A pocket clamp meter that can use flexible sensors
When connected to an optional flexible current sensor*, the CM3281 can be used to measure the current flowing in pairs of wires or in tangled or complexly routed wires around which it was not possible to apply a clamp-on sensor in the past.
* AC FLEXIBLE CURRENT SENSOR CT6280 (4200 A AC, Φ130 mm)
Essential for electrical work: A thin card tester that fits in the pocket with all the capabilities of a clamp meter
The CM3281 delivers all the functionality of a clamp meter and card tester in the form factor of the latter. In addition to current measurement, this single instrument delivers voltage measurement, continuity check, and resistance measurement functionality.
Rugged, portable design that’s drop-resistant
Despite its thin, compact design, the CM3281 has an operating temperature range of -25°C to 65°C and can withstand being dropped from a height of 1 m onto concrete. It’s engineered for use in tough environments.
Comes with a sturdy and lightweight hard case
All accessories can be stored.
