YX 960 TR Analog Meter – Durable and accurate analog meter for professional and industrial electrical measurements.
Description:
The YX-960TR is a handheld analog multimeter designed for measuring various electrical parameters, including AC/DC voltage, DC current, and resistance. Moreover, while the brand name is sometimes associated with Sanwa, many different versions of this analog meter exist under other names. In addition, professionals and electronics enthusiasts widely use the YX-960TR for troubleshooting, testing, and educational purposes. Therefore, it provides a reliable and versatile tool for a wide range of electrical measurement tasks.
Key features:
- Measurement functions: The YX-960TR can measure the following:
- DC voltage (DCV): up to 1000V
- AC voltage (ACV): up to 1000V
- DC current (DCA): up to 2.5A
- Resistance (Ω): up to 20MΩ
- Transistor hFE: 0–1000 for NPN or PNP transistors
- Diode check: Tests for diode function, including LEDs
- Continuity check: Features a buzzer and/or light
- Battery check: For 1.5V and 9V batteries
- Analog display: It features a large, clear analog display with an 80mm scale length for precise readings without the “noise” of a digital display.
- Protection: The meter includes fuse and diode protection to prevent damage from overloads.
- DC resolution: It has a fine DC resolution factor of 2mV.
- Construction: The multimeter typically features a durable ABS plastic case.
Operation overview:
Using the YX-960TR involves selecting the correct function and range with the rotary switch. For resistance measurements, you select the range, short the probes, and adjust the “Ω ADJ” knob to zero the needle. For voltage or current, ensure the black lead is in the common jack, set the function and range, and connect the leads to the circuit. To measure transistor hFE, set the switch to hFE, insert the transistor leads into the socket, and read the value.
