Description

GVDA GD166A Digital Clamp Meter 6000-Count True RMS AC Clamp Multimeter with NCV, Temperature & Smart Auto Mode

The GVDA GD166A is a True RMS AC-only clamp meter designed for reliable electrical diagnostics in household, automotive, and technical environments. Equipped with a 6000-count VA color display, SMART AUTO measurement mode, non-contact voltage detection, continuity/diode testing, temperature measurement, and a full range of voltage, resistance, capacitance, frequency, and duty-cycle functions — GD166A provides essential capabilities for electricians and advanced DIY users.

Key Features
  • True RMS measurement: accurate readings for AC signals, including non-linear loads.
  • 6000-count VA color LCD: bright, high-contrast screen with automatic unit display.
  • AC voltage & AC current measurement: full ranges up to 600V and 600A.
  • SMART AUTO mode: automatically identifies voltage, resistance, and continuity signals.
  • NCV non-contact voltage detection: fast identification of live AC fields.
  • Live wire detection: “--L” (low) and “--H” (high) indicators with buzzer + LED.
  • Frequency, duty cycle, resistance, capacitance, temperature: full multifunction capability.
  • MAX/MIN capture: records measurement extremes.
  • Backlight & flashlight: support work in dark environments.
  • Automatic calibration at startup: “CAL” displayed for improved accuracy.
  • Clamp opening: 36 mm.
  • Safety indicators: over-range “OL”, low battery symbol, polarity “–”.
