It’s after 10pm, do you know where your kilowatt hours are?? Now you can find out with the Dent Instruments ELITEpro XC. This little meter packs a big punch into a small unit and does virtually everything you need for determining energy consumption in larger scale operations.
In my last installment I wrote about the Fieldpiece HS36 Stick Meter. 
This meter accepts the accessory heads that Fieldpiece makes to expand its meters to fit its customer’s specific needs. The ACM3 CO Detector Head (pictured at right) is a snap-on Accessory that adds the capability of measuring CO to your Fieldpiece Stick Meter.
When we last left off, I gave a small introduction to Fieldpiece and
their philosophy regarding Multimeters in the HVAC world. Today we are going to discuss their HS36 TRMS Stick Meter. The Fieldpiece HS36 TRMS Stick Multimeter represents the top of the line Stick meter that Fieldpiece currently offers. For those unfamiliar with Stick style meters, this post should be a great introduction.
In a world filled with chaos and seemingly infinite thermal imaging choices, one man seeks to reveal the truth about the features and uses of Flir’ series of cameras. This is part VI and the completion of this heroic quest - FLIR T Series bx (T420bx, T440bx, T620bx, T640bx) for Building Diagnostics Applications!! (Too overdramatic?). Anyway, this is the last one for this blog series.
My epic blog series continues with Part V of Flir’s “How to Choose” video series; this installment focuses on the T series cameras and their benefits as applied to electrical and mechanical applications. If you have read my other post (and I will be greatly saddened if you have not…), you have a good idea of the features available thus far in Flir’s camera line.
Fieldpiece Instruments is a California based manufacturer
that produces professional-grade testing equipment with a specialty in the HVAC/R market. While most Multimeters are designed for laboratory work or for use by electricians, Fieldpiece wanted to create a meter that was specifically designed with HVAC technicians in mind. What they came up with was the Stick Digital Multimeter.
Last month, I wrote a small piece about the
Byte Brothers Real World Certifier and spoke of its features and benefits. Today I will be expanding on this product by discussing a kit produced by Byte Brothers that packages the Real World Certifier and their Power Panel CAT5/6 DVM Tester, the CPK1000IL.
Today’s technicians demand utility out of their equipment.
Gone are the days of having a tool box full of one-off testers. With the proliferation of the digital age and the technological advancements it has brought with it, technicians are demand their testing equipment keep up. Likewise, with the economic times we are facing this decade, more technicians are branching out into new fields.
FLIR “How to Choose” Series Episode IV: A New Hope (for home diagnostics). There’s a Star Wars joke for you nerds out there. And now down to business… The FLIR E Series bx cameras are specially designed to handle building inspection applications and ensure that you can get your results to homeowners, contractors and insurance companies to show what needs to be fixed and where – all in an instant.
The epic saga of the FLIR “How to Choose” summaries continues with this third installment. This time around we are taking a look at the E series cameras with particular regard to electrical and mechanical applications. FLIR’s video lists the same jobs as in its i-series videos but notes that the E series is most useful for applications that require more frequent thermal camera use.
