Basic Electrical Kit

If you are an electrician or a residential handyman, this Greenlee TK-30 basic electrical kit has all the measuring tools you need. It is a must for every contractor's tool box. The TK-30 basic electrical kit is perfect for doing simple electrical projects or remodeling your house. It includes most of the tools needed to change an electrical outlet or test the strength of a battery. The three core tools included in the kit are the DM-20 manual ranging multimeter, the GT-10 polarity cube, and the GT-11 non-contact voltage detector.

To many electrical workers, these three test instruments are a standard part of the tool bag. Greenlee has put them together in one kit. The DM-20 multimeter is used to test batteries and to measure the current of small electronic circuits. The GT-10 polarity tester is a handy device to troubleshoot a problem in a 120-volt AC grounded outlet. The last tool in this kit is the GT-11, which is used to measure voltage. It safely detects AC voltage without touching the bare conductor.

As with all Greenlee test instruments, the three testers included in the TK-30 basic electrical kit meet the latest safety standards. The TK-30 basic electrical kit is sure to make the electrical worker's experience faster, safer, and easier. Greenlee covers the TK-30 basic electrical kit with a limited lifetime warranty.

    View larger.
    Eight Functions in One Affordable Package
    The EX411 offers mulitple functions so you can carry one meter into the field instead of several. The manual-ranging EX411 measures AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, resistance, diode, and continuity, all with +/-0.5 percent basic accuracy. The unit has low current capability, measuring down to 0.1uA, and features input fuse protection and mis-connection warnings. A Type K thermometer is built in for surface or air temperature measurements.

    CAT III test leads are included. For added convenience, the unit comes with a multi-position tilt stand, a Velcro strap for hanging, and a protective holster with handy test lead holder.

    True RMS Prevents Distortion from Electronic Devices
    It can be very difficult to make accurate current and voltage readings in industrial and commercial applications when electronic devices are present. Fluorescent lights, motor drives, computer power supplies, and other electronic systems can distort the AC waveform, making it hard for averaging meters to get an accurate read. True RMS uses a more advanced formula to compensate for this kind of distortion.

    Large, Backlit LCD Screen For Easy Reading
    Readings on the EX411 are displayed on a large, backlit LCD screen with easy-to-read, 1-inch-high digits. The 2,000-count screen offers high resolution over wide ranges, and features a data hold function that "freezes" information on the screen for longer viewing. To preserve your batteries, the unit has auto power-off.

    Durable, Comfortable Body with Useful Accessories
    The Extech EX411 is ergonomically designed and weighs less than 1 pound, so it offers a comfortable grip for one-handed operation. It measures a slim 7-2/5 by 3-1/5 by 2 inches (H x W x D), and uses one 9-volt battery.

    Warranty Information
    The Extech EX411 Eight-Function Professional MultiMeter is backed by a manufacturer's one-year limited warranty on parts and labor.

    What's in the Box
    Multimeter, CAT III test leads, stand, hanging strap, holster with built-in test lead storage, Type K bead wire temperature probe, and battery.


    Includes: CAT III test leads; Multi-position tilt stand and hanging strap; Protective holster with test lead holder; Bead wire temperature probe; 9V battery
