UT17B MAX, UT117C, and UT219P – your top picks for daily professional tasks
In our industry, having reliable, accurate, and safe measuring equipment is an absolute must. Whether you are looking for a reliable, ultra-durable multimeter for PCB work, a multifunctional Bluetooth-enabled device for electrical installations, or a high-performance clamp meter with power analysis for industrial use, UNI-T’s range offers a solution tailored specifically to the task.
| All three models represent the top of their class, blending precision and durability with modern features for efficient electrical measurements. |
UT17B MAX: the understated powerhouse for daily tasks
The UT17B MAX is one of the few multimeters on the market that ships with two pairs of test leads - standard ones and a set with fine-tipped probes, both featuring gold-plated finishes. Those fine-tipped probes are a massive advantage when working on PCBs with today’s miniature components and high-density (fine-pitch) connectors.
Beyond its precision, this multimeter is built to last. It is electrically robust, protected by two large 1000V fuses, and features enhanced EMC resistance for reliable readings even in environments with heavy interference. To make life easier in the field, it comes with a practical magnetic hanger for hands-free use in distribution cabinets. The UT17B MAX also includes an "input alert" to warn you if the leads are plugged into the wrong terminals for the selected measurement. - for instance, if you’ve left them in the mA/A jacks while trying to measure voltage.
From R&D and service centres to workshops and home labs, the UT17B MAX is an ideal all-rounder for a wide variety of users. For the full technical picture of the series, the manufacturer’s UT15B/17B/18B MAX leaflet is a great resource.
UT117C: standing out from the crowd
At first glance, the UT117C is clearly different from your average multimeter. The selector dial is positioned on the edge of the device, allowing for effortless one-handed operation. This design is particularly convenient for electricians and installers who often need their other hand free.
The UT117C is packed with practical features, including a low-pass filter (LPF), LoZ (low impedance) AC voltage measurement, and non-contact voltage (NCV) detection. It boasts a high-resolution 60 000-count display and a built-in Bluetooth interface, which lets you log and transfer data to a mobile app to generate instant test reports. This meter is built tough, rated for a 2-metre drop, and also includes a magnetic hanger in the box.
While the UT117C digital multimeter is a perfect fit for electrical installations, its versatility makes it a solid choice for almost any professional. You can find the full specs in the manufacturer’s UT117C leaflet.
UT219P: the smart AC clamp meter
The UT219P is a digital clamp multimeter with a generous 75mm jaw opening. In addition to standard functions, it is capable of measuring 3-phase power, performing harmonic analysis, and calculating power factor (PF) and phase angles.
To make complex jobs more efficient, the display can show up to four values simultaneously. With maximum ratings of 1000 A and 1000 V, it handles the vast majority of measurements even in high-consumption industrial settings. Like the UT117C, this model is equipped with Bluetooth for data logging and post-measurement processing.
The UT219P clamp multimeter is an exceptionally versatile tool, particularly for industrial environments and specialist electrical contractors. For a closer look at the technical details, the manufacturer’s UT219P leaflet is well worth a read.
