The new PeakTech 1040 is a compact TrueRMS multimeter housed in a sturdy casing, designed for use in electrical work. Despite its small size, this new development offers all the essential measurement functions. Notably, it features the ability to check batteries with the built-in battery tester. The manual range selection allows for a very quick response time, and measurements can be easily read on the display. User safety is ensured by the overvoltage category CAT III up to 600 V and the double-insulated casing, while batteries and ceramic fuses can be quickly accessed for replacement through the battery compartment located on the back of the device.
