GENERAL SPECIFICATION
MX 2B and MX 1: These hard-wearing instruments
are the “4X4’s” of the multimeter world!
Audible continuity test
Using this continuity test with audible ‘beep’
signal connections can be checked when
carrying out resistance measurement.
Protection on all ranges
An input as high as 400 Vrms results in no
damage to the device, even when carrying out
resistance measurement. This ohmmeter
function is protected by an electronic circuit
which, without a fuse, is both reliable and
extremely quick to react. The input terminals
can take transient pulses up to 6 kV.
As for the current ranges, they are protected
by high rupturing capacity (HRC) safety fuses
against 600 V.
Safety Alarms
In ohmmeter use an audible warning signal
lets the user know if an AC network voltage is
applied at the input.
There is also a visible indicator that lights up if
a fuse is blown.
AC current measurement
The MX 2B comes with a current clamp for
current measurement that can be carried out
safely up to 200 A. The AM 13N clamp makes
current measurement possible without having
to break the circuit being measured.
Renowned rugged casing design
The professionally designed casing is splash-
proof and, thanks to a shock-proof surround,
also resistant to knocks and drops. Its smooth
casing design also makes it easy to clean.
Unfailing safety
The MX 2B and the MX 1 are completely dou-
bly insulated devices, good for measurement
up to 1500 V. Furthermore, the SECUR’X case-
locking system prevents accidental disconnec-
ting of the measurement leads. It also prevents
the opening of the casing, to change the fuses
or the battery, whilst the measurement leads
are still connected.
