Standard Digital Multimeter

Product Code : SLE/PHY/258

Standard Digital Multimeter (Product Code: SLE/PHY/258) is a portable digital multimeter used to measure DC and AC voltage, DC current and resistance in school and college electricity practicals. Students find it easy to handle because it weighs 156 g, and it adds a backlight, data hold and a square wave output to its 1999 maximum display. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside its other physics lab instruments.

What Is the Standard Digital Multimeter Used For?

The Standard Digital Multimeter covers the everyday measurements of a school electricity syllabus: reading the voltage across and the current through a resistor for Ohm’s law, checking cells in series and parallel, and measuring the resistance of wires, resistors or a light dependent resistor in light and dark. It pairs naturally with an Ohm’s law experiment kit, giving each student group its own meter.

The square wave output provides a simple test signal for basic circuit checks, the backlight helps in a dim room, and data hold freezes a reading while students note it down. Start on the highest suitable range, keep the 10A range for larger currents only, and leave the AC voltage ranges to teacher-led work where higher voltages are involved.

What to Specify When Ordering

  • How many meters you need per bench or student group
  • Whether this model’s ranges suit your syllabus or the Advanced Digital Multimeter is needed
  • Spare 9V (6F22) batteries, if required
  • Confirmation of the accessories supplied with each meter

Frequently Asked Questions

What ranges does the Standard Digital Multimeter cover?
The Standard Digital Multimeter measures DC voltage from 200mV to 500V, AC voltage on 200V and 500V ranges, DC current from 2000µA to 10A and resistance from 200Ω to 20MΩ, with a maximum display of 1999.

Does the Standard Digital Multimeter have a backlight?
Yes, the Standard Digital Multimeter has a backlight for reading the display in poorly lit rooms, together with data hold to freeze a reading and a low battery warning that signals when its 9V (6F22) battery needs replacing.

What is the square wave output on the Standard Digital Multimeter for?
The square wave output on the Standard Digital Multimeter provides a simple test signal that can be fed into basic circuits during electronics practicals. For details of the signal, contact us before ordering so we can confirm it suits your intended experiment.

How accurate is the Standard Digital Multimeter?
The Standard Digital Multimeter is specified at ±(0.5%+2) on DC voltage, ±(1.2%+10) on AC voltage, ±(1%+2) on DC current and ±(0.8%+2) on resistance. Input resistance is at least 10MΩ on DC voltage and 5MΩ on AC voltage.

Is the Standard Digital Multimeter suitable for students?
The Standard Digital Multimeter suits student use: it weighs 156 g and measures 130 × 73.5 × 35 mm, so it is easy to hold. Measurements on higher AC voltages should always be carried out or supervised by a teacher.

Who supplies the Standard Digital Multimeter?
The Standard Digital Multimeter is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets can order it on its own or with other circuit and measurement items.
