A strong inrush current may set off its safety system or even
damage your installation. The "Inrush current" function measures
the evolution of the motor's start-up current, without requiring
graphic display, and defines the amplitude-time parameters of
the motor's safety device.

The Inrush function enables you to

obtain true RMS values for a sinusoidal

current calculated on ,1 , 2

1/2

, 5 and

10 signal intervals

■ High-performance and compact.

F0x multimeter clamps measure true RMS for all
currents, even the most distorted. The reading
displayed is true!

■ More than a simple multimeter!

Combining advanced technology and compact design,
these clamps propose a wide range of professional
measurements in a single apparatus!

•

AC/DC voltage

•

AC/DC intensity

•

resistance with audible continuity and semi­conductor test

•

Frequency

•

Single and balanced three-phase power

•

Temperature

•

Adapter function allowing the addition of probes
adapted to different physical measurements:
hygrometry, light metering, tachometry, etc.

■ Other special features

On three-phase systems, the phase rotation
sequence is indicated.
A Min/Max button allows access to minimum and
maximum values (AC and DC) as well as to the peak
values of a signal.
Another "extra": in resistance mode the semi­conductor test (or diode test) verifies that the
different components are functioning correctly, and
detects any short-circuits or cuts on your installation.

Measuring temperature

Because they are so small

and easy to handle, these

F01 / F03 / F05/ F07/ F09

clamps can be used

anywhere !

By the simple
addition of a sensor,
the Temperature
function of

F03 and

F07 clamps

measures both
ambient and surface
temperatures,
in °C or °F.

■ Enhanced ergonomics

After several minutes without use, the clamps switch­off automatically, optimizing battery autonomy. Light
and robust, the clamps are specially designed for
all-round professional use.
Each clamp automatically selects the nature of the

signal to be measured (AC or DC) and the

measurement range (auto-range). It is however

possible to switch to manual mode as desired.

Measurement

of physical quantities

is made easy, using

the F07 adapter func-

tion : with memorisa-

tion in scale factor

decades enabling the

direct reading of

measurements

■ Ease of use and enhanced safety

features

On the ohmmeter function, the Hold button carries out
lead resistance compensation automatically (Ω Zero),
ensuring reliable measurements without necessitating
complex adjustments.
Likewise, in DC ammeter mode, the apparatus also
automatically corrects direct current measurement
variations (DC Zero) by simply pressing on the
function key.
User safety is ensured thanks to the V-live function
integrated on the clamps: a buzzer sounds in voltage
measurement mode, to warn that a potentially dangerous
voltage (greater than 45 V peak) has been detected.
