Rugged TRMS multimeter for harsh environments
The Amprobe HD160C is a true RMS digital multimeter built for electrical testing in high-voltage and harsh conditions. Its moulded flame-retardant thermoplastic case is sealed to IP67, giving complete dust protection and waterproofing when submerged up to one metre. The meter measures AC and DC current to 2 amp, AC voltage to 1,000 V and DC voltage to 1,500 V.
Upgrade from basic meters when transients
This instrument withstands transients up to 12 kV and meets IEC 61010 Category IV up to 1,000 V, making the jump worthwhile for technicians who face dangerous voltage spikes or work outdoors in wet, dusty or chemically exposed areas. It also adds capacitance to 400 microfarads, frequency to 10 MHz and temperature via the included K-type thermocouple probe.
Practical limits of the CAT IV 1,000 V rating
The CAT IV 1,000 V rating applies to the measurement input terminals; it does not extend the meter’s own voltage ranges beyond 1,000 V AC or 1,500 V DC. The IP67 seal protects the case interior from water and dust ingress, yet the detachable test leads and alligator clips must also be rated for the same environment to maintain safety.

Questions about this item
What clearance does the 160 mm case need for the IP67 seal and test-lead connections?
The IP67-rated case is sealed against dust and water to 1 metre; allow enough space around the lead jacks so the seal stays uncompressed when leads are plugged in.
How do I attach the K-type thermocouple for temperature readings, and what step is often missed?
Plug the supplied thermocouple adaptor into the temperature input, then select the temperature function; the step often missed is waiting for the cold-junction compensation to stabilise before reading.
What periodic checks or replacements keep the meter meeting IEC 61010 CAT IV 1000 V?
Inspect the case seal and test leads for damage before each use, replace the 9 V battery when the low-battery indicator appears, and verify calibration at regular intervals.
