Product Description for BE44 Current Probe Meter with True-RMS-Funktion
Its professional features make this rugged pliers amp meter a reliable and perfect measuring instrument for home users as well as electricians, craftsmen and service technicians. By using this probe you can quickly and easily measure AC voltages in electrical conductors without having to turn them off, or check about DC networks in the car...
With the compact current probe BE44, you are always on the safest side with AC voltage measurements of up to 750 volts. Because with the pliers you will be able to enclose the electrical conductor and the measuring device detects contactless whether voltage is applied by measuring the electromagnetic field. This 'galvanic isolation' avoids any direct contact between the circuit to be measured, which makes it possible to carry out tests on running systems.
In addition, the tester allows you to measure currents up to 1000 A in the AC and DC range as well as the determination of DC voltage up to 1000 volts, both adjustable via the manual or automatic range selection. Because, for instance, the DC mains in the car can also be checked, the BE44 current clamp is the ideal measuring device for passionate car hobbyist and professionals in the automotive sector.
With one spin to the next measurement
The BE44 has all common standard measurement functions such as resistance, duty cycle, and frequency measurement, which you can easily select with the practical rotary switch. Further information can be found on the LCD display: The bar graph indicator shows you how close you are to an electrical conductor or its electric field. The diode tester and the continuity test also allow you to reliably control the electrical system of a car.
With the equipment of a real professional
All measurement results are displayed on the backlit 1.8-inch LCD screen. In addition, the clamp meter scores points with features such as the HOLD function, polarity and overload indicators, and a MIN / MAX indicator. In addition, the battery-saving automatic switch-off and a display with low battery capacity also ensure trouble-free use of the BE44, as the LED lamp integrated between the two collet jaws makes it possible to work safely even in low light conditions.
The difference between conventional measuring devices and those with a true RMS function
During measurement, a digital measuring device without a true RMS function assumes that the measured AC signal is sinusoidal and thus converts the raw signal to be used for the display. In reality, however, the current flow is never purely sinusoidal; devices such as switching power supplies, speed or power regulators etc. cause interference, which in turn results in distorted current curves. As these are no longer purely sinusoidal, they cannot be measured correctly without the true RMS function.
True RMS measuring devices can also correctly measure non-sinusoidal signal curves and are therefore able to directly determine the true RMS value of any AC variable. The "True Root Mean Square" stands for the correct determination and output of the true RMS value.Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
MultiMeasure mobile app - smart measurement data acquisition and analysis
The MultiMeasure Mobile app, which is available free of charge, makes the recorded measurement data even more transparent. Just like the MultiMeasure Studio Professional 2.0 analysis software developed by Trotec for cross-device management, analysis and reporting of measurement data on the PC, the MultiMeasure Mobile app, which is available free of charge for Android and iOS devices, also enables professional measurement data management with a wide range of useful functions. The BE44 hand-held measuring device and numerous other measuring devices with a Bluetooth® interface are automatically recognised by the app and can be quickly and easily connected wirelessly to the mobile device.
