Sanwa Multimeter YX 360 TRF – 200Ω, Capacitance, dB, Li Measurement

Introduction

Sanwa Multimeter is a digital multimeter that is capable of providing various measurements including AC voltage, DC voltage, Alternating current, Direct current, capacitance, and resistance. Its continuity is more accurate than that of analog testers. It can also provide certain additional functions including logging functions, and display of maximum and minimum value. Its brand name is Sanwa. It is considered a modern style of its type. Its observable weight is 320 grams. Its dimensions can be described as 6.28x 5.08x 1.63 inches as L X W X H. Its item number is YX- 360TRF. The required batteries for this multimeter are 2 AA. It was manufactured for the first time on November 6, 2012. The name of its manufacturer is Sanwa.

Specifications

Sanwa multimeter is considered a more modern and advanced multimeter than others on behalf of its certain qualities. Let’s discuss its specifications.

Resistance

One of its specifications is its measurement of resistance which can involve the measuring range of 2k/20k/200k/2M Ohm/ 200M Ohm. Its tolerance range lies between ±3% of arc and ±5% of arc.

Capacitance

If we talk about one more specification of Sanwa multimeter then it is totally about the measurement of capacitance. Its measuring range of capacitance is 10 micro Farad. And its tolerance range is of approximate value.

Decibel (dB)

Sanwa multimeter can also measure decibel value. Its measuring range lies between -10dB~ +22dB (for 10VAC) ~+ 62 dB. And its tolerance range is of approximate value.

Load current

Sanwa multimeter can also measure load current within the range of 0-150m/15m/1.5m/150 micro/ 1.5 microampere. Its tolerance range lies within approximate values.

Applications

Some essential applications of this useful device are discussed, which one must know as it is a multitester that can be taken anywhere for the measurement of those circuits that are based on low voltage.

• It can be used in small conversational machinery.
• It also has its applications within domestic electric tools.
• It can also measure the voltage of the lump line and different kinds of batteries.

Pros of Sanwa multimeter

The benefits of using this multimeter are discussed below:

• All the required values that are measured by this multimeter can be read directly with ease and all the output values are extremely accurate.
• The value of input impedance is very high in this digital multimeter but it has the capability of providing output with very little instrumental loss.
• Its resistance is very high up to 200MΩ but its voltage appears very low.
• Its body is wrapped with a protective cover, in order to avoid any damage.
• In its presence, there is no danger of shock.

Cons of Sanwa multimeter

Every tool has something flaws along with a list of its benefits. So the Disadvantages that can be seen during the use of the Sanwa multimeter are as follows:

• Fluctuation in the output reading can be seen until the stabilization of the reading. It makes their understanding of digital values very difficult.
• In certain applications, it becomes very difficult for the reading values to settle down. So, one can say that the rate of its progress is slow.
• Working of such digital Multimeters is affected by external noise very fast.

Conclusion

To sum up the discussion, one can say that the Sanwa multimeter is an effective tool that has the caliber of measurement of many readings. So, it is a multifunctional device that must be used. But during its use, one should keep in mind all its limitations to avoid any inconvenience.
