UNI-T UT890 Digital Multimeter is a versatile professional testing instrument designed for electricians, technicians, engineers, electronics specialists, students, and maintenance professionals. Part of the UNI-T UT890 series, the meter combines a large 6000-count LCD display, True RMS measurement, extensive testing functions, and multiple safety features in a rugged handheld design. UNI-T’s official UT890 series includes the UT890C and UT890D+ models.
The UNI-T UT890 Digital Multimeter provides comprehensive measurement capabilities for electrical and electronic troubleshooting. It can measure DC voltage up to 1000V, AC voltage up to 750V, and AC/DC current up to 20A, making it suitable for a wide range of electrical testing applications. It also measures resistance up to 60MΩ, capacitance up to 100mF, and frequency up to approximately 9.999MHz.
With True RMS technology, the meter is designed to provide accurate AC measurements across a broad range of electrical applications. This makes the UNI-T UT890 Digital Multimeter useful when working with modern electrical and electronic equipment where waveform characteristics can affect conventional AC measurements.
The meter also includes NCV (Non-Contact Voltage) detection, allowing users to check for the presence of AC voltage without making direct electrical contact with a conductor. NCV and continuity functions provide audible and visual indications, helping make routine electrical testing faster and more convenient.
The UT890D+ adds a useful LIVE function for distinguishing live and neutral wires. This makes the D+ version particularly useful for electrical installation and troubleshooting work where identifying live conductors is important.
For electronics work, the UNI-T UT890 Digital Multimeter includes diode testing, continuity testing, hFE transistor testing, capacitance measurement, frequency measurement, and resistance testing. These functions make it suitable for diagnosing electronic components as well as general electrical systems.
