IDEAL Electrical 61-747 TightSight Digital Truerms AC/DC Clamp Meter

The IDEAL 61-747 TightSight clamp meter is a versatile and reliable instrument designed to provide accurate measurements in a wide range of electrical applications. This CAT III 600 V rated auto-ranging true root mean square (TRMS) digital clamp meter can measure up to 400 Amps AC and DC current via the clamp head. It also measures up to 600V AC and DC, frequency, resistance, continuity, capacitance, and diodes via test-leads (included) and temperature (F/C) via a K-Type thermocouple (included).

One of the standout features of this meter is its patented TightSight LCD display, which is located on the bottom of the unit. This innovative design enhances safety and productivity by displaying a secondary reading at the end of the meter, eliminating the need to bend or twist conductors or place your head near the panel in order to see the main meter display. Both displays can be backlit, and a built-in flashlight can be illuminated when working in poor or zero lighting conditions.

The meter is also equipped with a non-contact voltage (NCV) sensor, which can detect the presence of voltage between 40V to 600V in the right tip of the clamp. This feature adds an extra layer of safety, allowing the user to quickly check for the presence of voltage without having to make direct contact with the circuit.

In addition to its measurement capabilities, the IDEAL 61-747 TightSight clamp meter features several other practical functions. The unit uses an illuminated red LED in the center of the meter and emits audible tones to notify when voltage is above 30 volts, when continuity is detected, and when the NCV senses voltage within its set range. The clamp head also has a built-in probe tip holder on the backside of the right clamp, allowing for one-handed measurements.

The meter's industrial-grade over-molding enhances grip and drop protection, making it suitable for use in demanding environments. It also includes a hanging strap mount (compatible with all other IDEAL meters with this feature) that allows for a hanging strap (sold separately) to be attached, enabling the meter to be hung from a nail, screw, or magnetic surface.

The IDEAL 61-747 TightSight clamp meter offers a range of advanced functions, including hold, min/max, relative, zero, range, and selectable auto power-off. It comes with 3 1.5V AAA batteries and an easy-open, fully accessible storage pouch with a belt loop that allows for meter, probe, and thermocouple storage.

In conclusion, the IDEAL 61-747 TightSight clamp meter is a versatile and reliable instrument that combines accurate measurements, enhanced safety features, and practical functionality. Its patented TightSight display and built-in flashlight make it an ideal choice for professionals working in challenging environments.
