Built for sparkies and HVAC techs who cop real-site conditions, the Uni-T UT136C+ gives you accurate readings, fast sampling, and a big, easy-to-see display. It’s a bloody good everyday meter that handles drops, long days, and Aussie heat—no worries.
Key Features & Trade Benefits
- CAT II 1000V / CAT III 600V safety — work with confidence on appliances and distribution panels when used correctly.
- 2 m drop tested + 3 mm protective sleeve — keeps working after the inevitable knock off the ladder.
- Fast sampling (≈4×/sec) — stabilises quickly so you can log readings and move on.
- 4000-count LCD with backlight & overload alarm — clear numbers in dim plantrooms; alerts help prevent mistakes.
- Capacitance to 40 mF + quick test (≈1 mF in ~4 s)
- Frequency to 40 MHz — handy for drive outputs and signal checks.
- Temperature –40 °C to 1000 °C with included probe — spot-check discharge air or motor casings on the fly.
- Low power draw & auto power-off — over 500 hours battery life, so it’s ready when you are.
Why This Product Matters
Real job: you’re rooftop in Brisbane in 36 °C, compressor keeps tripping. With the UT136C+ you verify supply, check capacitor value in seconds, confirm the fan motor’s not shorting, and you’re back down before your water’s warm—she’ll be right. If you’re building out your test kit, browse our multimeters category for more options.
Pro Tip
For capacitance checks on start/run caps, discharge the cap safely first, then clip on and hold steady until the readout settles. Log readings on installs to cut “mystery” call-backs later.
