FEATURES, ADVANTAGES AND BENEFITS
DET4TC/R
F:
Tough rubber armoured IP54 rated instrument case.
A:
Case can withstand knocks, and the outdoor environments experienced when
earth testing.
B:
Instrument will last a long time, and will be ready to test when required.
----------------------------------------
F:
Supplied in tough blow moulded carry case.
A:
Keeps instrument, test leads, spikes, and optional clamps together and

F:
Supplied with calibration certificate, test leads and spike kit.
A:
Nothing more to buy to start testing.
B:
Saves time having to source separate leads and spikes. No waiting for
calibration to be carried out. No hidden costs. Convenient.

F: Back
light
A:
Easy to read in low light environments
B:
