MX 26 – MX 24B – MX 23 – MX 22 – MX 21
2,000 to 5,000-count
digital multimeters
From the learning stage to professional life,
tools for all generations
Depending on the model:
TRMS (AC+DC) measurements for precise and accurate results
A bandwidth up to 100 kHz
An innovative design with a compact and sturdy casing
An excellent degree of readability for the results: a wide screen, a tendency display
(bar graph), backlighting, etc.
Numerous functions: MIN./MAX., AVG., MEM. and/or AUTO. MEM., etc.
A unique way of accessing the batteries and fuses with improved safety mechanisms
A optical serial link for reading and processing data on the computer with
a user-friendly and high-performance software package
An elastomer protective sheath along with numerous other accessories
In addition to their harmonious line, MX Concept
multimeters are particularly well balanced and fit
naturally into one's hand.
Moreover, protected in their elastomer sheath, they are
able to withstand even the most severe conditions of
usage. Besides, the primary method for putting the
instrument away consists in inserting it back into its
sheath, thereby perfectly protecting the screen and
keys.
Changing the battery and fuses, no
longer any need to rack your brains!
What can be more tedious than looking for a scr ewdriver
to change the batterie or fuses? The MX Concept casing
enables you to perform this operation quickly and easily
using any utensil: coin, pen, etc.
Simplicity at all levels
A rotary switch and real keys suffice to offer you all the
necessary functions (MIN., MAX., AVG., measurement
storage, etc.).
The indications marked on the keys are specially explicit
so that the user might intuitively master the instrument's
functionalities.
The result in the twinkling of an eye
All MX Concept multimeters have a large display; in this
way , the unit and the conditions of measur ement (batteries
too low, AC or AC+DC measurement, change of
automatic range, etc.) can be specified.
On the MX 26, 24B and 23, a bar graph of 34 segments
instantaneously indicates the tendency of the
measurement, and backlighting makes r eading the r esult
easier when the instrument is used in a poorly lit
environment.
Measurement storage
All the instruments in the MX Concept range have the
MEM function. A short press on this key blocks the
display, and a second short press brings the user back
to the normal display.
The MX 26, 24B and 23 are, moreover, equipped with an
AUTO MEM function, enabling the last value measured
other than zero and stable to be automatically maintained
for at least 1 s. after the measuring circuit has been
opened. This is particularly advantageous when the
measurement points are difficult to access, forcing the
user to fix his attention on the test probes.
MX 26 – MX 24B – MX 23 – MX 22 – MX 21:
2,000 to 5,000-count digital multimeters
Design and sturdiness
Put back in their sheath, MX Concept
multimeters will put up with any treatment,
even of the most severe type!
Particularly easy to access, the batterie and fuses
can be changed without any risk, since it is
impossible to open a MX casing without
having disconnected the leads
beforehand.
Increased safety
Everything is safe! To begin with, the instrument
automatically switches itself off after 30 minutes of it not
being used (disengageable in the case of the MX 26
and 24B), which guarantees a longer life for your batterie.
Then, an automatic detection mechanism indicates the
presence of a voltage greater than 24 V or a current
greater than 10 A (MX 26, 24B and 23).
Lastly, the batterie and fuses can only be accessed if the
measuring leads are disconnected.
Thanks to its infrared digital output, the MX 26 can be
connected directly to a computer without any risk. Data
acquisition is continuous The user can record the data,
represent it in the form of a graph and export it, at leisure,
to an Excel®type spreadsheet (SX-DMM2 software).
He can also calibrate the instrument without opening it
and edit a list mentioning all the corrections which have
been made to the instrument.
Direct display of currents
Although it has no current input, the MX 21 offers an
original function which allows the measurements to be
read in amps. To do this, simply use the MN 89 ammeter
clamp and put the rotary switch into the clamp position.
The instrument then automatically manages the transfor-
mation coefficient and directly displays the value of the
AC currents.
With a resolution of up to 0.1 µA, the MX 22 enables very
weak currents to be measur ed, whether they be alternative
or direct. This point is highly advantageous when it
comes to electronics applications.
µA measurements
In order to simplify their use, some models (MX 26,
MX 24B and MX 23) have dedicated functions.
Thus, when the rotary switch is positioned on ADP, these
multimeters offer a 500 mVDC or AC+DC range intended
for use with additional accessories: temperature probe,
tachometric probe, etc.
Moreover, their V low Z (low impedance) function avoids
the phantom voltages we sometimes come across in
electricity having to be measured.
Dedicated functions
The SX-DMM2
multilingual software
package can easily be
used with the MX 26
for data acquisition.
With the AE0190, you have a real
bag in which you will be able to
put away all the tools you
use on a daily basis.
