History

1980s

modifier

The Voltcraft brand marketed its first product in 1982 [1] : the 6010 multimeter. It was a professional digital en:multimeter, integrating the multimeter market, which were then analog. In 1983, the 3000 multimeter was marketed, model with a en:printed circuit and an integrated rotary selector. In 1984, the first en:multimeter able to perform a measure of capacity was created. Voltcraft marketed its first oscilloscope with a bandwidth of 20 MHz in 1985, and two years later, in 1987, it marketed a digital en:oscilloscope, which could be used in en:analog mode and in digital mode. In 1989, Voltcraft marketed the DMM3650 multimeter, which was the first Voltcraft device equipped with a en:Bargraph indication. This one was much easier to use thanks to the scale values.

1990s

modifier

In 1992, Voltcraft marketed the VC96 [1] multimeter. This one was the first multimeter, which could be connected to a computer. In 1995, Voltcraft marketed the first battery charger and the first en:wattmeter, the EKM 265, able to perform measurements on all electrical appliances.

Then, the VC200 en:multimeter equipped with a Goldcap en:capacitor (electricity) and a solar cell [1] was marketed, as well as the first graphical multimeter, the VC707, and the “Eco Pentype” VC222 multimeter. The latter is recyclable thanks to its ceramic circuit board. The first battery charger specially designed for modeling, the Charge Terminal Plus, was marketed in 1996. The second generation of programmable linear power supplies saw the light of day in 1998 with the DIGI 35 CPU. In 1999, Voltcraft presented the first programmable switch-mode power supply developed by the brand : the Power Supply PS4005.

2000s

modifier

The first en:infrared thermometer Voltcraft, the IR360, was launched in 2003 [1]. The DSO-6000 digital en:oscilloscope family equipped with a en:LCD display was also launched the same year. The VC960, marketed in 2005, was the first Voltcraft multimeter with a data logger. The charger Charge Manager 2020 equipped with 10 charging slots was also marketed in 2005.

The charging station CT8000 able to reload most of the storage en:batteries and the VSP professional power supply range were marketed in 2006. As from 2007, the PS power supply range has been replaced by the VLP range. In the same year, Voltcraft also marketed the SL130 en:sonometer with built-in USB data logger. In 2009, Voltcraft presented a new product range with the BS-20 [1] en:endoscope. This one has a 2,4-inch colour display and a color camera with LED-lighting.

2010s

modifier

In 2010, the German brand launched its first charger for 9V lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries [1]. The new generation of charging station, CM420, was launched in 2011. This device is able to reload AA (LR06) and AAA (LR03) en:batteries as well as USB devices through the built-in USB output.

Voltcraft today

modifier

In 2012, Voltcraft celebrated its 30th anniversary and the manufacturer’s warranty has been extended from a period of 2 years to a period of 3 years [1]. Each new product is conceived, developed and designed in the R&D lab of the brand located in Germany. In September 2014, Voltcraft marketed with the SEM range (Smart Energy Meter) [3] its first connected devices. These devices communicate via en:Bluetooth 4.0. Voltcraft products such as the M-3850⁴ voltmeter or the VC150 [4], le multimètre Voltcraft VC150[5] Voltcraftmultimeter are often used to test the performance of products from other manufacturers or to make comparative tests.
