The Extech EX355 is a 12-function True RMS autoranging digital multimeter with a built-in non-contact voltage (NCV) detector and Type K temperature input, offering a comprehensive suite of measurement capabilities in a professional-grade handheld package. Its 6000-count backlit LCD delivers finer resolution than standard 4000-count meters, making it better suited for precision diagnostics on aircraft electrical systems, avionics circuits, and critical MRO applications. With 0.5% basic DCV accuracy, min/max recording, data hold, and a CAT III-600V safety rating, the EX355 is a step-up True RMS multimeter for technicians who regularly perform detailed electrical troubleshooting and component analysis.

Applications
The EX355 is a versatile True RMS digital multimeter for aviation maintenance professionals, MRO electricians, and avionics technicians who need finer measurement resolution and a broader function set than entry-level meters provide. The 6000-count display and True RMS capability make it well-suited for precision voltage measurements on aircraft power systems, avionics bench testing, and detailed diagnostics on aircraft components where accurate AC and resistance readings are essential. The Type K temperature input adds thermal diagnostic capability for aircraft motor and connector inspections, while the NCV detector supports rapid, contact-free hazard identification before electrical work begins.
