About This Instrument
The Vartech V 980 is Vartech's premium handheld True RMS digital multimeter, built for senior engineers, quality control teams and calibration professionals where ordinary accuracy is simply not enough. With 4½ digits and 20,000 counts — ten times the resolution of a standard 2000-count meter — and a DC voltage accuracy of ±0.1%, it delivers near-bench-top precision in a rugged, field-portable body. The addition of conductance measurement, full-function fuse protection and NCV gives it a complete professional specification that very few handheld meters can match.
Key Features
- 20,000 counts (4½ digits) — resolves readings to 5 significant figures; detects millivolt-level changes and component variations that standard 2000-count or 6000-count meters cannot see
- DC voltage accuracy of ±0.1% — laboratory-grade precision in a handheld body; suitable for calibration checks and reference measurements
- Conductance (nS) measurement — evaluate insulation quality, leakage paths and component degradation beyond what resistance alone can reveal; a function found on very few handheld meters
- True RMS up to 1000 V DC / 750 V AC and 20 A — covers the full range of power system measurements with correct readings on any waveform
- Full-function fuse protection (0.2 A & 20 A) — comprehensive overload protection across all current measurement ranges
- Frequency up to 2 MHz, capacitance up to 2 mF, temperature to 1000 °C — a genuinely comprehensive measurement range
- NCV detection and torch — safe live-conductor identification in field and panel environments
- Transistor (hFE), diode and A/V continuity test — complete component-level diagnostic capability
