Today’s review is quite interesting as we will be discussing the Fluke A3003 FC Wire Digital DC Current Clamp Meter. First things first, the FC in the title means it is Fluke Connect enabled. What this entails is the ability to transmit wirelessly to other Fluke Connect enabled meters or view data via the Fluke Connect Mobile app or on a PC. This allows you to communicate with offsite coworkers and everyone can be on the same page. As for the unit itself it does have the specs you have come to expect from Fluke.

Bacharach ECO-2020 Refrigerant Recovery Machine is no longer manufactured

Today I am reviewing the 416 Mini Vane CFM Anemometer from Testo. The Testo 416’s primary operation is to measure volume flow quickly and accurately. The Testo 416 is great for flow velocity measurements in ducts, evaluating thermal comfort, HVAC installation, repair, diagnostics and optimization, fume hood testing, installation, and verification, ventilation system installation, servicing, and analysis, environmental wind testing, ionizer flow output, automobile aerodynamic testing, plant/facilities maintenance, etc.

Today I am reviewing the AML Pro All Materials Locator for PVC and PE Pipes from Subsurface Instruments. The AML Pro is designed to locate PVC pipes, PE pipes, and almost any other material that has an edge based on the density difference between the soil and the object. The AML Pro uses ultra-high radio frequencies (2.45 Ghz) in order to find the density differences between objects and the soil.

Today I will be taking a look the Ideal R158002 VDV II Plus VDV Cable Fault Tester and going over the features and specifications.

Fieldpiece SC57 is no longer manufactured

Today I will be reviewing the Fieldpiece SC57 Wireless Clamp Meter. As with everything else Fieldpiece does, this is built with HVAC technicians squarely in mind. You can rest assured that this meter will handle your day to day operations and make your life easier. Below I will touch on features of this unit, what tests this unit performs, and the role wireless technology can play in the field and why you should want it.

Today I am reviewing the MF100 AC/DC Magnetic Field Meter from Extech. The MF100’s primary function is to measure both AC and DC magnetic fields in gauss and mT (milli Tesla) via an advanced uniaxial Hall effect sensor with automatic temperature compensation.

Lots of changes have made their way into the HVAC Industry with the latest being the shrinking size of the recovery machine. Yellow Jacket has released their own version with the Yellow Jacket 95730 YJ-LTE Refrigerant Recovery Machine. This unit is hailed by Yellow Jacket as the smallest, lightest, and most powerful unit in its class. The YJ-LTE can be used with Vapor, Liquid, and standard push/pull and weighs in at a lowly 24 pounds. The oil-less compressor packs ½ HP with twin cylinders and has a high pressure shut off at 517 psi.

Tramex CMEXpert II is no longer manufactred

Is finding the moisture content of a roof or wall something that would be of use to your operation?

One half of the device is used to for roofing and the other half is for use on exterior walls. Let’s start with a quick explanation of how it operates.
