Introducing the new Wavetek Meterman XP Series Digital Multimeters

The new XP Series

of compact multimeters will replace the current XL compact multimeter line. As a result of the XP introduction, the XL meters are being obsoleted in early 2004. Five existing meters (5XL, 10XL, 15XL, 16XL, 35XL) will be replaced by 3 new meters (5XP, 15XP, 35XP). The 5XP, 15XP, and 35XP were designed to easily cross to the older XL Series, but they all provide new design, features, and benefits with no increase in price. The XP Series is a unique product designed by and exclusive to Wavetek Meterman.

Features that differentiate the new XP Series from other digital multimeters under $99:
VolTect Non-Contact Voltage Detector VolTect is built into every XP multimeter. VolTect allows the user to safely detect ac line voltages without contacting the circuit. A non-contact voltage sensor is integrated into the top surface of every XP multimeter. A front panel button activates the sensor when the top of the meter is held near an active ac line, a beeper and LED are activated notifying the user of the presence of voltage. Magne-Grip Holster with Magnetic Hanging Strap The Magne-Grip holster gives excellent protection to the unit against damage from drops, solvents, and harsh work conditions and also includes an integrated tilt bail for bench top use. The Magne-Grips magnet can be used to attach the meter to any steel surface, allowing the user to use both hands to make measurements. Electricians, field service technicians and HVAC/R technicians have found this feature especially valuable. Triple Safety Rated Wavetek Meterman, like its parent brand Fluke, has a large focus on customer safety. Each model of the XP Series is triple safety rated and designed to fully comply with safety standards. Each XP meter has full fusing on the current ranges and overvoltage protection. Each XP meter is triple safety rated to CAT I 1000 V, CAT II 600 V and CAT III 300 V. The units meet all CE requirements per IEC 61010 2d Edition and are also approved to the US-CSA-C standard (full equivalent of UL). Eye-catching clear plastic clamshell POP package to stimulate impulse sales.
