Chauvin Arnoux F404 True RMS Clamp Meter

The Chauvin Arnoux F404 True RMS Clamp Meter builds on the already-exciting features of the F403 True RMS Clamp Meter, with modifications to improve the accuracy and reliability of the instrument. With an enhanced AC voltage measurement range of 50mV to 1200V rms, and an enhanced DC voltage measurement range of 50mV to 1700V, the F404 is the ultimate tool for maintenance, testing, and monitoring, as it is optimised for use on DC current, temperature, adaptor function, and ΔREL.

The F404 is equipped with a large, 10,000-count backlit display, and also provides maximum protection and safety to the user regardless of conditions and installation type. The instrument is protected against dirt and dust thanks to an IP54 rating, which means it can be used in a plethora of environments with confidence. Whatever the waveform of the signal, the F404 can offer accurate measurements which can be used by electricians to make informed decisions. With a clamping diameter of 48mm, the F404 has the ability to run 'Min/Max' tests, as well as 'RELativ ∆X / ∆X/X (%)', and 'THD and Harmonics'.
