Digital Multimeters

Digital multimeters are helpful for precisely and swiftly measuring voltage, current, resistance, and continuity in countless types of electrical circuits.

They act as a voltmeter, ammeter and ohmmeter while also being able to measure capacitance, frequency, and gain of transistors.


How to Measure Voltage

  • Plug the black lead into the COM terminal and plug the red lead into the V terminal.
  • To measure AC (Alternating Current) voltage, switch the dial to V~ or to measure DC (Direct Current) voltage, switch the dial to V⎓. AC is used to measure household items such as microwaves and wall sockets. DC is used to measure batteries, cars, or small electronics.
  • Set the voltage range to higher than what the product is meant to output for an accurate reading. If you are measuring a 12V battery and there are settings for 10V and 20V set the dial to 20, if you are unsure of the voltage set the dial to its highest voltage rating.
  • Touch the probe on both ends of the power source.
  • Touch the probe on both ends of the power source.
  • Once the probes are connected a reading will appear on the multimeter.





Load Testers

PORTABLE LOAD TESTERS

Carbon Pile Load Tester: This type of tester generally includes two analogue meters, one to show the test voltage and another to show the load test amperage. A carbon pile load tester has carbon plates inside that act as a fixed or adjustable resistor. They provide an insight into the batteries behaviour while starting and help diagnose intermittent faults with batteries. When the test is performed, a load is applied to the battery for around 15 seconds, at the end of the 15 seconds the amount of load amperage applied to the battery should be half of the CCA rating of the battery.




Digital Battery Analysers

QUICK AND EASY TO USE

Digital Battery Analysers quickly test a wide array of data, all of which is shown on the digital display. For Projecta’s Battery Analysers this includes CCA, battery voltage, percentage of battery health and general battery condition. On some devices this data can also be printed out; this can come in handy when dealing with a customer at a shop level.
