Description The clamp meter registers the magnetic effect of the electric current, which means that the installation or the individual components conducting the electrical current do not have to be switched off while measuring is being carried out. The iron-core jaw clamps separate and are designed to go around cables, wires and conductor lines without coming into contact with them. The fact that systems or facilities do not have to be shut down or switched off when the clamp meter is used means that the meter saves you both time and money by allowing inspections and checks to be carried out during normal operation without impacting on production or performance, thereby averting costly stoppages, service disruptions and other delays. And last but not least when you use the BE40 clamp meter you are able to benefit from the phenomenon known as galvanic separation because the measuring signal is completely potential free. At-a-glance look at the BE40: Measuring range electricity: 0.01 A AC – 1000 A AC Measuring range voltage: 0 – 600 V (AC/DC) Measuring range resistance: 0.01 Ω – 20 MΩ Large, backlit display (3 3/4-lined) Line diameter / jaw opening: approx. 30 mm Diode test: Test current 0.3 mA, test voltage 1.5 VDC Continuous peep: below threshold <120 Ω, test current <1 mA Value falls short or exceeds measuring range threshold: “OL” appears in display Measuring rate: 2 measurements/sec Input impedance: 7.8 MΩ (VDC and VAC) AC current band width: 50/60Hz (AAC) AC voltage band width: 50/60Hz (VAC) Surrounding temperature (operational): -10°C to 50°C (14°F to 122°F) Surrounding temperature (storage): -30°C to 60°C (-22°F to 140°F) Relative humidity: 0% ~ max. 85% 85% Measuring circuit category / Norm: CAT III 600V / IEC 61010 Micro-environment: Degree of soiling 2 Battery type: 2 x 1.5V AAA Auto power off: after 15 mins of non-use
