Classic Style Digital Multimeter with Phase Rotation - LT16A - The HVAC/R Detective’s True RMS Meter - LT16A
The LT16A is a classic style multimeter with True RMS meter and phase rotation. This manual ranger covers the electrical parameters you need for HVAC/R and, with detachable test leads, works with our accessory heads to test non-electrical parameters too. The LT16A meter measures current, resistance, voltage, capacitance, frequency, continuity and more. Test leads store in the meter body along with the tilt stand and magnetic hanger. The body is constructed of durable ABS plastic and a blue backlight makes the large LCD even more visible. We like to call this the HVAC/R detective’s meter. It’s the meter for technicians that like to search down, figure out and solve electrical mysteries on a system.
How Does it Work?
The LT16A is a True RMS manual ranging DMM that comes with an amp clamp and includes phase rotation for testing three-phase motors. Use the MIN/MAX function to record highs and lows. The continuity beeper tells you if a circuit is open or closed. Operation of the LT16A is easy. Simply select a range and test to hunt down those electrical culprits.
Selecting Ranges.
For DC voltage, set the meter to the VDC parameter instead of VAC as shown below. For all ranges and functions choose a range just above the value you expect. If display reads "OL" (overload), select a higher range. If display shows less than three numbers, select a lower range for better resolution.
Competitive Advantages.
The electrical parameters on this meter are among the most comprehensive in the industry. Add the capability of testing all the other parameters you need for HVAC/R field service through accessory head instruments, and this meter goes from contender to a hands-down favorite. Literally. Use the included deluxe silicone lead set to hook up the V and COM leads, hang or tilt the meter out of the way, and use the included third yellow lead to perform a “no-hands” test on a three-phase motor. Although there are a lot of great electrical meters out there, not many can match the LT16A in it’s versatility for HVAC/R electrical testing.
