Weidmüller Tools, measuring instruments and protection

weidmuller measuring instruments overview for panel and field teams

This category groups portable and rail-mounted measurement for commissioning, fault-finding, and periodic inspection. Weidmüller structures the range by instrument type (multimeters, clamp meters, insulation testers, continuity and voltage probes), by safety class (CAT III/CAT IV), and by usage (toolbox handhelds vs panel indicators). Typical buyers are OEM panel shops, maintenance crews, and system integrators who need reliable reads, safe operation, and accessories that fit TS35 rail builds.

Weidmüller product range and series map

Families split into compact handheld meters for everyday service, higher-spec instruments for energy and motor diagnostics, and panel devices for continuous monitoring. Size and interface options cover big-digit backlit LCDs, bar-graphs, and min/max logging. Most distributors stock everyday 6000-count handhelds first; higher-count logging models are common for drives teams. Packaging is practical: soft cases, silicone holsters, alligator clip sets, and QR quick-starts that speed toolbox standardization.

weidmuller tools and testing equipment families and accessories

Hand tools include combination crimp/strip sets, torque screwdrivers with certificate, and probe kits matched to narrow terminal spaces. Test accessories cover fused leads, magnetic tips for cramped cabinets, and crocodile clips that grab DIN-rail copper without slipping. Add-ons like phase sequence testers and non-contact voltage pens round out the field kit so one pouch handles 80% of daily calls.

Key features that matter at ordering

• Safety: CAT III 600–1000 V and CAT IV 600 V options; fused leads and finger guards reduce risk.
• Ranges: DC/AC volts and amps, resistance to 40 MΩ+, continuity with fast beeper, capacitance for drives filters, frequency/duty for sensors.
• Displays: 4000–60,000 counts, backlight, auto-hold; some with trend capture and peak mode.
• Power: standard 9 V or AA cells; auto-off with battery indicator to cut field failures.
• Accessories: magnetic hangers, true-RMS clamps, temperature probes, and carry cases that survive service vans.

Applications and Weidmüller compatibility

Used across control panels, packaging lines, HVAC skids, water plants, and warehouse conveyors. Pairs cleanly with Weidmüller A-/W-series terminals, PRO power supplies, and u-remote/IO modules for point checks. Cordsets and markers match the same tool ecosystem; probe tips fit into lever and push-in terminals without damage. See also Weidmüller Terminal Blocks, Cable Glands, and Marking Systems to complete the basket.

Integration with other brand products

Panel meters mount on DIN TS35 beside terminals; same ferrules and screwdriver families keep toolkits lean. Clamp meters clear typical cabinet door depths; slim probes reach into 5.2–6.2 mm terminal pitch rows. Use M20/M25 glands for test ports and RockStar connectors where removable sub-assemblies need repeatable access.

weidmuller electrical protection devices for safe testing

Protection sits both in the instrument and the test leads: high-rupture ceramic fuses, shrouded tips, and reinforced isolation. For cabinets with energy meters and drives, choose meters rated for transient immunity and leads with HRC fusing so faults don’t take out the tool. When building service kits, include spare lead fuses and a dedicated lead-tester to cut nuisance returns.

weidmuller multimeters selection and popular movers

Everyday maintenance leans toward true-RMS handhelds with 6000–20,000 counts, backlight, and low-Z mode for ghost voltage. Drives teams prefer units with mA process ranges, temperature K-type input, and min/max recording. Fast-moving SKUs typically include CAT III 1000 V, fused 10 A input, and silicone leads rated for cold rooms.

Selection criteria for B2B buyers

• Environment: pick IP-rated housings and wide-temp models for chillers or outdoor skids.
• Safety category: match CAT level to where you test (main feeders vs control circuits).
• Masurement set: add mA loop, frequency, and temperature if you service VFDs and PLC I/O.
• Display and logging: larger counts and min/max help during intermittent faults.
• Lead system: choose fused, shrouded tips; stock spare fuses to avoid downtime.
• Kit contents: case, clips, and magnetic hanger reduce drops and door-open time.
