The 8025A is a rugged, water and chemical-resistant multimeter suitable for use in harsh industrial and military environments. It was designed for MIL-T-28800 Type II, Class 2, Style A instrument applications. The Model 8025A combines the performance and accuracy of a digital meter with the speed and dynamic measurement capability of an analog meter. The 3200-count, digital display offers better resolution than a conventional 3-1/2 digit, 2000-count display, and the 31-segment analog bar- graph display provides quick and easy dynamic measurement indications, in addition, a unique software Touch-Hold mode allows you to watch the probes and the circuit during critical measurements. TheTouch-Hold mode locks the measurement into the display for viewing and automatically updates the display when anew measurement is taken. Model 8025A features include: * 3200-Count Digital Display: Provides improved accuracy and resolution over a conventional 2000- count (3-1/2 digit) DMM. • 31-Segment Analog Bar Graph Display: Allows quicker, easier dynamic measurements: capacitor checking, peaking, nuiling, zero adjustments, etc. Analog bar graph updates 10 times faster than the digital display. » Fast Autoranging: Simplifies and speeds meter use. Automatically selects proper measurement range. Manual range can be selected. • Audible Continuity/Diode Test: Wiring, diode, and transistor tests can be performed quickly without viewing the display. φ Software Touch Hold: Using standard test ieads, the 8025A captures a measurement, beeps, locks the measurement in the display for viewing, then automaticaliy updates when a new measurement is taken. This feature allows the user to watch the probes and circuit when necessary, then look at the display after the measurement is complete. ® Rugged, Sealed Construction: The case is sealed to resist water, dirt, and contaminants. » Safety Features: Extensive overload protection, high energy fuses for all current ranges, non-metallic case and bail, recessed input jacks, safety-designed test leads, and no fuses to replace for voltage and resistance overloads. » Battery Life: Typically over 1000 hours • Low Power Resistance Measurement: Allows in-circuit resistance measurements without turning on diodes or transistors.
