Three New Handheld Test & Measurement Tools

Diagnosing problems on the jobsite just got easier thanks to the launch of three new handheld test and measurement tools from RIDGID (Belgium). The company is adding the micro DM-100 digital multimeter, the micro CM-100 digital clamp meter and the micro HM-100 temperature humidity meter to its extensive diagnostics portfolio.

Featuring a double-molded, water-resistant (1m) IP67 housing, this drop-proof piece of kit can withstand the harshest jobsite conditions. The micro DM-100 is a True RMS and AutoRanging unit, giving contractors fast, accurate measurements in all applications.

It offers 11 electrical functions ranging from AC/DC voltage & current (1000V) to temperature measurements. The DM-100 is also rated for industrial use (CAT III-1000V & IV-600V), and features an extra-large backlit LCD display for clear readings.

Another True RMS & AutoRanging unit, the micro CM-100 has a large capacity and measuring range. It can clamp around cables up to 30mm O.D. and measure current up to 1000A AC/DC.

The micro CM-100 can also be used as a multimeter for eight other functions, and gives clear and accurate readings via its large backlit LCD display.

The slim, double-molded design makes the tool easy for contractors to grip with one hand – ideal for confined cable compartments.

This professional, easy-to-use device accurately measures air humidity and temperature, with the  %RH and °C /°F instantly and simultaneously displayed on the dual backlit LCD. With one push of a button contractors can quickly assess indoor air quality, air conditioning systems, ventilation and storage conditions.

The micro HM-100 is perfect for any HVAC environment – it automatically calculates the dew point and wet bulb temperature, while its capacitance sensor easily withstands condensation and high temperatures.

Enver Celik, RIDGID product manager, comments: “We’ve had really positive feedback from contractors on the rugged design and extensive features of our current line of test and measurement tools, like the laser distance meter, infrared thermometer, gas leak detector, cross line laser and inspection cameras.

“This feedback very much guided the concept and development of the new micro DM-100, CM-100 and HM-100 tools. They make diagnostics really easy and contractors can rely on fast, accurate results – exactly what they expect from RIDGID tools.”
