The rugged new Extech EX845 1000A clamp meter is designed to deliver safety and versatility-without compromising performance or innovation. The EX845's advanced True RMS meter functions include AC/DC current, voltage, resistance, capacitance, frequency, infrared and contact temperature, diode-test, and continuity check. The fast-responding EX845's peak hold function captures inrush currents and transients.
The bright 4-digit, 4,000 count backlit display is complemented by several one-button functions including data hold, min/max, and selectable auto- or manual-ranging. The large 1.7" (43mm) jaw opening handles conductors up to 750MCM or multiple conductors such as two 500MCM. For quick, point and shoot temperature readings, the patented, non-contact IR thermometer with laser pointer is useful for fast hot-spot detection.
The EX845 has a CAT IV-600V, CAT II-1000V overvoltage safety rating and is CE and ETL approved. The meter comes complete with an 8-piece professional test lead set, a 9V battery, Type K temperature probe, and a belt holster. NIST certification is available for this product.

(FLIR infrared cameras quickly locate problems with electrical components such as motors, fuses, breaker panels and more. METERLiNK™ makes it easy for a thermographer to quickly take electrical readings using an Extech EX845 clamp meter and instantly record them right on an infrared image.)

Introducing METERLiNK™
METERLiNK™ is an exclusive new technology that wirelessly connects FLIR infrared cameras to Extech meters via Bluetooth™ to accelerate and simplify inspections. During infrared inspections of electrical components, users can transmit key electrical readings such as current or voltage from an Extech EX845 clamp meter directly to a FLIR infrared camera. METERLiNK™ instantly imprints the electrical readings onto a related infrared image not only adding time-savings, but also ensuring accurate, coordinated documentation for PdM inspection reports.

Thermographer RECOMMENDS THIS PRODUCT
November 11, 2010
The Good:
The Extech EX845 "paired" very quickly with my FLIR T360 thermal camera's Bluetooth interface. I was pleasently surprised to see that all of the EX845 function modes and their levels can be sent to my T360 thermal camera's on-screen display and be saved within the Thermal JPEGS. I found EX845 to be well balanced and easy to operate with 1 hand.
The Bad:
I couldn't find any "bad points" regarding the Extech EX845. The only improvement to the EX845 I can think of is adding the functions the Extech 45158: Mini Thermo-Anemometer with Humidity has. With those newly added functions the EX845 would work as well on building inspections as it presently does on electrical inspections.
The Bottom Line:
The EX845 "learning curve" is very fast and in no time I was adding amp and volt data for each phase into the radiometric jpegs. I did see right away the very serious issue of dust getting inside the thermal camera through the bottom jacks because when the Bluetooth unit is installed you can't close the dust cover. I hope FLIR will fix this.
