GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH
METRAClip85 and 86
Clamp Multimeters
Applications
• Measurement of starting current for electric motors
• Measurement of motor temperature rise with temperature
sensors
• Measurement of direct current, e.g. automotive batteries
Features
Display Memory (data hold)
The momentary measured value can be “frozen” at the display.
Data Logging (max., min., peak)
Measured values can be stored for long-term observation of mea-
sured quantities. At the same time, maximum, minimum and peak
values (METRAClip86 only) are acquired for the duration of the
selected recording time.
True Inrush
Measurement of motor starting current characteristics based
upon the relationship between amplitude and time.
This function makes it possible to track rapid current changes of
the damped sinusoidal oscillation type by measuring successive
TRMS values which are calculated over ½, 1, 2½, 5 and 10 peri-
ods based upon the largest calculated TRMS value, and are
refreshed via a half-wave.
Relative and Differential Measurements
A momentary measured value can be saved as a reference value.
A differential value based on the momentary measured value and
the reference value can be generated and displayed for each fol-
lowing measurement. Alternatively, the differential value can be
related to the reference value and displayed as a relative value as
a percentage for each following measurement.
Safety Devices
• Visual indication is provided in the event that the measuring
range is exceeded.
• An intermittent acoustic signal warns the user of voltages
which are equal to or larger than the safety voltage of
1000 V
DC or TRMS
.
Automatic Shutdown
The device is shut down automatically in the event that none of
the keys or the rotary switch are activated for a duration of 10
minutes. Automatic shutdown can be deactivated.
