DMM incorporates IR camera for accurate thermal fault investigations

November 27, 2018 By Lee Teschler Leave a Comment

The HT Mercury Digital Multimeter is a true RMS DMM capable of conducting diode tests and measuring ac/dc voltage up to 1000 V, ac/dc current up to 10 A as well as resistance, continuity, frequency, capacitance and temperature with a K-type probe. The built-in infrared camera with 80×80-pixel resolution can obtain simultaneous readings of thermal as well as electrical values for an item under test. The thermal camera helps to simply and quickly detect hot spots caused by electrical problems, shorts, or malfunctions. The infrared sensor can detect a temperature range from -20 to 260°C with 0.1°C sensitivity.

Other major functions in the HT Mercury include an “AC+DC” mode to ht-mercuryaccommodate dc components on ac signals, and a variety of current measurement ranges with standard and flexible transducer clamps. The F3000U 30/300/3000A clamp is provided with HT Mercury.

This versatile DMM features a data-logging function which can measure and save recordings of each parameter, as well as displaying values on a helpful analog bar graph on the LCD. Thermal snapshots can be saved in BMP format on a micro SD card. Datalogged and displayed graphs can be saved in the internal memory and on the SD card. A built-in Bluetooth connection can wirelessly access other mobile devices (tablet/smartphone) through the HTMercury App for quickly creating reports of measurement results.

By using a variety of ac/dc transducers, the range of dc and ac measurements is virtually unlimited from mA to kA, and mV to kV. All standard DMM features are provided: voltage, current, capacitance, diode test, temperature using external K-type probes, with MAX/MIN/PEAK/HOLD/REL functions, etc. The sampling rate is selectable from 1s to 15min, and there’s even a built-in white-light flashlight.

Each measurement function can be selected by a simple rotary switch. Additional functions provided include HOLD to keep displayed data, MAX/MIN, PEAK and Auto Power OFF to conserve the internal rechargeable battery. The instrument was designed in compliance with safety standards IEC/EN61010-1 with double insulation protection according to CAT IV 600V or CAT III 1000V. An ISO 9000 Calibration Certificate is included.

Housed in an attractive IP65-protected dust-tight case, the HT Mercury is made in Europe by HT Instruments. It is available now from Saelig Co. Inc., HT Instrument’s authorized North American distributor.
