| Description
The Sanwa CD5001 is a professional-grade digital multimeter designed for low-voltage electrical work that offers True RMS and Electric Field (EF) sensing. It is a compact, portable device with a full 9999-count display for high-resolution measurements. |
| Key Features
True RMS: Delivers accurate measurements for both standard sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal AC signals. This is critical for working with modern electronics and power supplies. EF (Electric Field) sensing: A non-contact feature that detects the presence of AC voltage by sensing the electromagnetic field, which is useful for enhanced safety and troubleshooting. Auto V function: Automatically distinguishes between AC and DC voltage, simplifying operation and speeding up measurements. Auto Hold: Automatically freezes a stable measurement on the display, which is helpful for taking and recording readings. High safety rating: Rated at CAT. IV 600V and CAT. III 1000V, making it safe for demanding electrical work. User-friendly design: Features a large, backlit display for visibility in dark environments, a compact and ergonomic body, and a tilt stand for hands-free use. Auto power-off: Helps conserve battery life by automatically shutting down after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity. This function is also cancelable. Portability: As a newer release (since 2025), it is more compact and portable than many standard Sanwa multimeters. Does not measure current: It's important to note that this specific model measures voltage, resistance, capacitance, and frequency, but does not include an ammeter function for measuring electrical current. |
