It's sealed to IP65 and survives a 2 m drop, with a dual display, analog bar graph, and built-in flashlight for rooftop and outdoor use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue-RMS reads AC accurately on distorted waveforms, a low-pass filter helps on inverter outputs, and an optional clamp sensor extends AC current measurement to 3000 A. Non-contact voltage detection, resistance to 60 MΩ, and capacitance to 60 mF round out the field set. It's backed by UNI-T's nearly 40 years of test-meter manufacturing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRated 1700 V DC \/ 1500 V AC for PV strings and combiners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrue-RMS measurement with dual display and analog bar graph\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCAT III 1000 V \/ CAT IV 600 V safety rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP65 sealing and 2 m drop protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAC current to 3000 A with optional clamp sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow-pass filter (LPF) for inverter outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-contact voltage (NCV) detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResistance to 60 MΩ; capacitance to 60 mF; built-in flashlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUT196 Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt for PV Voltages\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhotovoltaic strings sit well above ordinary mains levels.
