The HD160C is designed for profes-
sional use in harsh environments.
The meter is unusually rugged and
reliable in everyday heavy use ap-
plications. The meter is made using
waterproof construction to prevent
dirt, grime and moisture from enter-
ing the case and causing inaccurate
readings or damaging shorts.
Built of tough, fire-retardant
thermoplastic resistant to grease
and chemical spills, with all sensi-
tive components shock-mounted for
a drop resistance to at least eight
feet.
Model HD160C has an extended
voltage measurement capability of
1500 V dc and 1000 V ac, unmatched
by any other line of digital multime-
ters. The extended voltage ranges
can withstand transients up to 12 kV.
