FLIRs Extech EX830 InfraRed Clamp Meter Touted as SuperVersatile by E.S. Gallaghers HVACR and Electrical Customers



Extech Instruments, a subsidiary of FLIR Systems, Inc. (http://www.extech.com), recently launched Canadian distribution of its comprehensive line of test and measurement equipment including the new EX800 series of clamp-on meters with built-in infrared thermometer which has been a hit with customers of E.S. Gallagher Sales (www.esgallagher.com) , FLIR's representative to Canada's HVAC-R and electrical markets. The innovative EX800 series makes it easy for technicians to measure AC and DC current accurately and also troubleshoot dangerous or hard-to-reach hot spots without the need for a separate IR thermometer.

The top-level EX830 is the only 1000 amp AC/DC clamp meter (http://tinyurl.com/flir-extech) on the market that not only features Extech's exclusive built-in non-contact infrared thermometer with laser pointer, but also includes advanced multimeter capabilities, True RMS accuracy, fast peak hold for capturing inrush currents or transients, and a Type K thermocouple thermometer--all in a rugged, double-molded housing. This is one clamp you'll use everyday on every job.

Dave Shaw, sales manager for E.S. Gallagher Sales (http://www.esgallagher.com), comments on the favorable feedback he is receiving on the Extech clamp-meters, "The EX830 is competitively priced to offer today's HVAC contractor a meter that fulfills all their needs in the field. It does everything from DC and AC current, voltage, resistance, capacitance, frequency, diode and continuity, not to mention its non-contact IR thermometer. What more could you ask for"
