September 12, 2007—Agilent Technologies Inc. has expanded its handheld digital multimeter (DMM) portfolio with the introduction of the Agilent U1240A Series, the company has announced. This new series provides functions that are optimal for installation and maintenance applications.
The new Agilent DMM allows field or facilities technicians and engineers to do more than just voltage, current and resistance measurements. For instance, the Agilent U1240A Series lets users observe open/close switch behaviors in the presence of intermittent signals, says Agilent.
Users can also easily gauge the extent of transformer heating or the efficiency of refrigeration systems with the DMM’s dual and differential temperature capabilities, the company says. This, coupled with its microamp measurement function, is especially handy for troubleshooting HVAC equipment and sensors.
When maintaining AC motors or troubleshooting circuit breakers that trip prematurely, the Agilent U1240A Series helps users quickly verify the presence of harmonics that may have caused device overheating. With its internal memory, the DMM lets users conveniently perform data collection on-the-go for later analysis.
Agilent Technologies is a premier measurement company and a technology leader in communications, electronics, life sciences and chemical analysis.
