Wireless Receiver Mode

Use your SC460 to wirelessly receive live 

measurements from Fieldpiece wireless tools from 

anywhere on the jobsite. For example, receive an 

evaporator delta T measurement to your SC460 

while you work at the condenser outdoor unit.

Receiving Wireless Measurements

1  Select RECV ( ) switch position on SC460. 

2  Press SYNC button for 1 second until meter beeps. 

Signal strength bars indicate wireless search.

3  Hold SYNC button for 1 second on the Fieldpiece 

wireless transmitter.

4  The wireless measurement, signal strength, and 

battery life of the wireless transmitter will display in 

the top-right corner of the SC460 screen. 

Note: If a Fieldpiece wireless transmitter is not 

connected within 2 min, the SC460 will beep and 

stop searching.

Wireless Auto-Connection

When powered on, SC460 will search for the last connected single-link 

wireless partner. If found, SC460 will automatically reconnect. If not 

found, wireless will stop searching after 2 minutes and an audible beep 

will sound.

Log Measurements in Job Link™

Keep your hands free to focus on the job. Press the HOLD button on 

your clamp meter to log measurements within Job Link mobile app.
