Frequently Asked Questions

How does the trend capture function help with troubleshooting?

The trend capture function provides visual representation of measurement changes over time, immediately revealing patterns and anomalies that would be difficult to detect with standard numerical readings. This graphical visualization helps identify intermittent issues, cyclic variations, and subtle relationships between system parameters. Technicians can see gradual drift, sudden spikes, or oscillations that indicate specific fault conditions, dramatically reducing diagnostic time.

What advantages does the high-count resolution provide?

The 60,000 count resolution provides substantially more measurement detail than standard 6,000 count meters, revealing small variations that would otherwise be undetectable. This precision is critical when evaluating sensitive electronic circuits, verifying compliance with tight specifications, or measuring small signal changes that indicate developing issues before they cause system failure. The higher resolution essentially provides an additional digit of measurement precision.

How does the dual temperature measurement capability benefit maintenance technicians?

The dual temperature measurement allows simultaneous monitoring of two points with automatic differential calculation. This is invaluable for applications like evaluating heat exchangers, monitoring motor bearing temperatures relative to ambient conditions, or verifying thermal gradients across components. The differential calculation eliminates manual subtraction errors and provides immediate feedback on temperature relationships critical for system performance evaluation.

Can the UT181A handle measurements in variable frequency drive systems?

Yes, the UT181A is specifically designed for accurate measurements in modern electronic systems, including variable frequency drives. The True RMS measurement capability ensures accuracy regardless of waveform distortion, while the low-pass filter function eliminates high-frequency carrier signals that would otherwise cause measurement errors. The 100kHz bandwidth accommodates the wide frequency range present in modern motor control systems.

What is the warranty period for the UNI-T UT181A?

UNI-T provides a 12-month warranty on the UT181A, covering manufacturing defects and component failures under normal use conditions.
