Process clamp meter
July 1st 2007 Fluke has introduced the Fluke
771 Milliamp Process Clamp Meter,
which measures 4-20mA output
signals from transmitters in
process and industrial control
system applications without
breaking the current loop. Offering
increased productivity for process
and plant maintenance technicians
and commercial electricians, the
Fluke 771 delivers 0.2% accuracy
with resolution and sensitivity to
0.01mA for testing and
troubleshooting PLC and control
system analogue I/Os.
The new Fluke 771 is designed
for use in environments where it is
impractical to shut down
processes, or put systems into safe
mode, in order to break the loop
and place a meter in series with
the circuit to take measurements. It
features a detachable clamp that
can be used docked, or detached
via its extension cable, to facilitate
measurement in tight spaces, as
well as a measurement spotlight
that illuminates wires in dark
enclosures, and automatic battery
saving features. More articles from Fluke UK Ltd: |
