Operational down to –40 °C temperature
The U1273AX OLED handheld digital multimeter, the latest addition to U1270 Series, is capable of operating in winter weather down to –40°C temperature.
Even in frigid conditions, the U1273AX enables you to achieve immediate and accurate results without the need to warm up in advance.
OLED for more display clarity
Designed with OLED display, you can experience crystal-clear measurement readings with its outstanding 2000:1 contrast ratio. The display also allows wider viewing angles up to 160 degrees ensuring you get the right readings at the first glance even in poorly lit environments.
Increase productivity with Bluetooth® wireless connectivity
For wireless connectivity to smartphones and tablets, the U1270 Series is compatible with the U1177A infrared-to-Bluetooth adapter for maximum efficiency and productivity in completing measurements tasks.
Adding the optional U1177A to a U1270 Series you can easily perform remote monitoring and data logging via Android devices or Windows®-based PC.

  • A little diffuculty in believing that one can touch an object which is just taken from a -40°C chamber with his bare hands.

    Its just my preconception about low temperature,i havn't experimented a temperature below 0°C. If i am little wierd do laugh at me,all goes in a sportsman spiritimage.

    At work we handle bits straight out of the chamber down to -70 or so. If it was metal or a material that conducts heat quickly, you'd be right. But as it's plastic, -40 isn't too bad at all and doesn't make your hands particularly cold. Keeping the accuracy of that meter working down to -40 though, pretty impressive.

    Do anybody has an idea of techology used inside this multimIeter to keep it working in so lower temperatures?.I hope for some superconductivty related technologies used with great structural design. Lets hope we get a chance to open it upimage.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's just in the insulation of the case - would be a lot easier to design a rugged outer shell that protects the stuff inside from the cold than to use electronics specifically designed for low temperatures. Don't expect superconductors though, even "high temperature" superconductors have transition temperatures around -135°C (bismuth strontium calcium copper oxide/BSCCO is an exampe) image

     

    As for the OLED display, there might be a small onboard heater that turns on when it's cold, but I'm not sure - as you say, we'll just have to tear it apart to find out image
