Digital Multimeter for HVAC Applications Model CA5260

Digital Multimeter for HVAC Applications
Model CA5260
The Model CA5260 was developed
specifically for air conditioning
professionals, heating engineers, field
service technicians, plumbers and
electricians.
The large, easy-to-read display provides the operator with direct readout
of temperature measurements using a
type K thermocouple as well as volts,
ohms, capacitance and continuity.
The ultra sensitive microamp current
range makes this meter an ideal
choice for measuring and setting
the ionization current, typically
35 to 75µADC, on gas fired boilers.
Three capacitance ranges of 40, 400
and 4000µF full scale provide a wide
capability in measuring starting capacitance of valve motors and other devices.
Direct function buttons make it
effortless for you to select AC or DC
measurements, keep track of Min and
max values, select centigrade or
fahrenheit for temperature measurement, turn the backlite on or off and
hold the reading on the display.
multimeter that will provide many
years of time saving measurements
for the HVAC professional.
Model CA5260 includes a pair of test
leads, a 9V battery, an adapter, a
bendable K-type thermocouple, a red
alligator clip and a user manual.
Combine these features with a
compact ergonomic design, rugged,
shockproof holster and a rugged
flexible lead set and you have a
