Keep those cords tidy!
Over the years many methods have been tried to contain messy
cords. Most have failed.
Now a new Australian product – Clipaway – claims to provide an
easy and convenient solution to the problem. Clipaway clips come in a variety of
sizes to suit all types of cord (even rope) up to 12mm dia-meter.
They're available from Woolworths/Big W, BBC/Hardwarehouse and
other leading retailers.
New Fluke multimeters: rugged & affordable
Philips has released two new rugged, reliable and affordable
digital multimeters from Fluke, designed for the Asia-Pacific electronics
market.
Apart from the usual voltage-current-resistance-diode ranges,
the Fluke Model 17 and 19 DMMs offer several of the most-wanted features for the
electronics technician such as Min/Max/Average Record that captures the lowest
and highest readings for recording power supply drift, line voltage changes or
circuit performance while parameters are being changed. The DMMs have a wide AC
voltage input bandwidth of 100kHz for accurate measurement of audio, video,
monitors, and switching power supplies.
They also feature autoranging, a frequency counter
(0.5Hz-200kHz) and duty cycle measurement. Both meters are supplied with Fluke
TL-19 test leads, a 9V battery and a User’s Manual.
The new DMMs are designed and manufactured to the latest safety
standards of IEC 61010-1, 1000V Overvolt-age Category I, 600V Overvoltage
Category II. The Fluke 17 and 19 have been submitted for independent testing and
certification to CSA and UL standards.
