Save time by NOT breaking the loop on 4-20 mA signal measurements.
ARE YOU SPENDING TIME:
- Taking mA measurements by removing a wire and breaking the loop
- Calling the control room to isolate a loop
- Testing analog input/output on a console
- Troubleshooting devices with mA inputs and outputs
- Repairing intermittent or erratic 4-20 mA loops
- Going back to the shop to get extra tools
If you need more time in your busy day take a good look at the Fluke 773 mA Clamp Meters. It’s designed to save you time, and money, by eliminating time wasting activities. Now you can troubleshoot and repair 4-20 mA loops without breaking the loop or bringing down the system.
Here are some specific ways the Fluke 773 Clamp Meters will help you:
|
Milliamp Clamp Features
|
Application
|
How it saves time and money
|
|
Measure mA signals for PLC and control system analog I/O without breaking the loop.
|
Measures low level dc current
|
Correlate process indication with real physical value
|
|
Measure output signals from transmitters without breaking the loop
|
Maintain and troubleshoot process and automation equipment without breaking the loop
|
No disruption to the process
|
|
Detachable clamp with extension cable
|
Measurements in tight locations
|
Enables measurements in difficult situations
|
|
Source, simulate and measure mA signals in circuit (break the loop)
|
Confirm non-contact measurement. ve the next tool in hand for troubleshooting (source simulate)
|
Eliminates the need to return to the shop to get a loop calibrator for troubleshooting after finding a bad signal with non-contact measurement
|
|
Source and measure VDC
|
Troubleshoot voltage input and output devices.
|
Measure presence of 24V loop power. Measure 1 to 5 or 0 to 10V process signals. Test chart recorders
|
|
4 to 20 mA In/out
|
Dual channel mA source and measurement for troubleshooting
|
Source 4 to 20 mA signals into valves and mA signal conditioners and simultaneously measure 4 to 20 mA positioning output signals.
|
|
4 to 20 mA scaled output
|
Scaled mA output provides a mA signal output representative of the measured mA value
|
Connect a logging DMM and log the mA signal without breaking the loop
|
|
Loop power supply
|
Power a transmitter
|
Substitute testing of the installed 24V loop power supply. Power a transmitter and measure its mA output signal for troubleshooting.
|
|
Dual backlit display with both mA measurement and percent of 4 to 20 mA span
|
Clear measurement presentation
|
Allows quick measurement evaluation
|
|
Measurement Spotlight
|
Illuminates hard to see wires in dark enclosures
|
Measurement process is easier and quicker
|
|
Measure up to 99.9 mA range non-contact
|
Wide range of measurements
|
Measures 10 to 50 mA signals in older control systems
|
|
Automatic power off
|
After 15 minutes and 2 minute automatic off for backlight and spotlight
|
Saves battery life
