Get a better grip on your
DMM
The U1270 series is shaped perfectly to fit in
your hand, with or without gloves on. Its non-
slip ergonomic shape enables you to carry
your DMM and perform measurements on the
go easily. Additionally, the controls are easy to
operate due to the large knob and buttons.
Improve productivity with
intelligent features
Designed for maximum efficiency and
productivity in industrial settings, these
DMMs offer convenient functions such as
Z
to minimize false readings due to leakage
current and Qik-V to determine existence
of AC and/or DC voltages.

LOW
to eliminate stray voltages, Smart Ω
Continuity detection in noisy and dark places
is made easy with the U1270 series’ loud
beeper and Backlight Alert function which
flashes the backlight to indicate continuity
and improve safety.
When it comes to Variable Frequency Drive
(VFD) troubleshooting, the U1270 series has
Low Pass Filter to handle the job with ease.
Water and dust resistant
The series’ tightly sealed design helps protect
against water, dust and damage. Each DMM
is IP 54 certified so that you can carry out test
and measurement with confidence, even in
harsh working conditions.

... Figure 1: U1272A helps you identify the presence of stray voltage on a disconnected wire running parallel with the wire powering up the VFD to an industrial motor. The image on the right shows the U1272A in low impedance mode. Low Pass Filter (LPF) The U1270 series offers a 1 kHz LPF or Low Pass Filter to provide accurate Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) output measurement. This function eliminates high frequency noise and harmonics. This ensures the effi ...
