Product Description
The PEAKMETER PM2018B is a compact, auto-ranging digital clamp meter designed for precise electrical measurements in professional and DIY settings. Featuring a 6000-count dual LCD with backlight and flashlight, it measures AC/DC voltage, AC current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, continuity, and temperature, with non-contact voltage (NCV) detection for safety. Its 26mm clamp width and low-pass filter (LPF) enhance AC signal accuracy, making it ideal for HVAC, automotive, and industrial applications. Lightweight and durable, it includes true RMS, data hold, and auto power-off, meeting CAT III 600V safety standards.
