Style:B&K Precision 2706B The B&K Precision 2706B digital multimeter (also known as a multitester) is an average-sensing, manual-ranging meter that measures current, voltage, temperature, frequency, and capacitance, and performs diode and continuity tests in electrical applications. An audible continuity sensor confirms a circuit conducts electricity, and a diode test detects proper functioning of a circuit's diodes. Temperature measurements are taken using a K-type thermocouple (included). The LCD is backlit for readability in low light. It displays the present measurement or the highest or lowest reading in a session, for tracking sudden changes in readings. An alarm sounds when the test leads are connected to the wrong jack for the measurement being taken. The unit automatically turns off after 30 minutes of nonuse to conserve battery life, and a low-battery indicator signals when the meter's batteries need to be replaced. A magnetic strap is included for hanging the meter from a metal door or surface for hands-free use. This average-sensing, or average-responding, meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear loads, such as standard induction motors and incandescent lights, where the current or voltage has an undistorted waveform. It is a manual-ranging meter that requires the operator to choose the appropriate operating range for the property being measured. The LCD has a 2,000-count resolution, meaning it can display up to 1,999 units (3-1/2 digits) before the operating range needs to be changed. It meets International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard 61010 and is certified for Category II installations up to 1000V, which covers large household appliances and devices connected to a fixed power supply (such as refrigerators and air conditioners), Category III installations up to 600V, which covers items used with enclosed building circuit installations (such as service panel parts, branch circuits, and fixed installations that are connected directly to a building's AC power supply), and Degree 2 for indoor use. The meter includes a set of detachable test leads, a K-type thermocouple, a spare fuse, a 9V battery, a magnetic hanger, and instructions.

Multimeters are electrical test meters that measure multiple properties of an electrical circuit, such as current, voltage, resistance, capacitance, and continuity. Available in handheld or benchtop models, multimeters diagnose electrical problems in electrical equipment, wiring, and power supplies. A variety of probes, clamps, and leads can be used to connect the meter to a circuit or device. Multimeters display information either in analog or digital form. Factors that influence meter choice include the electrical properties to be measured, the anticipated range of results, and the desired level of protection against transient voltage. Safety ratings are based on International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards for low-voltage test equipment. IEC 61010 delineates four overvoltage installation categories. In general, a meter with a category IV rating will provide more protection against transient voltages than a meter with a lower category rating.
