Test, Measure & Detect

Test and Measurement Tools

This department covers handheld meters, detectors and testers used to read electrical, environmental and physical values. It is organized into electrical and signal testers, weather, air and moisture meters, and precision measuring and detection tools.

Electrical and signal testers

The VoltSage digital voltage meter, WattSage wattmeter and OutletIQ socket tester are used on circuits and outlets. The WireSight network cable tracker and PhotonTrace Pro visual fault finder help trace cables and fiber. For electromagnetic field readings, the range includes the FieldSentinel EMF detector, FieldSentry EMF meter and WaveGuard Pro EMF reader.

Weather, air and moisture meters

The NovaBeam hygrometer, ClimeTrace humidity logger, HydroTrace Pro wood moisture meter, DampSentry moisture detector, AirSentinel portable CO2 meter, ZephyrAxis wind gauge meter, AltiPeak altimeter and DeciSense sound level meter measure conditions in rooms, workshops and outdoors. The HydroSage Pro salinity meter and HydroGauge digital water flow meter cover liquids.

Precision and detection tools

The PrecisionBeam laser distance measure, LevelCraft digital angle meter, LeakHawk Pro refrigerant leak detector, NovaSentry smart smoke detector, GleamCoast beach metal detector and ProbeStrike pinpointer are included.

What to compare

• Measurement type and range: the quantity, units and span listed for each device.
• Display and logging: digital readouts, data storage and ease of reading.
• Power source: battery type and whether a unit is portable.
• Probe or sensor design: pin, plate, laser or external probe formats.

These tools suit electricians, woodworkers, HVAC technicians, hobbyists and homeowners.
