DT-9281 & DT-9281A: Versatile AC/DC Clamp Meters for Comprehensive Diagnostics
Master both AC and DC systems with one advanced tool. The DT-9281 and DT-9281A are professional 600A AC/DC True RMS clamp meters that build upon the DT-9280 by adding DC current measurement capability. Both models include the full suite of advanced features: Low Impedance (LoZ) mode, Inrush Current measurement, and a Low Pass Filter (LPF) for accurate readings on Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). They share a 6000-count backlit display and rugged design, making them ideal for complex electrical and electronic diagnostics.
Key Features & Specifications (Common to Both):
Dual Current Measurement: Measure both AC and DC current up to 600A with high accuracy. Essential for automotive, battery systems, solar, and industrial DC circuits.
Full Advanced Diagnostic Suite:
Low Impedance (LoZ) Mode: For reliable voltage readings.
Inrush Current: For motor/transformer startup analysis.
Low Pass Filter (LPF): Ensures accuracy on VFD outputs and noisy signals.
Professional Multimeter Functions: Measure AC/DC Voltage (1000V), Resistance (60MΩ), Capacitance (100mF), Frequency (100kHz), and Temperature.
Safety & Utility: NCV detection, flashlight, data/peak hold, auto power-off, and a 34mm jaw.
DT-9281A Additional Feature:
Relative (REL/Zero) Function: Allows nulling out test lead resistance or measuring differential values, a useful feature for precise comparisons.
Ideal For:
Industrial electricians and maintenance technicians working with mixed AC/DC systems.
HVAC/R technicians dealing with VFD-controlled motors and compressor diagnostics.
Automotive and renewable energy (solar) technicians.
Advanced troubleshooting where DC current measurement is required.
Accessories Included: Test Leads, Temperature Probe, 3x AAA Batteries, Gift Box with Carrying Case.
Choose the DT-9281A if the Relative (Zero) function is important for your precision work.
