SC77 Offers True RMS and Backlight In an All-In-One Meter
BREA,
Calif., November 28, 2005 --
Fieldpiece Instruments, the leading manufacturer of professional-grade instruments
for HVAC field service, has introduced a new clamp meter, SC77, in response
to requests from HVAC technicians for an autoranging meter that measures true
RMS. In addition to reading true RMS, a new feature of the SC77 meter is the
backlit LCD for easy reading in either dark or light spaces.
The SC77 works with all Fieldpiece accessory heads. It comes with removable
tip probes for connection to the accessory heads, and it has the DCmV ranges
required by the heads. Optional accessory heads measure RH%, wet bulb, CO,
pressure, superheat, and most other parameters essential to professional HVAC/R
technicians.
The SC77 is made for safety. It includes alligator clips, NCV indicator, and
HiV indicator. The alligator clips allow the user to connect the leads to
the circuit without holding the test lead on the test point. A non-contact
voltage (NCV) function warns the user when the NCV tab is close to live AC
voltages. When it senses AC voltages down as low as 24VAC, it alerts the user
by lighting up a big, bright red LED, AND sounding a loud beeper. Even if
the user doesn’t touch the voltage, the NCV function senses the ACV
through the air. The high-voltage (contact) indicator lights up a RED LED
and beeps whenever the technician touches potentially dangerous voltage.
The SC77 comes with the Fieldpiece K-type thermocouple plug with the "wrap
tab", enabling convenient storage of the thermocouple. Fieldpiece developed
the 'wrap-tab' thermocouple to solve a small but real problem our customers
have with lead storage. Instead of letting the thermocouple wire get tangled
up with everything in the tool kit, the technician just wraps the wire around
the tab.
The test lead wires are insulated with silicone rubber, which withstands temperature
extremes much better than vinyl, maintaining their flexibility, even in the
coldest temperatures.
For convenience, a GREEN LED lights up when continuity is detected. All three
LED functions are supported by a loud beep from the internal beeper.
The trade price of $159 includes the meter, the test leads, the clips, and
a custom padded case.
Fieldpiece products are sold exclusively through authorized Fieldpiece distributors.
