The high count resolves small changes other meters round off, True-RMS keeps AC readings accurate on the distorted waveforms around drives and switching loads, and a high-contrast EBTN display stays readable on a plant floor. It covers DC voltage to ±(0.025%+5), AC and DC current to 10 A, resistance, capacitance, frequency to 10 MHz, and temperature to 1000 ℃, with non-contact voltage detection and storage for 9999 readings. A 7.4 V rechargeable Li-ion pack and 1 m drop rating suit daily field use. It's backed by UNI-T's nearly 40 years of test-meter manufacturing. Key Features 60,000-count resolution with high-contrast EBTN display True-RMS AC voltage and current DC voltage accuracy ±(0.025%+5); AC bandwidth to 100 kHz AC/DC current to 10 A; resistance to 60 MΩ, capacitance to 60 mF Frequency to 10 MHz; temperature −40 ℃ to 1000 ℃ Non-contact voltage (NCV) detection Low-impedance (LoZ) ACV mode to reject ghost voltages 9999-reading storage CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V; 1 m drop; rechargeable Li-ion UT171B Details 60,000-Count True-RMS Measurement The 60,000-count display resolves fine detail across the range, and True-RMS sensing keeps AC voltage and current accurate on the non-sinusoidal waveforms common around variable-frequency drives and electronic loads — where average-responding meters read low. Industrial Accuracy & Bandwidth DC voltage accuracy of ±(0.025%+5) and 100 kHz AC bandwidth cover precise troubleshooting and signal work, with resistance to 60 MΩ, capacitance to 60 mF, frequency to 10 MHz, and thermocouple temperature to 1000 ℃. Safe Measurement Features Non-contact voltage detection flags live conductors before you probe, and a low-impedance ACV mode loads out induced ghost voltages so a de-energized circuit reads as dead. The CAT III 1000 V / CAT IV 600 V rating covers distribution-level work. Field Build An EBTN display holds contrast at wide angles and in bright light, a 7.4 V 2000 mAh rechargeable pack runs long shifts, and a 1 m drop rating handles the knocks of plant use. Compare the UT171 Series UT171B UT171C Display EBTN OLED Square-wave output — Yes Non-contact voltage (NCV) Yes — Applications Plant and process troubleshooting; motor-drive and control-panel work where True-RMS and LoZ matter; commissioning and preventive maintenance; and bench or field measurement that needs 60,000-count resolution. Frequently Asked Questions What does 60,000-count resolution give me? Finer reading detail than a typical 6,000-count meter — small changes that would otherwise be rounded off stay visible. Is the UT171B True-RMS? Yes — AC voltage and current are True-RMS, accurate on distorted waveforms around drives and electronic loads. How does the UT171B differ from the UT171C? The UT171B uses an EBTN display and includes NCV; the UT171C uses an OLED display and adds a square-wave output. Core measurement performance is the same.
