time.Sample ratioMeasurement rate or duty cycle refers to phase angle control, switched-mode power supplies and other digital switched devices to determine the percentage value between ON (pulse) and OFF.Min MaxThe highest and lowest values of a series of measurements are saved and displayed. Compare measurement seriesYou can define an upper and lower value in each setup. Also, whether the target value is to be within or outside the two values. In comparison mode, a pass or fail (depending on the defined conditions) is shown in the display in seconds in addition to the measurement value. It works not only with voltage values but also in all measuring ranges.Display and keypad lockSubtly incorporated edges protect the display, the rotary switch and all the keys.An elaborately produced 2-component casing with integrated soft-rubber protection not only provides grip, but also protects the device during rough applications. Anti-tippingThe broad bearing surface made of soft rubber provides much more stability when the stand is folded out. Non-slipLying and standing with connected measuring leads - the measuring device remai
