Model UT81C: OPERATING MANUAL

Overview

This Operating Manual covers information on safety
and cautions. Please read the relevant information
carefully and observe all the 

Warnings

 and 

Notes

strictly.

        Warning
To avoid electric shock or personal injury, read the
“Safety Information” and “Rules for Safe Operation”
carefully before using the Meter.

Scope Digital Multimeter

 UT81C 

(hereafter referred to

as “the Meter”) is a 3999 counts and 3 3/4 digits adopting
digital control techique with both waveform and
multimeter all in one.

Scope mode is a complete intelligent measurement
system including signal input, sampling, data process,
auto search and waveform save and recall.  It has

Chapter 1

Before You Start

bandwidth UT81C:16MHz real-time sample rate 80MS/s
with peak rate sampling process can catch up pulse
industrial signal.  It can measure AC/DC engine,
transducer, circuit, control, UPS and industrial
equipments.  It is an ideal tools in professional repairing
industries.

Digital Multimeter mode can measure AC voltage and
current, DC voltage and current, Resistance,
Capacitance, Frequency, Duty Cycle, Diodes and
Continuity.
