Milliamp Process Clamp Meter
Introduction
The hand-held, battery-operated Fluke 772/773/773-II Milliamp Process
Clamp Meters (the Meter or Product) can be used in troubleshooting
transmitters, valves, PLC and DCS I/O. Unlike conventional clamp meters,
the Meter features a remote jaw that is connected to the main body via
extension cable.
Features
In-circuit measurement of 0 mA to 24 mA dc and up to 99.9 mA dc
using a remotely connected clamp via extension cable
0 mA to 24 mA dc sourcing and simulating
0 V to 10 V dc sourcing (773/773-II)
Loop power supply 24 V dc output
0 V to 30 V dc measurement (773/773-II)
Scaled mA output (773/773-II)
Simultaneous mA measurement via detachable clamp and mA
sourcing (773/773-II)
250 Ω HART resistor for mA source
Electronic zero
Percentage span (0 % to 100 %)
Hold
Auto power off (battery saver)
Display backlight
Measurement spotlight LED
