TRIPLETT
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TRIPLETT from 3G Electric.
What safety rating and enclosure protection does the Triplett MM870 multimeter carry?
The Triplett MM870 is a TRMS digital multimeter rated CAT IV 600 V and housed in an IP67 enclosure. It provides 6,000/60,000 instrument counts depending on mode and measures AC current up to 10 A. The CAT IV rating indicates suitability for measurements at the origin of a low-voltage installation, such as utility service entrances, while the IP67 enclosure protects against dust ingress and temporary immersion. These specifications make the MM870 relevant for field electrical testing and troubleshooting where both measurement category and environmental protection matter.
What thermocouple types and accuracy does the Triplett TMP60 support?
The Triplett TMP60 is a two-channel thermocouple meter designed for Type J and Type K thermocouples. It supports differential temperature testing and includes two Type K thermocouple bead probes, three AAA batteries, and a pouch case. Stated accuracy is ±0.15% + 1.8 °F/1 °C above -148 °F and ±0.05% + 3.6 °F/2 °C below -148 °F. The meter has a backlit display and data hold. Two channels allow simultaneous measurement of two points, which is useful for differential readings across heat exchangers, process lines, or HVAC equipment.
What wavelengths does the Triplett OTDR1315 test, and does it include copper testing?
The Triplett OTDR1315 is a multi-function optical time-domain reflectometer and network tool that supports single-mode fiber testing at 1310 nm and 1550 nm. It includes an RJ45 TDR cable tester for copper network diagnostics, so the same unit can be used for fiber fault location and copper cable fault finding. The instrument is powered by a 3.7 V Li-Po battery. For fiber acceptance testing, fault location, and troubleshooting in single-mode links, the dual-wavelength capability covers the two common single-mode windows used in telecom and campus networks.
What is the Triplett POE2000 used for in video surveillance installations?
The Triplett POE2000 is a Power over Ethernet tester used to verify PoE functionality in network and video surveillance installations. It helps confirm that PoE switches and injectors deliver the correct power to connected devices, such as IP cameras. The tester is supplied as the tester unit itself. In surveillance work, verifying PoE delivery before or after camera installation reduces troubleshooting time by separating power-delivery faults from camera or network configuration issues. It is a diagnostic tool rather than a power-sourcing device.
What are the specifications of the Triplett PS305 DC power supply?
The Triplett PS305 is a digital DC power supply with dual LED displays for simultaneous voltage and current readout. It specifies line regulation voltage of less than 0.01% + 3 mV and load regulation voltage of less than 0.01% + 5 mV. The unit measures 8.3 in H x 4.1 in W x 6.1 in D and includes an AC power cord and alligator test leads. It carries CE marking and is RoHS compliant. The dual displays allow voltage and current to be monitored at the same time, which is useful for benchtop testing, circuit development, and equipment repair.
What accuracy does the Triplett PH180 pocket pH tester provide?
The Triplett PH180 is a pocket pH tester with ±0.01 pH accuracy and automatic temperature compensation. It covers a pH range of 0 to 14 pH and includes four CR2032 batteries, a neck strap, a protective cap, and a sample cup with cap. Reagents are sold separately. The unit carries CE marking. Automatic temperature compensation adjusts readings for temperature variation in the sample, which is relevant for water-quality testing, hydroponics, and other applications where sample temperature may differ from calibration conditions. The protective cap and sample cup support field use.
