Functions
Wireless Receiver Mode
Use your SC57 to wirelessly receive a live
measurement you have set up at a diffeent
location on the jobsite. Like receiving an indoor
wet bulb temp. when your at the condensor.
Receiving Wireless Measurements
1. Select RECV switch position on SC57. Hold
SYNC button until meter beeps (>1 sec). Search
pattern initiates.
2. Connect and turn on any Fieldpiece accessory
head to the ET2W wireless transmitter.
3. Select DC switch position on ET2W for all acces-
sory heads except ACH4 (AC switch position).
4. Hold SYNC button on ET2W for one second.
5. The wireless measurement, signal strength,
and battery life of the ET2W will display in the
top-right corner of the SC57 screen.
Note: If the ET2W is not connected within 2 min,
the SC57 will beep and stop searching.
Wireless Transmitter Mode
Transmit electrical measurements wirelessly
from SC57 to Fieldpiece wireless receivers like
EH4W, LT17AW, HG3 or another SC57. Leave the

Description
As a proud owner of the first wireless
Fieldpiece clamp meter, SC57, you are well on
your way to eliminating tangled wires. SC57 will
give you the power to receive measurements
wirelessly from anywhere on the jobsite. For
instance, you can transmit indoor wet bulb
measurements for target superheat over the air
while you work at the condenser. WIRELESS ENABLED
Your SC57 can receive measurements SC57 SC57
wirelessly from any Fieldpiece accessory head
connected to a Fieldpiece wireless transmitter
like an ET2W or EH4W. Your SC57 comes with

Temperature (°F/°C)
Plug any K-type thermocouple directly into the meter to measure
temperature. Cold junction is located inside the meter and allows for
extremely accurate measurements even in rapidly changing ambient
temperatures (going from rooftop to freezer). No adapter is required.
See Temp Calibration section for calibration instructions.
