Multimeters (DMM)
Here you will find multimeters for measuring electrical magnitude in different fields of electrmultimeterso-technical and in electronics. All multimeters have a large, clear display and fit in the palm of the hand making them easy to handle. Multimeters are used, above all, in professional training, in education, the industrial sector and in workshops. They are invaluable to professionals due to their high level of accuracy. Here you will find all types of multimeters for taking measurements of low to high voltages. We offer devices that have manual or automatic range selection and with or without an RS-232 interface for transferring data to a computer. The corresponding test cables for these multimeters come with the device as well as batteries so that it is ready to use straight out of the box. Multimeters can be accompanied by an ISO calibration certificate either when it is ordered or included as part of an annual recalibration. This allows them to be integrated into the group of internal testing tools of a company. If you don't find the multimeters you are looking for, please contact us and we will help you find the best solution to suit your needs by calling our offices on: +44 ( 0 ) 191 377 3398
and our technical staff will advise you regarding our measuring instruments.

Definition and information of interest for multimeters:
The digital multimeter is for measuring electrical magnitudes, combining different modes and ranges of measurement in a single device. The standard features of a multimeter allow for measuring voltage and the intensity of current across different ranges. Normally the multimeter can be set for measuring continuous current (DC) or alternate current (AC). It is also capable of measuring resistance and cintinuity by using an audible signal. Modern digital multimeters now also offer the possibility of measuring frequency, capacity and temperature.

Analogue multimeters show readings by indicating different scales for different measurement ranges and presenting them with detailed markings to allow for readings to be taken properly. To prevent errors, high quality devices have the scale upon a mirrored surface to allow for readings to be taken adequately. Such high quality analogue multimeters can be accurate to within one percent of the indicated value. Measurements of alternating current are not as accurate in analogue multimeters due to a preconnected corrector.

Definition of Electricity

Electricity is a physical phenomenon which is caused by statical electric charges or in motion or by their interaction.

When a charge is at rest, it produces forces on other nearly charges.

If the charge is in motion, it also produces magnetic forces.

There are two types of electrical charges: positive and negative charges. 

Electricity is in some subatomic particles. The lighter particle with electric charge is the electron which carries out a charge unit.

Atoms have electrons under normal circunstances, and often they are further from the atomic nucleus and can be easily separated from it.

In some substances, as metals, free electrons proliferate. In this way a body is electrically charged thanks to the rearrangement of electrons.

An atom containing an equal number of protons and electrons is electrically neutral.

The amount of electric charge carried by electrons in the atom, which is negative, is balanzed by the positive charge located in the nucleus. If a body contains an exceso of electrons, it will be negatively charged. In contrast, the absence of electrons in a body means that it will be positively charged, due to the fact that there are more positive charges in the nucleus. 

Definition of direct current

Direct current (DC) is the unidirectional flow of electrons (negative charge) in a conductor (normally a a cooper cable or a wire), which goes from the negative to the positive terminal of a battery (only one direction) .

Definition of Alternating current

In alternating current (AC) the movement (or flow) of electric charge periodically reverses direction. An electric charge would for instance move forward, then backward, then forward, then backward, over and over again. In direct current (DC), the movement (or flow) of electric charge is only in one direction.

ISO calibration and certification
An ISO calibration certificate can be purchased for this multimeters. It includes a control document containing the contact details of the company and also contains a laboratory calibration and the certificate to ISO standards and will show that the multimeters meets the minimum requirements of the national body for measurements. More information with respect to:

Calibration: Control of the correction of the magnitudes of measurement for the multimeters, without intervention in the measurement system, or the determination of the systematic deviation of the display with respect to the real value of the magnitude of the measurement.
Calibration document or certificate: document of the technical properties of the device according to the national organization of measurement.

Calibration interval: to make correct measurements, devices must be calibrated at regular intervals. This period of time is called the calibration interval.  It's difficult to accurately determine this time period but to help you should consider the following factors:

  • Performance of the measuring instruments

  • Frequency of use

  • Operating conditions

  • Stability of previous calibrations

  • Required measurement accuracy

  • Determining factors of the quality control systems used by companies

This means that the same user should check and control the interval between calibrations. We recommend that this internal between calibrations should be between 1 and 3 years. We can also offer our expert advice to resolve any doubts relating to the process of establishing a calibration interval.

Besides, multimeters are provided with overload protection and protection against pole inversion, thus they are almost indestructible. Neither shocks nor falls can cause any damage, thus they have elements which cannot be broken. Some multimeters can measure frequency, capacitance, inductivity and they also have properties of transistors and diodes. Other multimeters have internal and external sensors available to measure temperature, moisture and noise. Range normally changes automatically. All other multimeters can be calibrated to meet the ISO standard to integrate them inside your internal set of control tools.
