Description of Precision 5492B Auto Ranging Multimeter Megahertz

Digital multimeter measures current, voltage, resistance, frequency, and period. True RMS (root mean square) meter provides accurate readings when measuring linear or nonlinear loads where the current or voltage has an undistorted or distorted waveform. 2- and 4-wire resistance measurements provide a range of accuracy. Audible continuity sensor confirms a circuit conducts electricity, and diode test detects proper functioning of a circuit’s diodes. Meets International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) safety standard 61010 and is certified for Category I installations up to 1,000V and Category II installations up to 300V.

Faulty frequency meter disappoints auto enthusiasts

This multimeter fails to deliver accurate frequency readings in automotive diagnostics leading to incorrect diagnoses. The build quality is subpar, with cheap plastic components that feel flimsy..

Pros
  • The meter has good features like auto-ranging and backlit display
Cons
  • The frequency reading is inaccurate and the build quality is poor.

Noise Problem in Multimeters and Analyzers

I bought a B&K 5492B Benchtop Meter for general troubleshooting and repair purposes from where I work. I've always wanted a good, fast benchtop meter with advanced impedance measurements. After reviewing the features of this gauge and the price, I found it to be a great fit for what I do. A week later I had to send it back - it has (in my opinion) increased inherent noise. That means: If you are measuring DC voltage, the meter ranges from 1 mV to an astounding -12 V DC with unloaded test leads.

Pros
  • Tools and Equipment
Cons
  • Outdated
