Keysight U1230 Series Handheld Digital Multimeters (DMMs) Data Sheet Introduction Retool your expectations with the new Keysight Technologies, Inc. U1230 Series Handheld DMMs -- the first to combine a built-in LED flashlight, both audible and visual alerts, and non-contact AC voltage detection in one handheld. Whether it is dark, noisy or even dangerous, the U1230 Series handheld digital multimeters keep you equipped with features that anticipate worst-case scenarios. The ergonomic shaped handheld allows you to single-handedly illuminate the test area with a built-in flashlight while selecting measurement functions using the rotary dial. Vsense performs non-contact voltage detection while continuity detection is made easy with the audible beeper alert and flashing backlight display. With the U1230 Series, you work better in the conditions you are in. 03 | Keysight | U1230 Series Handheld Digital Multimeters (DMMs) - Data Sheet Features -- Built-in LED flashlight to illuminate test area -- Flashing backlight as additional visual alert during continuity tests in noisy environments -- Vsense to perform non-contact voltage detection -- Data logging capability (stores up to 10 readings) -- IR-to-USB connectivity to transfer data to PC for record Ergonomically shaped with a built-in flashlight Built for handheld users working in a poorly lit environment, the U1230 Series allows you to single-handedly illuminate your test area while making measurements with its easily activated built-in flashlight. Its ergonomic shape fits your hand, while the easily accessible rotary dial allows selection of measurement functions. Flashing backlight and beeping alert for continuity detection The U1230 Series is built for continuity detection in dark and noisy environments. Its audible beep and flashing backlight display provides increased visual and audio alert to indicate continuity. Non-contact voltage detection with Vsense The Vsense, a unique feature found in the U1233A model performs non-contact voltage detection. It delivers more safety while making measurements in dangerous working environments by avoiding any contact with hot or live wires. Upon detection of voltage, it produces a unique combination of beeping alert and blinking LED light to make measurements more efficiently - especially in a dark or noisy environment. 04 | Keysight | U1230 Series Handheld Digital Multimeters (DMMs) - Data Sheet Take a Closer Look Flashing light and audible beep during presence of voltage1 Bar graph indication and frequency measurement path Allows flexibility to change measurement range Freezes and stores current measurement value Vsense performs non-contact voltage detection1 Low input impedance to eliminate ghost voltage measurement Ease viewing with display backlight or built-in flashlight Anti-slip rotary dial for easy measurement function selection Figure 1.

Range Resolution U1233A -40 C to 1372 C 0.1 C 1% + 1 C -40 F to 2502 F 0.1 F 1% + 1.8 F The specification above is specified after 60 minutes of warm up time. If the unit is exposed during storage in high humidity (condensing) environment, 120 minutes of operating time is required instead. The accuracy does not include the tolerance of the thermocouple probe. Do not allow the temperature sensor to contact a surface that is energized above 30 Vrms or 60 V DC. Such voltages poses a shock hazard. Ensure that the ambient temperature is stable within 1 C and that the Null function is used to reduce the test lead's thermal effect and temperature offset. Before using Null function, set the multimeter to measure temperature without ambient compensation (C) and keep the thermocouple probe as close as possible to the multimeter (avoid contact with any surface that has a different temperature from the ambient temperature). When measuring temperature with respect to any temperature calibrator, try to set both the calibrator and multimeter with an external reference (without internal ambient compensation). If both the calibrator and multimeter are set with internal reference (with internal ambient compensation), some deviations may show between the readings of the calibrator and multimeter, This difference is caused from the calibrator and multimeters's ambient compensation. The deviation can be reduced by keeping the multimeter close to the output terminal of calibrator. The temperature calculation is specified according to the safety standards of EN/IEC-60548-1and NIST175. The approximate ambient temperature (cold-junction compensation) is shown on the display when you have an open thermocouple.The open thermocouple message may be due to broken (open) probe or because no probe is installed into the input jacks of the multimeter. For temperature measurement on U1233A, the type-K thermocouple probe and adapter such as the U1186A (purchase separately) is required. For auxillary temperature measurement on U1231A & U1232A, a temperature module such as the U1586B (purchase separately) is required.
