About this item
High-Density Wire Harness & Distribution Panel Diagnostics
UNI-T UT256 60A AC/DC True RMS Fork Meter
Opening traditional scissor-action clamp jaws inside crowded breaker panels or automotive harness conduits is physically impossible without prying adjacent hot wires. The UNI-T UT256 fork meter features an open-jaw sensor profile that slides directly over individual conductors up to 10mm in diameter. Supporting True RMS AC and DC current testing up to 60A, it speeds up commercial maintenance. Explore our complete selections in the Digital Clamp Meter catalog.
Fork Jaw Sensor Architecture
The slim 10mm open channel uses internal differential magnetic flux concentrators. Technicians simply slide the wire into the slot to obtain instantaneous amperage readings without actuating spring triggers.
Comprehensive Multimeter Features
Beyond current testing, test leads connect to measure AC/DC voltage (up to 1000V DC / 750V AC), resistance up to 60MΩ, capacitance to 60mF, and rapid continuity with loud buzzer response.
Certified Electrical Safety
Complies with CAT III 600V safety isolation standards. Package includes test leads, protective carry pouch, lanyard, 2× AAA batteries, and English instruction manual.

Product guides and documents
UT256 User Manual (PDF)FAQs
Q1: Why use an open-jaw fork meter instead of a regular clamp?
A: Standard clamp meters feature a closed loop. Consequently, you must squeeze a trigger to open them. Unfortunately, doing this inside a crowded breaker box is nearly impossible. However, this open-jaw design slides directly over wires instantly. Thus, it saves significant time in tight workspaces.
Q2: Can I use this to test my car alternator or battery?
A: Yes, you absolutely can. Unlike cheap meters that only measure AC, this device measures DC current flawlessly. Specifically, it handles up to 60A of direct current safely. Therefore, it is the perfect diagnostic tool for checking automotive batteries and parasitic drains.
Q3: What does the ZERO function actually do?
A: Measuring DC current is highly sensitive to the earth’s magnetic field. Therefore, the screen often displays a small false reading before testing. Fortunately, the ZERO button solves this perfectly. Specifically, it recalibrates the sensor back to zero instantly. Ultimately, this ensures incredibly accurate DC measurements.
Q4: Will it alert me if a wire has live voltage?
A: Yes, it certainly will. The tip of the fork features an advanced NCV sensor. First, simply bring the meter close to any suspect electrical outlet. Next, if live AC voltage is present, it flashes and beeps loudly. Consequently, it protects you from lethal shocks securely.
