Ring has reported a very positive response to the launched of its new Multi-Function Automotive Tester. The new tool, which has been produced to save technicians time and make troubleshooting vehicle electrics easier and quicker, has been very well received by garages. 

The Ring RMM500 Multi-Function Automotive Tester has been specifically designed to find electrical automotive faults and unlike standard multi-meters only has settings relevant for automotive use. Its current test mode allows the technician to take amp readings directly at the fuse box without removing the fuses. Ring says this will significantly cut down on the time taken to identify the source of a problem.

The RMM500 also features a voltage check, with a traffic light result indicator, giving an instant and easy-to-read assessment of the battery charge levels. The multi-function tester assesses circuit voltages, provides early indication of alternator or starter motor issues, quickly finds breaks in cables and faulty connections, can test operation of fuel injectors, check faulty sensors and more. Overall, this single piece of electrical test equipment allows technicians to locate the source of problems within vehicle electronics quickly and easily. The RMM500 Multi-Function Automotive Tester is suitable for 6V, 12V and 24V vehicles, and comes with protective case, for safe and tidy storage.

Paul Shaw, New Product Development Manager at Ring, says, “This is the only multi-meter targeted specifically at the automotive market, with innovative features such as the ability to measure current without removing the fuses or cables. The graphical display also makes the tester intuitive and easy to use for automotive technicians. Ring’s experience in workshop and garage equipment has allowed us to understand the needs of the mechanic, and develop kit that can help makes their working lives easier.”
