Description

The EX845 METERLiNK™ for Android app allowsthe user of an Extech Instruments EX845 clamp meter to remotelyview and display readings from the meter on an Android phone ortablet up to 10m or 30 feet away.

What is METERLiNK?
The EX845 is equipped with METERLiNK™, a Bluetooth-based technologydeveloped by Extech and FLIR that transmits real-time readings fromthe clamp meter directly to a FLIR infrared thermal imaging cameraor to an Android device using this app and the device’s Bluetoothconnection.

Functionality:
The app is used to discover available EX845s in METERLiNK mode,connect to a desired meter, and receive readings transmitted viaBluetooth in realtime.

This includes the display of readings for the following functions:ACV, DCV, ACA, DCA, capacitance, resistance, frequency, diode test,Temperature (both contact, Type-K probe and non-contact, infraredfunctions). Function indicators highlight which measurement mode isselected on the meter. Additionally, Data Hold and Min/Maxfunctions are also remotely displayed.

The METERLiNK app can also display a scrolling log of severalrecent readings for quick reference and basic trending. This isenabled by clicking the measurement mode indicator/button along thebottom of the screen that is active and highlighted.

For example, if you are viewing Voltage, the "V" indicator ishighlighted in the row at the bottom of the screen. Clicking the"V" button will open the reading log.

Remote Display Advantage:
This METERLiNK app allows your EX845 clamp meter to function in amanner similar to clamp meter and digital multimeter (DMM) modelscurrently available with a detachable wireless, remote display. Theadvantage of the app however is that the display on the clamp meterremains intact and continues to function, displaying readingslocally in addition to the remote display on the Android device.Additionally, no PC or wireless transmitter/receiver dongle orother accessory is required to view readings remotely.

Now, electrical professionals can monitor voltage, current, andother readings at a safe distance from hazardous locations.Additionally, it is easier to perform remote tasks such as poweringup equipment from a control panel that is not nearby. Forelectricians who must show readings to a customer or manager, theremote display makes it easy to leave the clamp meter in placewhile showing and explaining findings from a safe location.

Add the convenience of anytime/anywhere remote viewing to yourEX845 today!

The Diagnostic Ecosystem:
The EX845 METERLiNK™ for Android app is one part of Extech &FLIR’s “diagnostic ecosystem” approach to effectivetroubleshooting. Extech and FLIR are committed to offeringincreased connectivity among Extech meters, FLIR infrared thermalimaging cameras and personal devices such as tablets andsmartphones.

The goal of the diagnostic ecosystem is not only to improvecommunication among diagnostic and communication devices but alsoamong technicians and their customers and managers, by leveragingaccurate and coordinated readings from related tools.
