FAQ
Q1. What functions does the Bosch GFM 1000‑15 offer?
The GFM 1000‑15 is a versatile all-in-one tester that provides:
- AC current measurement up to 200 A using its open-jaw (fork) design no need to disconnect circuits.
- AC/DC voltage measurement up to 1,000 V, including low‑impedance (LoZ) mode to eliminate ghost voltages
- Resistance measurement up to 60 MΩ and continuity testing with visual and audible alerts
- Frequency measurement in the range of 10 Hz to 50
- Non‑Contact Voltage Detection (NCV) and a built-in torch/flashlight to enhance safety and usability.
Q2. How durable and safe is the GFM 1000‑15?
This tool is built for demanding jobsite environments:
- IP54-rated for resistance to dust and splashes
- Rugged enough to withstand drops from up to 2 meters co.uk
- Meets CAT IV 600 V and CAT III 1,000 V safety standards
- Incorporates True RMS measurement for accurate readings even on distorted signals
Q3. What are the display features and usability enhancements?
- Features an inverted LCD display (white on black) for enhanced contrast and readability in dim conditions
- Includes a hold function to freeze the current reading and audible feedback for confirmation
- Ergonomic grip reduces hand fatigue during extended use.
Q4. What precautions should users be aware of?
- Always use the correct rotary switch position and appropriate input ports when measuring different parameters
- Ensure test leads are in good condition—damaged leads can affect accuracy and safety
- When measuring current, position the cable within the fork, up to a maximum cable diameter of about 16 mm—cable must be positioned properly between the arrows.
- Battery compartment must be secured with screws before powering on—loose covers can pose safety hazards
- Remove batteries if the tool won't be used for extended periods to avoid corrosion or leakage.
