What to Compare Before Buying
- Measurement functions: This model covers voltage, current, resistance, continuity, diode, capacitance, frequency and temperature. Compare that list with the tests you need most often.
- Auto-ranging: The meter selects ranges automatically. Check whether that matches the way you prefer to take readings.
- Display and hold features: Data hold, MAX/MIN and bar graph indication are included. Consider whether those reading aids matter for your work.
- Safety category: IEC61010-1, CAT III 300V and CAT II 600V are stated. Match the meter to the environment and circuit level you plan to measure.
Who This Product May Suit
This multimeter may suit buyers who need a general-purpose test meter with temperature measurement and a broad set of electrical functions in one unit. The rotary selector, auto-ranging and data hold features are useful if you want straightforward measurement changes and easy on-screen reading capture.
Technical Terms Explained
Auto-ranging means the meter selects the measurement range for the reading being taken.
Data hold keeps a reading on screen so it can be checked after the test point has been removed.
MAX/MIN records the highest and lowest values seen during a test.
Bar graph indication gives a visual representation of the reading alongside the digits.
Before You Decide
Check that the KT116’s test functions cover the measurements you need. Confirm the IEC61010-1, CAT III 300V and CAT II 600V ratings suit your application. If temperature measurement matters, this model includes it alongside the main electrical test functions.
