Sanwa PC500A Digital Multimeter
The Sanwa PC500A is a compact, portable digital multimeter engineered for accurate measurement of low‑capacity electrical circuits. Housed in fire‑retardant, impact‑resistant materials, it provides clear readings on a 5000‑count LCD augmented by a 52‑segment bar‑graph display for real‑time trend monitoring. Its fast response 5 updates per second on digits and 60 per second on the bar graph enables technicians to track rapid signal changes effortlessly. Continuity checks are enhanced by an audible buzzer paired with a bright LED indicator, streamlining fault location in wiring and component testing.
The PC500A supports frequency measurement across five sensitivity levels and covers wide capacitance ranges from 50 nF to 9999 µF, accommodating both small signal components and larger capacitors. An auto power‑off feature conserves battery life by shutting down the meter after 17 minutes of inactivity. Equipped with a protective holster that doubles as a stand and lead holder, plus an RS‑232C interface for optional data logging, the PC500A is designed for both bench and field work.
Whether diagnosing home appliances, communications gear, or lighting circuits, this multimeter combines durability, versatility, and precision in a user‑friendly package.
