FLIR Systems has announced new flexible coil clamp meters that enable convenient measurements and readings around obstacles.
The new FLIR CM55/57 Flexible Clamp Meters and the TA72/74 Universal Flex Current Probe Accessories are made with narrow, flexible coil clamps, allowing electricians to take accurate measurements in tight, awkward spots that are difficult to access with a traditional hard-jaw clamp meter.
The new flexible clamp meters and flexible current probe accessories can easily easily snake around obstacles to achieve the most accurate measurements and readings, adding up to 3000A AC current for multiple conductor measurements.
Both products are available in 10” flexible coil lengths for easy maneuverability and compact convenience, or 18” flexible coil lengths for larger and multiple conductor measurements, double-wrap requirements, and deeper access.
The CM55/57 Flexible Clamp Meters and the TA72/74 Universal Flex Current Probe Accessories are portable, lightweight, and can withstand a 3m drop.
The also provide bright, dual LED work lights for illumination when taking readings in poorly lit locations. This makes them ideal for electrical inspections around multiple conductors, crowded panels, tight switch gears, large bus bars, and wire bundles.
Most DMMs and clamp meters can be paired with a TA72 or TA74 probe accessory to achieve the same flexibility as that afforded by the CM55/57.
The CM55/57 clamp meters feature Bluetooth communication for remote viewing and data transfer to iOS and Android devices via the FLIR Tools mobile app, so data can be quickly shared and analyzed directly from a jobsite. Users can also connect multiple units wirelessly for remote viewing of multiphase systems. The TA72 and TA74 probe accessories are equipped with a standard banana plug and voltage signal output, making them compatible with DMMs and clamp meters of any brand.
