Top of the line true RMS Stick Meter, the HS36 includes the ranges you use everyday for field service plus it includes a bright blue backlight and is true RMS. The HS36 comes equipped with a magnetic hanger, along with detachable silicone test leads and alligator clip probe tips for remote and easy one-handed testing, as well as the full set of built-in safety features.  This auto-ranging stick meter also includes a bar graph on the LCD for an analog feel. Technicians who prefer our expandable stick meters tell us this is the best digital multimeter for HVAC/R field Service.

The HS36 works with all Fieldpiece accessory heads enabling the user to test a wider variety of parameters from a single meter. All this plus the removable tip test leads and alligator probe extensions make safe one-handed testing a snap.  True RMS allows you to test true voltage and amperage on non-sinusoidal waveform lines such as those found on variable speed fan motors and more.

The HS meter series is unlike any other found in HVAC/R. We incorporate a number of safety features, both those you can and can’t see, into our meters.  In addition, the HS series accepts modular test instrument accessory heads. The HS36 is the top of the line stick meter. It includes the features and benefits that technicians tell us they need to do their job easier, better and faster.

The HS36 has a built in non contact voltage detector, with the red NCV tab on the tip of the meter close to an AC voltage, press and hold the NCV button. The NCV LED will light and the beeper will beep. The closer you get to AC voltage, the louder the beep. The NCV function is sensitive enough to detect 24VAC.

In any VAC/VDC range, when you touch a voltage greater than 30V, the beeper will beep and the red Hi-V LED will signal you. The continuity beeper and green LED tell you if the circuit you’re testing is open or closed.

Plug any K-type thermocouple directly into the meter to measure temperature. Temperature measurement will be accurate even in fast changing environments because of excellent temperature compensation. One thermocouple is included. No adapter is required.
