True RMS Mini Clamp Meter with Temperature and Backlight - “Big” Meter Function in a Compact Design - SC46
The SC46 True RMS Mini Clamp Meter with Temperature and Backlight packs the biggest punch in the SC40 series. With features that rival many full-sized clamp-on meters, this auto ranging DMM packs a ton of functions into a compact, easy to handle shape. It includes temperature and capacitance as well as a bright green backlight and True RMS for more accurate readings on non-sinusoidal AC waveforms. It also packs in most of the other HVAC/R ranges you use everyday. Some technicians use the SC46 as their everyday DMM, others as back-up or second meter to get more testing done in less time. This mini-clamp was deigned to make your job easier, safer, and faster no matter where you choose to rank it in your bag.
The Fieldpiece SC46 has features and benefits that rival many full-size clamp-on multimeters plus easy to use built-in safety features they don’t include. The built-in non-contact voltage sensor (NCV) sensor tells the user if a line is hot or not before you work on it. The continuity beeper tells you if a circuit is open or closed. The hold button on the side of the Fieldpiece SC 46 allows you to concentrate on the test point, hold the reading and then look at the display after you’ve disconnected.
Features and Benefits
Like all of our test instruments, the main benefit of the Fieldpiece SC-45 is that it was designed specifically for HVAC/R field service. The Fieldpiece SC45 Mini Clamp Meter with Temperature for HVAC/R is rugged, has with built-in safety features and includes most of the ranges the user needs for everyday testing. Some of the highlights include:
Temperature
Take ambient air or refrigeration line temperatures and more with the built-in K-type port and the included ATB1 wrap tab thermocouple. Add a wet sock, saturated tissue, or a shoelace to take wet bulb temperatures. The built-in temperature junction offers great temperature compensation for more accurate and faster measurements.
400AAC
Using the attached amp clamp of the Fieldpiece SC45, read 0-400 amps directly on your meter with 0.1 resolution.
Wire Grabbing Jaw
The amp clamp is shaped like a jaw to make grabbing a single wire easy using only one hand.
Non-contact Voltage
With the NCV tab on the tip of the clamp close to an AC voltage, press and hold the NCV button pn the Fieldpiece SC45. The NCV LED will light with an analog feel and the beeper will beep. The closer the user gets to AC voltage, the louder the beep will be on the Fieldpiece SC 45. The NCV function is sensitive enough to detect 24VAC on thermostats (24V to 600V, 50Hz to 60Hz).
Hold
The HOLD button is easily pressed with the thumb while holding the mini clamp meter naturally in the user's hand. The Fieldpiece SC-45 holds any reading so the user can concentrate on the test points and look at the LCD after being disconnected.
The Fieldpiece SC 46 True RMS Mini Clamp Meter's dial is very easy to read and operate with one with one hand. Simply select the range you’re testing and get the job done. Be sure to refer to the Operator’s Manual for safety information and warnings and use safe testing practices when hooking up your multimeter to any A/C or heating system.
How Does it Work?
The SC46 dial is very easy to read and operate with one with one hand. Simply select the range you’re testing and get the job done. Be sure to refer to the Operator’s Manual for safety information and warnings and use safe testing practices when hooking up your multimeter to any A/C or heating system.
Selecting Ranges.
For DC voltage, set the meter to the VDC parameter instead of VAC.
For DC voltage, set the Fieldpiece SC44 Mini Clamp Meter for HVAC/R to the VDC parameter instead of VAC. For all ranges, the user will choose a range just above the value you expect. If display reads "OL" (overload), select a higher range. If display shows less than three numbers, select a lower range for better resolution.
Competitive Advantages.
