Introduction
Discover the advanced features of the PeakTech 1072 and 1073 smart digital multimeters. These devices offer enhanced user comfort by eliminating the traditional rotary selector switch. The multimeters automatically select measurement functions for ACV, DCV, resistance, or continuity, simplifying operation. Additional functions like diode test, temperature, frequency, and capacitance can be manually activated via function buttons. The PeakTech 1073 model further extends capabilities with AC/DC current measurements up to 10A, utilizing True RMS for accurate readings. Ideal for electronics, electrical engineering, and DIY projects, these multimeters combine precision and user-friendliness at an accessible price point.
