The Megger AVO215 Handheld True-RMS Multimeter offers a wide range of functions in a pocket-sized, rugged package. The 4000 count high contrast negative display, combined with a back light, provides the user with easy to read results in all lighting conditions. The size of the case and position of the function switch and buttons means the instrument sits comfortably in the palm for single-handed use.

The instrument is capable of measuring AC/DC voltages up to 600 V and AC/DC currents up to 10 A (20 A possible for 30 seconds maximum). All AC function measurements are True RMS. Resistance ranges allow measurements from 0 to 40 MΩ with capacitance measurements from 0 to 4000 μF. In addition, frequency measurements between 10 Hz and 10 kHz are also possible. The duty cycle function allows the ratio of time that a circuit is energized compared to the time the circuit is de-energized to be displayed, expressed as a percentage of circuit on time. (Example: A 75% duty cycle is a signal that is on 75% of the time and off 25% of the time.) It is ideal for pulse wave/trains or pulse width mode (PWM) evaluation.

Functions are auto-ranging when first selected. The range button on the meter allows manual range selection across all functions; a feature that is generally welcomed by many users. The instrument has a MAX MIN function that lets the user switch between maximum and minimum measurements, meaning the user does not have to be continually monitoring the display to capture any momentary increase or fall in readings. The hold feature ensures a displayed result can be frozen on the display. The continuity range features a buzzer and provides the user an audio indication for identifying and confirming continuity between two points. The diode test provides forward and reverse bias testing of diode and semiconductor junctions. For convenience, the AVO215 also features a built in flashlight for when working in dark areas and is supplied with a DMM lead set and a protective carrying pouch.
