Product Description
Fieldpiece Instruments, manufacturer of professional-grade instruments for field service, introduces Model SC67 Digital Clamp Meter which measures volts, amps, ohms, capacitance (MFDs), micro-amps, and offers many additional features for the HVAC/ R technician that have never before been incorporated in a clamp meter. The most important benefit of the new SC67 is that it contains a non-contact voltage (NCV) function to warn 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. In addition to the non-contact voltage indicator, the high-voltage (contact) indicator lights up a RED LED and beeps whenever the technician touches dangerous voltage. 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. Another feature of the SC67 is that it is the first hand-held clamp meter to solve the test lead storage problem. The test leads wrap around the body of the clamp meter and the probes snap into the back. The test lead wires are insulated with silicone rubber, which withstands temperature extremes much better than vinyl. They are also more flexible than vinyl. Measurements include volts, amps (200AAC max, best resolution to 0.01 amps), microamps (for flame rectifier diode circuits), temperature, ohms, and MFDs (for motor start and motor run capacitors). The k-type thermocouples plug directly into the meter for excellent temperature compensation. The built-in adapter plug is a convenience feature because many technicians lose the adapters. The SC67, designed in the USA, is a totally new design that meets the changing needs of today’s field professionals with many convenience features.
Fieldpiece SC67 Clamp-On Multi Meter HVAC
This meter allows you very quickly check for voltage presence without even turning the device on. The audible alert is extremely useful.
I’ve never had to change the batteries in this meter. It is definitely very efficient. The leads it comes with are sturdy and tangle-resistant, and they wrap easily around the slim body of the meter.
The meter itself is very easy to hold due to its slimmer than average form. The ammeter clamp is strong enough to clasp your belt loop if you need to use both hands momentarily and have no place to set the meter down.
Rating: 5 / 5
I believe this meter to be very high quality as i have seen many of the professionals around here use exactly the same thing. The instructions leave a lot to be desired, but I won’t hold that against the tool itself.
