The VC 831 is the simplest device in the VC-800 reference series, yet it offers impressive features for craftsmen and technicians. It features a sharp, individually configurable TFT display with outstanding contrast. Depending on the lighting conditions, the display can be shown in both positive (dark digits on a light background) and negative (Night Mode) formats.

The groundbreaking magnet technology ensures that both hands remain free for the measurement probes. Extra strong neodymium magnets integrated into the housing provide a secure hold on the control cabinet door, eliminating the need to place the device on the floor while measuring. For measurement tasks on construction sites, one of the measurement probes can be magnetically attached to the multimeter. Special measurement probes made with integrated ferromagnetic material adhere securely to the multimeter but not to the control cabinet. One measurement probe, along with the multimeter, forms a unit in one hand, while the other measurement probe can be guided to the second measurement point with the other hand.

The fantastic flexible measuring leads consist of a silicone coating executed in two layers and colors, featuring a wear indicator that contributes to flexibility. The extremely fine stranded wire construction, which is twisted with highly flexible and tear-resistant plastic fibers for mechanical reinforcement, greatly enhances flexibility. VOLTCRAFT is now introducing this technology into mass production of multimeters for the first time.

Many functions are individually configurable. The automatic shut-off can be set to 5, 10, 15, or 30 minutes, or it can remain always on. The backlighting for buttons and rotary switches can be individually adjusted or turned off completely. The beep sound when changing measurement ranges can be turned on or off, or its volume can be reduced. The LoZ function allows for measuring AC voltages with low impedance.
