June 13, 2018 (Lincolnshire, Ill.) – Klein Tools (www.kleintools.com), for professionals since 1857, introduces the HVAC Clamp Meter with Differential Temperature (CL450) as well as multiple new K-Type Temperature Accessories. The CL450 provides accurate measurements of DC microamps, differential temperature, inrush current and more. Meanwhile, the available K-Type accessories help extend working temperature ranges for all digital multimeters and clamp meters. Klein’s expansion to the test and measurement line increases efficiency for HVAC professionals, and other tradespeople, who need an all-in-one solution to completing a range of tasks across different jobsites.
HVAC Clamp Meter with Differential Temperature (Cat. No. CL450)
- Easily performs functions specifically for HVAC applications, including:
- Test leads measure AC/DC voltage up to 1000V, 600A AC Current, 60MΩ Resistance, DC millivolts and microamps, resistance, LoZ, continuity, frequency, duty-cycle, capacitance and diodes
- Clamp measures AC current and inrush current
- Dedicated mode for capturing DC micro amp and inrush current
- Low-Pass filter and Low impedance (LoZ) modes help identify and eliminate ghost or stray voltages
- Two K-Type thermocouple ports for differential temperature measurements
- Auto-ranging True Root Mean Squared (TRMS) measurement technology enables accurate readings
- Dual backlit 6000 LCD display provides easy-to-read measurements in low light environments
- Digital temperature calibration at the push of a button for added efficiency
