2,000 to 5,000-count AVG or TRMS Digital Multimeters

MX 21 - MX 22 - MX 23 - MX 24 - MX 24B - MX 26

All-round simplicity

A rotary switch and a set of extra-wide keys give you direct access

to all the necessary functions (MIN, MAX, AVG, measurement

storage, etc.).

The labels on the keys are particularly explicit so that users can

quickly learn to use the instrument's functions intuitively.

Elegant, rugged design

In addition to their elegant design, the MX Concept multimeters

are particularly well balanced and comfortable to handle.

Furthermore, in their elastomer sheath, they can resist even the

severest operating conditions. The instrument can also be stored

safely by reversing it in the sheath, thus ensuring that the screen

and keys are fully protected.

The MX Concept models all have a large display. This allows

indication of the measurement unit and conditions (batteries too

low, AC or AC+DC measurement, autoranging, etc.).

On the MX 26, MX 24, MX 23 and MX 22, a fast segmented bar-

graph instantly indicates the measurement trend and backlighting

makes the display easy to read even in dark conditions (MX 24 and

MX 26).

measurement storage

Storage of measurements

All the instruments in the MX Concept

range are equipped with the MEM storage

function.

By gently pressing this key, you can lock

the display, while a second press switches

it back to normal display mode. In addi-

tion, the MX 26, MX 24 and MX 23 are

equipped with the AUTO MEM function.

This enables you, after opening the

measurement circuit, to hold the last

non-zero value measured which remained

stable for at least 1 s.

This is particularly useful when the

measurement points are difficult to

access, forcing the user to concentrate on

the test probes.

Everything is safe! First of all, automatic shutdown of the instrument after 30 minutes without use optimizes the life span of your

battery (this can be deactivated on the MX 26 and MX 24). Secondly, an automatic detection function indicates the presence of a

voltage greater than 24 V or a current greater than 10 A (MX 26, MX 24 and MX 23).

Lastly, the battery and fuses are not accessible unless the measurement leads have been disconnected.

Even greater safety

Direct display of currents

Although it does not have a current input, the MX 21 offers an original function for reading measurements in Amperes. Simply use an

MN 89 current clamp (or one of our other 100 mV/A models) and set the rotary switch to the clamp position. The instrument will then

automatically manage the transformation coefficient and display the AC current values directly in Amperes.

Measurements in µA

With its maximum resolution of 0.1 µA, the MX 22 can be used to

measure very low AC or DC currents. This is particularly useful for

applications in electronics, for example.

Dedicated functions

For simpler use, some models (MX 26, MX 24 and MX 23) offer

dedicated functions.

In this way, when the rotary switch is set to ADP, these multimeters

propose a 500 mV DC or AC+DC calibre for the use of complemen-

tary accessories: temperature sensor, tachometric sensor, current

sensor, etc.

In addition, their V low Z function (low impedance) avoids measuring

the phantom voltages which may be encountered in electrical

systems due to the stray capacitance of the cables.

Battery and fuse changes made easy!

Communication and software

Thanks to its infrared digital output, the MX 26 can be connected

directly to a computer in total safety.

Stream acquisition is performed at rates of up to 2 measurements

per second. Users can record the data, display them in graphic

form and export them, at any time, into spreadsheet software such

as Excel (SX-DMMK2 software).

It can also be coupled with up to 4 multimeters to constitute a

genuine multi-channel measurement acquisition system.

The SX-DMMK2 multilingual communication

kit is easy to use with the MX 26 for data

acquisition

The connector of the MX 26's optical digital

interface plugs directly into the instrument

without any further action required.

What could be more tiresome than looking for a screwdriver when you

need to change the batteries or fuses? The MX Concept casing is

specially designed to make this operation quick and easy, using any tool

to hand: coin, pen, steel rule, etc.

•

Access to the battery and fuses is particularly easy and they

can be changed in total safety, as it is impossible to open an

MX Concept casing without first disconnecting the leads.

In addition, both the battery and the fuses benefit from genuine

dedicated housings separated from the electronic circuit board.

MX 21

The excellent price/performance ratio of the MX 21 makes this 2,000-

count digital multimeter the leader among measurement instruments

designed for day-to-day electrical applications.

Its 18 mm-high digits make the display exceptionally easy to read.

It is ideal for measuring AC currents with a 200 A clamp (included with

the MX0021-T and MX0021-W versions).

MX 22

The MX 22, a 4,000-count digital multimeter, offers a particularly wide

range (400 µA to 10 A full scale) for measuring currents directly.

In addition, its fast bargraph can be used to assess variations of the

measurement or of the minimum/maximum values.

The MX Concept range

MX 23

MX 26

The MX 26 is a 5,000/50,000-count TRMS digital multimeter which is

unique in its category because it offers a bandwidth of up to 100 kHz.

With its infrared digital output, the MX 26 can be connected directly

to a computer in total safety. Users can then set up a genuine data

acquisition system with graphs, charts, alarms, etc. (SX-DMMK2

option).

MX 24 / MX 24B

As soon as it was launched on the market, the MX 24B became the

reference among 5,000/50,000-count TRMS digital multimeters.

Equipped with an ADP input, it can be hooked up to a variety of

probes and accessories: light meter, current clamp, thermometer,

tachometer, etc.

It also includes functions for low-impedance measurement (VLowZ),

current measurement directly or with clamps, a capacitance meter, a

frequency meter and a MIN/MAX/AVG monitoring mode.

The MX 23 is a highly accurate 5,000/50,000-count TRMS digital

multimeter with reinforced safety features. It gives the true root-mean-

square value whatever the waveform of the signal, whether sinusoidal

or distorted, with or without a DC component. Range selection is

automatic by default and helps to prevent handling errors.

This multimeter includes an ADP input for current measurement with

clamps (see selection tables).

This fuseless model is particularly effective and economical.
