Description
As a proud owner of the first wireless
Fieldpiece clamp meter, SC57, you are well on
your way to eliminating tangled wires. SC57 will
give you the power to receive measurements
wirelessly from anywhere on the jobsite. For
instance, you can transmit indoor wet bulb
measurements for target superheat over the air
while you work at the condenser.
Your SC57 can receive measurements
wirelessly from any Fieldpiece accessory head
connected to a Fieldpiece wireless transmitter
like an ET2W or EH4W. Your SC57 comes with
one ET2W wireless transmitter.
In addition, your SC57 can transmit wirelessly
any measurement range on the dial to Fieldpiece
wireless receivers; like EH4W, HG3, LT17AW, or
another SC57.
SC57 is a swivel clamp meter designed for
the HVAC/R technician. The swivel on the
SC57 allows you to see the amperage reading,
regardless of wire orientation. The jaw light

Functions
Wireless Receiver Mode
Use your SC57 to wirelessly receive a live
measurement you have set up at a diffeent
location on the jobsite. Like receiving an indoor
wet bulb temp. when your at the condensor.
Receiving Wireless Measurements
1. Select RECV switch position on SC57. Hold
SYNC button until meter beeps (>1 sec). Search
pattern initiates.
2. Connect and turn on any Fieldpiece accessory
head to the ET2W wireless transmitter.
3. Select DC switch position on ET2W for all acces-
sory heads except ACH4 (AC switch position).
4. Hold SYNC button on ET2W for one second.
5. The wireless measurement, signal strength,
and battery life of the ET2W will display in the
top-right corner of the SC57 screen.
Note: If the ET2W is not connected within 2 min,
the SC57 will beep and stop searching.
Wireless Transmitter Mode
Transmit electrical measurements wirelessly
from SC57 to Fieldpiece wireless receivers like
EH4W, LT17AW, HG3 or another SC57. Leave the
SC57 behind a closed fan door and send the amp
reading to the wireless receiver in your hand.
Sending Wireless Measurements
1. Select any switch position other than RECV.
2. Hold SYNC until meter beeps (>1 sec). Search
pattern will initiate.
3. Select RECV switch position on the Fieldpiece
wireless receiver. Hold SYNC button for one
second.
4. The measurement from the SC57 will be
displayed on the Fieldpiece wireless receiver.
Wireless Auto-Connection
When powered on, SC57 will search and
connect to the last connected single-link
wireless partner device.
Temperature (°F/°C)
Plug any K-type thermocouple directly into the meter to measure
temperature. Cold junction is located inside the meter and allows for
extremely accurate measurements even in rapidly changing ambient
temperatures (going from rooftop to freezer). No adapter is required.
See Temp Calibration section for calibration instructions.
