The Fluke 772 is a milliamp process clamp meter. It is designed to measure and source mA signals for testing and troubleshooting 4-20 mA loops commonly found in industrial processes. Some key features of the Fluke 772 include:
1. Milliamp measurement: The Fluke 772 can measure DC current signals within the range of 0 to 20 mA with a high accuracy of ±0.2% and a resolution of 0.01 mA. This makes it suitable for measuring and verifying the current loops used in various process control applications.
2. Milliamp sourcing: In addition to measuring mA signals, the Fluke 772 can also source mA signals. It can generate a current signal within the range of 0 to 20 mA to simulate a sensor or other current source, allowing users to test or calibrate control systems and devices.
3. Loop power: The Fluke 772 can provide loop power to power devices under test. It has a built-in 24V loop power supply, which allows users to energize the loop and remotely power loop-powered devices like transmitters, pressure switches, and other field instruments.
4. Detachable clamp head: The Fluke 772 features a detachable clamp head, which makes it easier to connect the meter to the measurement point, especially in tight spaces or crowded wiring cabinets. The clamp head's slender design allows it to fit into small areas where traditional clamp meters may have difficulty.
5. Backlit display and hold function: The meter has a backlit display, ensuring clear visibility of measurement readings even in low light conditions. It also has a hold function that freezes the current measurement on the screen for convenient reading and recording.
6. Safety and durability: Fluke is known for its high-quality and robust construction, and the Fluke 772 is no exception. It is built to withstand the rigors of field use and is designed to meet international safety standards.
