Today’s review is quite interesting as we will be discussing the Fluke A3003 FC Wire Digital DC Current Clamp Meter. First things first, the FC in the title means it is Fluke Connect enabled. What this entails is the ability to transmit wirelessly to other Fluke Connect enabled meters or view data via the Fluke Connect Mobile app or on a PC. This allows you to communicate with offsite coworkers and everyone can be on the same page.

The summer season is in full swing and refrigerant recovery is the name of the game. Bacharach is no slouch in this category and the ECO-2020 Refrigerant Recovery Machine is the proof in the pudding as it were. This unit boats a powerful 1 HP 2-cylinder oil-less compressor that gives it quiet running performance. As with most recovery machines today, this unit is compatible with all category III, IV and V refrigerants and can also be used for R410a liquid and vapor.

Today I am reviewing the 416 Mini Vane CFM Anemometer from Testo. The Testo 416’s primary operation is to measure volume flow quickly and accurately.

Today I am reviewing the AML Pro All Materials Locator for PVC and PE Pipes from Subsurface Instruments. The AML Pro is designed to locate PVC pipes, PE pipes, and almost any other material that has an edge based on the density difference between the soil and the object. The AML Pro uses ultra-high radio frequencies (2.45 Ghz) in order to find the density differences between objects and the soil.

With the ever increasing connectivity of our lives, having a reliable cable verifier is becoming a minimum for technicians. Ideal Industries have introduced a new line of VDV testers and promise that they are more than just a wire mapper. Today I will be taking a look the Ideal R158002 VDV II Plus VDV Cable Fault Tester and going over the features and specifications.

Today I will be reviewing the Fieldpiece SC57 Wireless Clamp Meter. As with everything else Fieldpiece does, this is built with HVAC technicians squarely in mind. You can rest assured that this meter will handle your day to day operations and make your life easier. Below I will touch on features of this unit, what tests this unit performs, and the role wireless technology can play in the field and why you should want it.

Today I am reviewing the MF100 AC/DC Magnetic Field Meter from Extech. The MF100’s primary function is to measure both AC and DC magnetic fields in gauss and mT (milli Tesla) via an advanced uniaxial Hall effect sensor with automatic temperature compensation.

Lots of changes have made their way into the HVAC Industry with the latest being the shrinking size of the recovery machine. Yellow Jacket has released their own version with the Yellow Jacket 95730 YJ-LTE Refrigerant Recovery Machine. This unit is hailed by Yellow Jacket as the smallest, lightest, and most powerful unit in its class.

Today I am reviewing the CMEXpert II Concrete Moisture Meter from Tramex. The CMEXpert II’s primary operation is to detect and evaluate the moisture conditions within slab or screed via non-destructive means by using electrical impedance.

Is finding the moisture content of a roof or wall something that would be of use to your operation? Today’s review will help answer that question as we look at the Tramex RWS Moisture Content Detector.  This handheld scanner is really two of Tramex’s products built into one device. One half of the device is used to for roofing and the other half is for use on exterior walls. Let’s start with a quick explanation of how it operates.
