The residual voltage remaining after power is cut off in large capacitive electrical equipment. Ordinary multimeters, with their high input impedance, cannot detect this residual voltage, leading to misjudgments, equipment malfunctions, or safety hazards. The UT171 series' Low Impedance (LoZ) function effectively solves this problem.
Features of the UT171B Programmable Industrial Multimeter
•True RMS measurement
True RMS measurement technology is one of the core features of the UT171B. Compared to traditional average response multimeters, true RMS multimeters can accurately measure non-sinusoidal waveforms that contain harmonics and distortion, which is especially important in modern industrial environments—the waveforms generated by devices such as motor drives, frequency converters, and switching power supplies are often not pure sine waves.
True RMS vs. Average Response
| Waveform Type | Average Response Multimeter | True RMS Multimeter |
| Pure Sine Wave | Accurate | Accurate |
| Square Waveform | The reading was about 11% too low | Accurate |
| PWM Modulation Wave | Severe distortion | Accurate |
| Harmonic Rich Waveform | Inaccurate readings | Accurate |
•Low Impedance (LoZ) Mode
The UT171B's AC LoZ (low impedance AC voltage measurement) function features an input impedance of approximately 3kΩ, a characteristic crucial for eliminating "ghost voltage".
•VFC low-pass filter function
Built-in VFC (Variable Frequency Control) low-pass filtering is a key technology for measuring inverter output. Inverters use pulse width modulation (PWM) technology, and their output waveform contains a large number of high-order harmonics, which will cause unstable readings when measured with a regular multimeter.
The VFC function provides stable and accurate voltage and frequency measurements by filtering out high-frequency noise components above the power frequency. It is particularly suitable for:
•Variable frequency motor drive system testing
•VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) output measurement
•Industrial automation control system debugging
•EBTN black background with white text display
The UT171B uses EBTN liquid crystal display technology, which has the following advantages compared to traditional STN liquid crystal displays:
| Features | EBTN | Traditional STN |
| Contrast | >15:1 | 5:1 |
| Perspective | >160° | Approx. 120° |
| Response Speed | Fast | Slow |
| High Light Readability | Excellent | Generally |
| Power Consumption | Lower | Higher |
The display screen measures 70.6mm × 35.3mm and features a 31-segment analog bar chart, providing a perfect blend of the visual experience of an analog pointer instrument and the precision of a digital instrument.

Key Usage Tips
✅Do not exceed the range: The measured signal must not exceed the specified limit value to prevent electric shock and damage to the instrument
✅Do not change ranges while the instrument is powered on: Changing the range switch during measurement is strictly prohibited to prevent damage to the instrument
✅Proper power disconnection: After each measurement operation, disconnect the test leads from the circuit being measured; after completing current measurement, turn off the power supply before disconnecting the test leads
✅High voltage warning: Exercise caution when measuring voltages higher than 30V DC or 30Vrms AC to prevent electric shock
✅Temperature and Humidity: Do not use in high temperature and high humidity environments, and especially do not store in humid environments
✅Internal Wiring: Do not arbitrarily change the internal wiring of the instrument to avoid damaging the instrument and endangering safety

Q: What should I do if the measured values fluctuate greatly?
A: Confirm if VFC mode is enabled (recommended when measuring inverter output). Switch to manual range and select an appropriate range. Enable the data hold function and read the stable value.
Q: NCV detection is insensitive?
A: Check the battery level; low battery levels will decrease NCV sensitivity. Also, ensure the detection location is close to an AC voltage source.
