ENGLISH GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Klein Tools MM450 is an auto-ranging, true root mean square (TRMS) multimeter that measures AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, and resistance. It can also measure temperature, capacitance, frequency, duty-cycle, and test diodes and continuity. It features lead alert protection and a high visibility, reverse contrast LCD display with an optical sensor to automatically optimize viewability in dark or bright ambient lighting.
