Features:
- Unique AutoTect feature directs the meter to know if it is measuring AC volts, DC volts or resistance with no user interface required.
- The AutoTect feature has lower input impedance, which zeros out ghost voltages.
- Measures capacitance, frequency, continuity with beeper.
- Includes VolTect, a built-in, noncontact AC voltage detector.
- Complete user protection with full safety ratings of CAT III 300 V, CAT II 450 V and cULus listing.
- Large oversize digital display.
- Protective silicon holster included, attached test leads, battery and manual.
Warranty: One-year, no-hassle

Description
Automatic digital multimeter with VolTect
The worlds smallest full-featured CAT III rated multimeters. The PM series of multimeters have many features in a very compact size. With an oversize display plus one button function control.
The PM53 offers easy on-button access to all its advanced functions. It contains features of a larger meter in such a small unit. The PM53 is fully autoranging and has VolTect, a built-in non-contact AC voltage detector. Plus it uses AutoTect to automatically detect the measurement of AC volts, DC volts or resistance. Safety rated to Cat III 300V, CAT II 450V, cULus listed.
Included accessories:
- Battery (installed)
- Attached test leads
- H-PM silicone holster
- Users manual
