Do more with just one instrument

The basic model, U1251B, expands your capabilities beyond typical DMM measure-ments to include data
logging. The U1252B starts with the same foundation, and then adds a 20-MHz frequency counter and
programmable square-wave generator—so you’d be able to perform more tests conveniently with one
tool. What’s more: both models come bundled with a complete set of accessories to equip you right from
the start at no extra cost.

Offering the same functionality as the U1252B, the U1253B is the world’s first OLED handheld DMM. You
won’t have to squint to be sure you’re reading it right: On the go or on the bench, you’ll get crystal-clear
viewing indoors, even in dark, off-angle situations.

Find problems quickly

Troubleshooting can be tricky, especially when you’re dealing with elusive problems. With the U1250
Series’data logging capability, you can ensure that every reading gets recorded manually or at intervals
you specify. Better yet: you can have virtually unlimited data logging saves when you connect any of the
U1250 Series DMM to a PC with the optional IR-to-USB cable.

In addition, the U1250 Series lets you achieve greater confidence in your measurements with accurate
true-RMS AC measurements, low DCV error rate of up to 0.025% and high-resolution display of 50,000
counts.

Uncompromising ruggedness and safety

The U1250 Series DMMs are housed in robust overmold enclosures, rated at CAT III 1000 V

and CAT IV 600 V and operate over a wide temperature range of –20 °C to +55 °C. Each DMM also
include a 30 kA high energy fuse to further protect you against violent fuse failures during high-current
measurements. Built tough and certified to stringent industrial standards, the U1250 DMM is what you
need to face the demands of everyday tasks.

1. Input impedance: Refer to Table A on page 10.

2. The accuracy could be improved to 0.05%+10 for U1251B or 0.05%+5 for U1252B and U1253B by using the Null function to
zero out the thermal effect before measuring the signal.
3. These specifications are defined for 2-wire ohms using Math Null. Without Math Null, add 0.2 ohm additional error.
4. The accuracy of 500 Ω and 5 kΩ is specified after NULL function, which is used to subtract the test lead resistance and the
thermal effect.
5. For the range of 50 MΩ and 500 MΩ, the R.H. is specified for < 60%.
6. The accuracy is specified for < 50 nS and after NULL function with open test lead.
7. Always use the NULL function to zero out thermal effect with open test lead before measuring the signal. If the NULL function is
not used, an additional 20 counts needs to be added to the DC current accuracy. Thermal effect could occur due to the
following:
– Wrong operation to measure the high voltage of 50 V ~ 1000 V for resistance, diode, and mV measurements.
– After battery-charging has completed.
– After measuring a current greater than 440 mA, it is suggested that the meter be left to cool down for twice the measuring
time used.
8. Specification applies with settling time of (1.2*Current^2) seconds. For example, DCI: 3 A will require 11 s of settling time.

9. Current can be measured up to 10 A continuously. An additional 0.5% needs to be added to the specified accuracy if the signal
measured is in the range of 10 A~20 A for 30 seconds maximum. After measuring a current of > 10 A, leave the meter to cool
down for twice the measuring time used before application of low current measurement.

meter to cool down for twice the measuring time used before application of low current measurement.
6. The accuracy does not include the tolerance of the thermocouple probe. The thermal sensor plugged into the meter should be
placed in the operating environment for at least an hour.
7. Use the Null function to reduce the thermal effect. Before using the Null function, set the meter to no ambient compensation
(0C) mode and keep the thermocouple probe as close to the meter as possible, avoiding contact with any surface that has a
different temperature from the ambient temperature.
8. When measuring temperature with respect to any temperature calibrator, try to set both the calibrator and the meter with an
external reference (without internal ambient compensation). If both the calibrator and the meter are set with internal reference
(with internal ambient compensation), deviation may show between the readings of the calibrator and the meter, due to
differences in ambient compensation between the calibrator and the meter.
