Metrix MX5006 bench multimeter TRMS 6000D content_copy

The MX5006 is a bench multimeter from the brand Metrix, designed for precise and reliable measurements in industrial and workshop applications. It is a TRMS multimeter that captures true RMS values for AC, DC, and mixed voltages and currents. The device construction is compact and lightweight, with a swivel handle that allows flexible positioning and saves space for stacking. The power cord can be wound around the feet, simplifying storage and transport preparation.

Applications
This multimeter is suitable for a wide range of measurement tasks in electrical engineering, particularly in the maintenance and diagnosis of drive technology, frequency converters, and electronic controls. The integrated function for filtering PWM signals (300 Hz) enables stable measurements on speed controllers operating with pulse-width modulated signals. The high bandwidth of 100 kHz allows capturing fast signal transitions, which is relevant for analyzing switching processes and high-frequency applications.

Functions and Equipment in Detail
The device features a dual display with 6,000-digit resolution and an integrated bargraph with 61 segments, enabling an analog representation of measurement values. The display is transflective and illuminated, ensuring readability under various lighting conditions, even in direct sunlight. The main display height is 16 mm, providing clear visibility of measurement values. Basic functions include voltage measurement (AC, DC, AC+DC), current, resistance, continuity, diode test, capacitance, frequency, and temperature. Additionally, the device allows displaying relative values in percent.

Technology Explained Simply
The TRMS technology (True Root Mean Square) captures actual RMS values of AC and mixed voltages, regardless of the waveform shape. This is particularly important for non-sinusoidal signals, as found in modern electronic devices. The VLowZ function (low input impedance) prevents the generation of phantom voltages that can occur at high impedances due to capacitive coupling. This ensures more stable measurements in complex circuits. The AUTO range setting automatically optimizes the display, but can be manually overridden to increase accuracy. The basic accuracy is 0.09 %, which is sufficient for precise measurements in electrical engineering.

Compatibility and Accessories
The MX5006 can be connected to a PC using optional SX-DMM2 software to record measurement values. Compatible accessories available in the range include a USB-A / USB-B cable and 5 pieces of high-performance fuses rated 11 A (1000 V / 10x38 mm). These fuses can be used as needed to extend safety functions or for replacement purposes.

Mounting and Installation
The device is designed as a bench instrument and requires no mounting. It is placed directly on a flat surface. The swivel handle allows individual adjustment of the display angle. The power cord is permanently connected and can be wound around the feet for storage.

Operational Advantages
The combination of high resolution, TRMS measurement, PWM filter, and VLowZ function ensures reliable and stable measurement results, even in complex electrical systems. The MIN, MAX, and PEAK functions enable monitoring of measurement value limits, allowing detection of short-term voltage peaks or dips. The double insulation according to IEC 61010 and safety category 1000 V CAT III provide high protection for the operator when measuring on electrical installations.
