As you can see, it measures Amplifier 01 amps. It was used for that exact purpose and I found a short on a 12v GMC van by using it.
It is possible to set a max and min value
Having read your post, I went to the Fluke website and found it useless. I then took the the unit out and put it on a DC telephone line to a hydronic zone valve on the water heater, and it measured. On the meter it reads 46 amps (probably in milliamps). Once that was done, switch to the AC line and clamp around the line leading to a 500-volt bulb I measured the wattage of the work light. I was overcharged by 05 amps (which should not have exceeded Differences in DC and AC amps should be expected to arise from the base, as DC amps should be less than I was frustrated because I couldn't get it to work right the first time.
I affirm that this is the case. Several FLUKE models have backlights that come from the right side, slightly affecting the luminance on the left side of the screen. Other models have a better illumination on the It doesn't appear that your clamp meter is malfunctioning. Design limitations are the only reason for this.

Here is the one you can rely on. A major reason for buying the meter is the DC current clamp that can be used in auto applications. You can use it to find phantom loads that negatively impact a car battery after the engine is shut down overnight. It measures down to 50 mA. Besides the True RMS and AC voltage, this data logger also has current and voltage measurements. Therefore, it can be used for HVAC systems as well as automotive air conditioning It is not my first time using knock off meters. They are a waste of money. There is no reason to trust them when it comes to DC clamping. There really is a difference between the quality of a product and its price. This meter is something that I would definitely buy again if I lost or broke it.
This meter is easy to use, as it has the same features as my Fluke 902 meter (which I have and works still), but is slightly smaller in size. I have used this meter for about 2 years now for my line of work, which is an HVAC As a result of my own experience, I can say it is very durable and reliable, since I dropped it numerous times without ever experiencing any damage. Over the years, I've used different brands of meters during my time working as an HVAC technician in Las Vegas and this one is by far the best! I've had a different fieldpiece before that would read 400 volts when it was supposed to be I am dangered by meters that fail in that way, since I might get electrocuted if I don't double check the voltage just to be safe. What can I say, buy what you can afford! While I understand that these meters are very pricey, in my line of work they pay for themselves quickly in the number of service call.
It was primarily purchased to use on generators for work I do as an HVAC/Generator Technician. Besides what I found online or in other reviews, here are a few things I was unable to find. did some testing on the amp clamp at low values (like a parasitic drain) because a bench top power supply and an electronic load were available to me. The readings were really low, like 30 There is no way to read 40mA if it's always read as 20mA, but it's In the 50mA and higher range the meter was perfectly accurate. I found it was important to check the zero on a frequent basis since it drifted after a while and skewed Hz is the frequency of the AC current measured by the meter. A strange thing is that the probes themselves are not capable of measuring Hz.
After 3 years of frequent use and abuse, the device is still going strong. It has only had to be changed out for test leads, I would strongly recommend upgrading to silicone insulated if the product will be used or stored in a cold environment, the non-silicone insulated version has a much easier time performing. It's inevitable that silicone leads will crack over time, and the backlit display is essential to my workflow, since I spend a lot of time in dark and dim It was definitely worth it to buy this vehicle over a cheaper 323 model. You should go with the better model if you are a professional with pride in your work. It is recommended that you- A convenient feature to troubleshoot circuits and diagnose inrush currents is the max feature. In most cases, after powering on the circuit, the current will be high for a very short time due to motor load starting up, so since I can't be in two places at once, I set the MIN- setting The MAX button is If you come back to it, you can cycle through the buttons to view the minimum, maximum and current readings.
I got the Fluke 325, which is working great, but it is not what I thought it was. (see picture) I got a Chinese or some other packaging/version that I can't read. There's no point in trying to get the English manuals online since I can get them for free. Additionally, it took 37 days for the package to arrive, so it must have originated My rating of four stars is for the meter, but I am deducting two stars from the seller due to false advertising and taking forever to deliver the order.
Using this product, I was able to get an accurate reading immediately as I searched for the cause of the problem. * I have to say, I have always been happy with Fluke equipment and it is totally worth the price. * I haven't tried the other functions yet since I have a Fluke multi-purpose instrument. I have a multi-meter that I frequently use, but I can see some situations where this might be better than my multi-meter We read meters. My multifunctional device is great when I need to It's usually placed on a flat surface or by leaning against something or standing upright using the stand that it comes with. I can definitely recall times when I had to place my meter in an unusual location This is a good location, but having a clamp to attach the meter to something would be very useful.
Clamp meters designed for measuring AC current are not accurate enough to measure Even though I was mostly interested in a clamp meter that could be used on AC, I still chose to opt for a DC capability at extra cost. If you are working on a car, this should be useful. It is pretty good, based on my first impression. As for the clamp, it displayed 9 A for a 10 A DC current. In one direction, 91 A, and in the other direction, 91 B In the opposite direction, take 94 A That's a pretty good description. It is even possible for physics to work. By putting five loops throughout the clamp (see photo), the 10 A reading gets a five-fold increase to 50 (in my opinion). The following are the first two points. A toy like this can be very expensive unless you use it regularly as a tool.
It is mainly for the DC clamp meter function that I bought it. The scales 0-100 are great and the tool is easy to use There are two 40As and two 400As. The clamp meter can simultaneously measure AC and DC, which is not usually the case. In addition, the peak hold function and its ability to detect the inrush current of an AC motor are excellent. It appears that the resistance measurement only goes to 10ths of a volt and that the voltage reading is very accurate. So this actually would not be your only type of meter but a secondary multimeter in addition to the clamp meter Your tool set will be greatly enhanced by adding this meter to it.
