€182.00

The HPC78+ is a professional handheld process multimeter that combines high-accuracy electrical measurement with advanced DC voltage and active/passive DC current signal output. Designed for industrial maintenance, commissioning, and loop testing, it offers 0.1% measurement accuracy, a built-in 24 V loop power supply, and a high-resolution 6000-count display for clear and reliable readings. 

HPC78+ Process Multimeter – Advanced Handheld Process Signal Generator

The HPC78+ Process Multimeter is a professional-grade handheld instrument designed for industrial process calibration, loop testing, and advanced electrical maintenance. Building on the core strengths of the series, the HPC78+ adds extended measurement ranges, higher resolution, and enhanced signal simulation functions, making it an ideal tool for engineers and technicians in automation, instrumentation, and control systems .

High-Resolution, High-Accuracy Measurement

The HPC78+ features a 6000-count display with basic measurement accuracy up to 0.1%, delivering stable, precise, and easy-to-read results in demanding industrial environments. It supports a wide range of measurements including:

  • AC/DC voltage (up to 1000 V DC)

  • AC/DC current

  • Resistance

  • Capacitance

  • Frequency

  • Continuity and diode testing

In addition, VFC (Variable Frequency Control) voltage measurement allows reliable readings in variable-speed drive and inverter environments where standard multimeters struggle.

Rugged, Portable, and Field-Ready

Designed for industrial use, the HPC78+ features an IP65-rated enclosure (dust- and water-resistant), making it suitable for harsh field conditions. It is powered by three standard AA batteries, offering long operating time with easy replacement. Safety compliance up to CAT IV 600 V provides confidence when working on high-energy electrical systems.

Powerful Process Signal Output Capabilities

Beyond measurement, the HPC78+ functions as a true process signal generator. It provides accurate output of:

  • DC voltage

  • Active and passive DC current

With output accuracy up to 0.2% and a high-resolution output display, the HPC78+ is well suited for loop calibration, I/O testing, and transmitter verification. The built-in 24 V loop power supply enables simultaneous loop powering and current measurement, simplifying field calibration work.

Realistic Process Simulation Functions

To accurately simulate real-world operating conditions, the HPC78+ supports:

  • Manual step output (25% / 100%)

  • Auto step output

  • Auto ramp output

 

These features allow technicians to quickly verify control system response during commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance without external signal sources.

Clear Display and Operator-Friendly Design

The dual-display layout provides clear feedback during current output, showing both mA values and percentage output simultaneously. A bright backlight and integrated flashlight ensure excellent visibility in poorly lit cabinets and field environments. The Data Hold function allows readings to be frozen for easy recording, while auto power-off helps extend battery life.
