The multimeter is the all-rounder among electronic measuring instruments. It has a
variety of measuring functions and supports the electrician in his daily
Work. Multimeters are available in different designs.

What is a multimeter?

As already mentioned, a multimeter is used for various measurements. The most important
Measuring functions include voltage, current, resistance, continuity measurement,
Capacitance measurement and diode measurement.

The digital display (digital multimeter) shows you the required values.
clearly displayed. Measurement values ​​can be adjusted using the rotary switch.
The multimeter has sockets for connecting the power with test probes.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Which multimeter is suitable for photovoltaics and e-mobility?

    For photovoltaics, battery systems, and e-mobility, a digital multimeter is required that is designed for high DC voltages and the specific application. The PAN SolarMulti 2000V is designed for applications with voltages up to 2000 V and is therefore relevant for PV and e-mobility environments. When selecting a multimeter, in addition to the voltage range, the measurement category, true RMS function, test leads, and the specific application should also be considered.

  • Can a PANCONTROL multimeter also be used as a continuity tester?

    Yes. The PANCONTROL digital multimeter features an audible continuity test. The beep indicates whether the resistance is below the specified threshold and an electrical connection exists. This allows you to test wires, fuses, contacts, switches, and connections for breaks. Continuity measurements should only be performed on de-energized wires and components.

  • What does the display "4000 Counts" or "6000 Counts" mean on a multimeter?

    The count number describes the display resolution of a digital multimeter. A device with 4000 counts displays values up to 3999, a device with 6000 counts up to 5999. A higher resolution allows for a finer representation of measured values, especially with small differences in voltage, resistance, or capacitance. In the PANCONTROL range, the PAN Profimeter-2 and PAN 186, among others, offer a display up to 5999 counts.

  • What is the difference between compact digital multimeters and professional digital multimeters in the PANCONTROL range?

    Compact digital multimeters are designed for quick on-site testing, while professional digital multimeters are designed for more advanced measurement tasks in installation, maintenance, and industry. Models like the PAN Multi-Pen-2, PAN Micrometer, and PAN Pocketmeter-2 are handy, quick to set up, and some feature automatic function selection or NCV pre-testing. Models like the PAN 184, PAN 186, and PAN 188 offer larger displays, higher measurement categories, additional measurement functions such as temperature, capacitance, frequency, and duty cycle, as well as memory functions. The PAN 188 also features a Bluetooth PC interface.

  • What does True RMS mean on a digital multimeter and when is this function required?

    True RMS refers to true RMS measurement and is required when AC quantities are not sinusoidal. This applies to systems with frequency converters, switched-mode power supplies, dimmers, UPS systems, or electronically controlled drives. Without True RMS, significant measurement deviations can occur with distorted signals. The PANCONTROL offers True RMS functionality in, among others, the PAN Profimeter-2, PAN 184, PAN 186, PAN 188, PAN 185, PAN SolarMulti 2000V, as well as in compact models such as the PAN Multi-Pen-2, PAN Pocketmeter-2, and PAN Minimeter-2.

  • Which PANCONTROL multimeters are suitable for use in industrial plants and switchgear?

    For fixed installations, switchgear, and industrial environments, digital multimeters with CAT III or CAT IV rating should be used. The PANCONTROL professional digital multimeters PAN 184, PAN 186, PAN 188, and PAN 185 meet CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V standards and are therefore suitable for measurements up to the main distribution board. For photovoltaic and e-mobility applications with voltages up to 2000 V, the PAN SolarMulti 2000V is available.
