TPI 285 Digital Clamp Meter
Accurate measurements matter when safety and performance are on the line. The PI 285 Digital Clamp Meter delivers dependable True RMS readings for voltage and current, helping you work with confidence across industrial, commercial and domestic settings. Its auto-ranging function speeds up testing while keeping operation simple.
Built for demanding tasks, the PI 285 Digital Clamp Meter measures AC current up to 600A and voltage up to 1000V DC. Inrush current mode captures motor start-up performance, and non-contact voltage detection adds an extra layer of protection. As a result, you can identify live circuits quickly and safely.
Advanced Measurement Performance
True RMS technology ensures accurate readings even on non-linear loads. The dual display with backlight shows up to 6000 counts and allows you to view minimum, maximum and average values with ease. Frequency, duty cycle, capacitance, resistance and DC microamps expand the meter’s versatility for fault finding and routine maintenance.
Smart Connectivity and Practical Design
Bluetooth LE connectivity links the PI 285 Digital Clamp Meter to the TPI View app for remote readings and report creation. You can store results, add GPS date and time stamps, and email reports directly from your device. Compatibility with the optional A711BT printer also enables fast on-site documentation.
Temperature measurement up to 999°C broadens the scope of applications, while the CAT IV 600V rating ensures safe use in challenging environments. Powered by a 9V battery, the instrument offers up to 90 hours of operation without backlight or Bluetooth, making it a reliable addition to any professional toolkit.
