Keysight Technologies, Inc. U1240B Series handheld digital multimeters enable you to
check more with wider measurement ranges. They feature true RMS readings on their
10,000-count displays. The adjustable backlighting allows you to complete your jobs
even in subdued lighting conditions, or to simply prolong battery life. Your maintenance
tasks are greatly simplified due to the built-in switch counter, harmonic ratio, dual and
differential temperature capabilities, with just a press of the button. The meters have a
high safety rating with CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V protection and are certified to
CE and CSA standards. On top of that, the U1240B Series comes with a certificate of
calibration and test report – at no extra cost.
The latest multimeters in this series, the U1241B and U1242B, now come in vivid orange
cases, offering the capabilities and functions you need.

1. Input impedance: 10 MΩ (nominal).
2. Current can be measured up to 440 mA continuously. An additional 0.2% needs to be added to the specified accuracy if the signal measured is in the range
of 440 mA to 1100 mA for 30 seconds maximum. After measuring a current of > 440 mA, leave the meter to cool down for twice the measuring time used
before applying a low current measurement.
3. Current can be measured up to 10 A continuously with a maximum operating temperature of 50 °C. An additional 0.3% needs to be added to the specified
accuracy if the signal measured is in the range of 10 A to 19.999 A for 15 seconds maximum. After measuring a current of > 10 A, leave the meter to cool
down for 60 seconds before applying a low current measurement.
4. The maximum open voltage is < 2.8 V. For instant continuity, the built-in buzzer sounds when resistance is < 10.0 Ω.
5. The accuracy of 1 kΩ and 10 kΩ is specified after Null function, which is used to substrate the test lead resistance and the thermal effect.
6. For the range of 100 MΩ, the R.H. is specified for < 60%. The temperature coefficient will be 0.15 times of specified accuracy as > 50 MΩ.
7. Overload protection: 1000 V RMS for circuits < 0.3 A short circuit current. The built-in buzzer sounds when reading is approximately below 50 mV and
audible single tone for normal forward biased diode or semiconductor junction as 0.3 V ≤ Reading ≤ 0.8 V.

1. Input impedance: 10 MΩ (nominal) in parallel with < 100 pF, with overload protection of 1000 V RMS
2. Crest factor ≤ 3. For non-sinusoidal waveforms with crest factor up to 3, add 2% reading + 2% full scale typical.
3. Current can be measured from 50 mA to 440 mA continuously. An additional 0.2% needs to be added to the specified accuracy if the signal
measured is in the range of 440 mA to 1100 mA for 30 seconds maximum. After measuring a current of > 440 mA, leave the meter to cool
down for twice the measuring time used before application of low current measurement.
4. Current can be measured from 0.5 A up to 10 A continuously with a maximum operating temperature of 50 °C. An additional 0.3% needs to

current of >10 A, leave the meter to cool down for 60 seconds before applying a low current measurement.
5. AC voltage and AC current specifications are AC coupled. True RMS measurement is valid from 5 % of range to 100 % of range.
