Frequently Asked Questions
What advantages does the OLED display provide in industrial environments?
The OLED display technology offers several critical advantages for industrial applications: perfect contrast for reading in any lighting condition, wide viewing angles that maintain visibility from any position, instant response without ghosting for observing changing values, and exceptional performance in extreme temperatures where LCD displays become sluggish or unreadable. This advanced display technology ensures clear visibility in dusty environments, confined spaces with limited lighting, and outdoor operations in cold weather.
How does the square wave output function enhance troubleshooting capabilities?
The built-in square wave generator transforms the UT171C from a passive measurement device into an active testing tool. Technicians can produce precise frequency signals (0.5Hz to 4800Hz) with adjustable duty cycle (0-100%) to test sensor responses, validate control system inputs, troubleshoot timing circuits, and verify communication interfaces. This integrated capability eliminates the need for a separate function generator during field diagnostics, streamlining the troubleshooting process and reducing the equipment required for comprehensive system testing.
What makes the AC+DC measurement capability essential for industrial applications?
The AC+DC measurement mode captures the true combined value of both AC and DC components present in a signal, critical for accurately evaluating power supplies, variable frequency drives, and electronic circuits with superimposed signals. Standard meters that measure only AC or DC components separately cannot provide accurate readings in these mixed-signal environments, potentially leading to incorrect diagnostics. The UT171C's ability to measure true RMS values of combined signals ensures complete system assessment with a single measurement.
How does the data management system benefit maintenance documentation?
The UT171C's comprehensive data management system can store up to 9,999 measurements with timestamp information, providing detailed documentation of system performance over time. The automatic data logging function can be configured for specific intervals, enabling unattended monitoring to capture intermittent issues or establish performance baselines. This data can be transferred to computers via USB or to mobile devices using the optional Bluetooth adapter, creating professional reports that document maintenance activities, verify system compliance, and track performance trends.
What is the warranty period for the UNI-T UT171C?
UNI-T provides a 12-month warranty on the UT171C, covering manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use conditions.
