UNI-T UT161E 1000V True RMS Digital Multimeters
The UNI-T UT161E is a rigorously engineered handheld digital multimeter designed for serious electrical testing. As a member of the UT161 series, it stands out with its generous 22,000-count display—significantly higher than the 6,000-count variants offering superb resolution and clarity in readings. Its construction and layout convey a balance of durability and ergonomics, with a high-visibility LCD and responsive interface that suit both bench and field work.
This model delivers comprehensive test capabilities across AC/DC voltage up to 1000 V, high-current inputs reaching 20 A, and extended measurements for resistance, capacitance, frequency, temperature, and more. The inclusion of both visible and audible alarms equips users with real-time alerts of critical thresholds or unsafe conditions.
Built to meet European safety requirements, the UT161E includes robust input protection and carries CE, UKCA, and cETLus certifications. Offered at a highly competitive price point, it succeeds the popular UT61E model, delivering enhanced performance and broad measuring capabilities making it an excellent fit for both electronics professionals and advanced hobbyists.
