The RS PRO RS12 digital multimeter (DMM) is a handheld tool which can measure capacitance, voltage, current, resistance and temperature. It comes with manual ranging so you can select the range you desire via the dial on the front of the device. There is also a “hold” function available in the compact design making it very user-friendly. The RS12 multimeter is also CAT III rated for 600V.

Measuring diode, voltage, current, resistance and temperature the battery powered device is great for continuity and portability. A robust, double-moulded, plastic housing provides ultimate protection from harsh environments. Included with the multimeter itself are electrical test leads, type K temperature probe, 9V battery and a user manual. The RS12 is RS Approved, meaning not only is it great value for money, but you can rely on its quality.

Safety guidelines
When using any electrical test equipment it is advised that you refer to the user’s manual for proper working operating procedures and safety precautions in order to avoid potential safety hazards.

What is the difference between an analogue and a digital multimeter?
The main difference is the display. A digital multimeter will show the results as numbers on a screen (usually a LED or LCD screen) whereas the analogue version has a needle to show the value.
