Armada Technologies Pro32 Auto-Ranging Multimeter Pocket Tester

Product Details

The Armada Technologies Pro32™ is a pocket-sized, general-purpose digital multimeter specifically engineered for the rigors of field diagnostics. Perfect for irrigation, landscaping, and telecommunications professionals, the Pro32 simplifies the process of identifying wiring faults, checking solenoid resistance, and verifying controller output. Unlike basic manual meters, the Pro32 features auto-ranging technology, which automatically selects the correct measurement range for the best resolution. Its most distinctive feature is the integrated cordset winder, which allows the test leads to wrap securely around the body and snap into place—preventing tangled wires in your tool bag and protecting the leads from damage during transport.

Key Features:

• Auto-Ranging Simplicity: Automatically determines the appropriate range for voltage, resistance, and current, making it ideal for fast-paced field troubleshooting.
• Integrated Lead Management: Features a unique built-in winder that keeps red and black leads organized, protected, and snag-free when not in use.
• Pocket-Sized Portability: Slim, lightweight design fits easily into a shirt pocket or a small tool pouch for on-the-go testing.
• Irrigation Cheat Sheet: Includes a handy troubleshooting guide specifically for sprinkler systems to help you interpret readings quickly.
• Safety Rated: Full IEC 61010 and CE safety tested to Cat II 600V for peace of mind when testing 120V AC wall outlets or transformers.

Specifications:

• DC Voltage: 0 to 500V
• AC Voltage: 0 to 500V
• DC Current: 0 to 200mA
• Resistance: 0 to 2MΩ
• Audible Continuity: Sounds at <50Ω
• Diode Test: Yes
• Additional Functions: Capacitance and Frequency measurement
• Power Supply: 1x A23 Battery (included)

Installation & Troubleshooting Tips:

• Checking Solenoids: Set the meter to Ohms (Ω). A healthy 24V AC solenoid should typically read between 20 and 60 Ohms. A reading of 0 indicates a short, while "OL" indicates an open circuit (broken wire).
• Testing Controller Output: Set the meter to VAC. Place probes on the "Common" and "Station" terminals while the zone is active. You should see approximately 24V to 28V AC.
• Lead Care: When winding the leads, avoid pulling them too tightly around the corners to prevent internal wire fatigue over time.
• Battery Tip: The A23 battery is a 12V alkaline cell. If the screen becomes dim or the continuity buzzer sounds weak, replace the battery to maintain accuracy.

Common Uses/Applications:

• Sprinkler Troubleshooting: Quickly diagnose bad transformers, faulty wiring, or failed solenoids.
• Telecom Maintenance: Useful for testing continuity and voltage levels in communication cable installations.
• General Home Repair: Safely check for live 120V AC at outlets and light switches.

Common Questions:

Q: Is this meter waterproof?

A: No. While it is rugged and designed for outdoor use, it should be protected from direct submersion or heavy rain. It includes a protective pouch for storage.

Q: Can I use this for 2-wire system leakage?

A: For measuring ground leakage in milliamps on a 2-wire path, we recommend the Pro95i. The Pro32 is best for standard "multi-wire" troubleshooting and general electrical checks.

Q: Does it have a backlight?

A: No, the Pro32 is designed as a high-value, high-portability tool without a backlit screen to maximize battery life and maintain its compact profile.

The Armada Pro32™ is the professional's choice for an affordable, reliable, and exceptionally organized multimeter that stays ready for the next service call.
