The Triplett 3145 Model 60 Ruggedized Analog Volt-Ohm Meter is a multi-range instrument for general electrical and electronic troubleshooting and measurement. It has been especially designed to satisfy the need for a precision instrument which can stand up under rigorous hard usage of the industrial and maintenance environment and at the same time provide a degree of safety in its use.

Extra Rugged

Unique design and selection of materials permits the Model 60 Volt-Ohm Meter to withstand the normal accidents of dropping and rough handling which occur in hard day to day use. The VOM can withstand an accidental drop up to a five foot height with deviation from its stated accuracy not exceeding ±4%.

Overload Protected

The Model 60 Volt-Ohm Meter bas been engineered for significant reduction in the need for maintenance by virtual elimination of parts burn out (other than fuses), and parts damage from severe mechanical abuse. Three fuses are employed for unusual protection to the instrument and safety for the user. The 1/8 Amp and 1 Amp instrument fuses are used for normal overload conditions. Spares for each are included in the instrument. Protection is provided for high energy fault currents beyond the capabilities of the instrument fuses up to the capacity of the 2 Amp/1000V (20 kW) fuse.

Safety Designed

High effort has gone into the instrument's design to provide the greatest possible safety for the user. The Model 60 Volt-Ohm Meter provides a specially engineered internal electrical system to prevent explosive arcs in high energy circuits up to the 2 AMP/1000V (20kW) fuse capacity. Complete insulation of the instrument itself plus a new type test lead are additional safety features.
