Flir Extech 380950 Clamp Meter F.A.Q.

How do I measure AC current using the Flir Extech 380950 Clamp Meter?

To measure AC current, ensure the meter is set to the correct range. Open the jaws of the clamp meter and place them around the conductor. Ensure the conductor is centered within the jaws for an accurate reading.

What should I do if the Flir Extech 380950 shows erratic readings?

Check if the meter's battery is low and replace it if necessary. Ensure the meter is set to the correct measurement mode and range. Also, verify that the conductor is properly placed within the jaws.

How can I maintain the accuracy of my Flir Extech 380950 Clamp Meter?

Regularly calibrate the meter as per the manufacturer's instructions. Keep the device clean and store it in a dry place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures and ensure the battery is replaced periodically.

Can the Flir Extech 380950 Clamp Meter measure DC current?

Yes, the Flir Extech 380950 Clamp Meter can measure DC current. Ensure the meter is set to the DC current mode and follow the same procedure as measuring AC current.

What precaution should I take when using the Flir Extech 380950?

Always ensure the meter is set to the correct measurement mode. Do not clamp around more than one conductor at a time, and avoid using the meter in wet or explosive environments.

How do I replace the battery in the Flir Extech 380950 Clamp Meter?

To replace the battery, turn off the meter and remove the back cover. Replace the old battery with a new one, ensuring the correct polarity, and then reattach the cover.

What does it mean if the Flir Extech 380950 displays 'OL'?

'OL' indicates an overload condition, meaning the measured value exceeds the range setting. Switch to a higher range to obtain a correct reading.

How do I use the data hold feature on the Flir Extech 380950?

Press the 'Hold' button while taking a measurement to freeze the displayed value. Press it again to return to normal operation.

Is the Flir Extech 380950 suitable for measuring live circuits?
