Measurement tool specialist Uni-Trend’s UT122 smart multimeter is setting the standard for electrical measurements. “You clip it onto the cable in question and the UT122 automatically knows what is being measured, whether it’s volts or ohms,” explains Ian Downard, a founding member of Three-D Agencies, which brings Uni-T products into the country.
The UT122 is physically smaller than most cellular smartphones and, at just 19mm thick, it sits comfortably and lightly in the user’s hand. “It has a built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery and a USB-C charging port that allows the multimeter to charge quickly, and it is easier to transport and use – it slips into your back pocket. “There is a large-format LCD screen that makes it easy to read information,” says Downard, adding, “At a R1000 price point, this is a tool that every electrician and electrical contractor should have in their toolboxes.”
The Auto Range function is where the UT122 really excels, adds the Three-D executive. “It measures pretty much everything an electrician could need to test – voltage, resistance, capacitance … it even performs diode tests automatically. Instead of having to fiddle with knobs, buttons and settings as with traditional multimeters, the UT122 assesses the environment it is placed in and automatically, intuitively takes measurements. It is a smart tool in every sense of the word.”
