Description

The SC460 is an essential clamp meter with 

wireless functionality for the HVACR professional.  

Receive wireless measurements from Fieldpiece 

accessory heads and wireless transmitters from 

anywhere on the jobsite. For instance, receive 

an indoor delta T  temperature measurement 

wirelessly from a Fieldpiece transmitter while 

you work at the condenser. Send your electrical 

measurements to the Job Link™ mobile app via the 

Fieldpiece JL2 Transmitter. (See Wireless section for 

more details). 

Hang your SC460 clamp meter to any metallic 

surface with the heavy-duty magnet. See both 

voltage and amperage readings at the same time 

on the big dual display, even in low light conditions 

using the bright blue backlight.  

Verify the order of 3-phase voltage lines with 

just two leads. Capture L1L2 and L1L3 to check 

that motor lines are correctly installed with Phase 

Rotation test.

Take more accurate VAC and AAC readings on 

variable frequency drives with True RMS sensing 

technology. Measure the starting amp draw of a 

compressor with Inrush current mode.

Illuminate the way with a powerful LED built into 

the clamp jaw. Easily see your measurements with 

the bright blue backlight on the display.

Take measurements more safely with one hand 

using the single test lead holder. Test leads come 

with removable gold plated tips to connect with 

Fieldpiece accessory heads.

The SC460 clamp meter is built to withstand the 

rigors of HVACR field work with high impact plastic 

and a display you can read in very hot or very cold 

environments.
