Title: Looking for Fluke 80i-kW current/power clamp manual/instruction sheet
Post by: mwb1100 on January 14, 2024, 05:31:30 am
I'm hoping someone here will be able to point me to a Fluke 80i-kW clamp manual PDF.  Google has been no help to me - the only mention of the 80i-kW clamp I've found in a Fluke PDF is the manual for the 744 calibrator (merely indicating that the 80i-kW is compatible with the 744).

I'm sure that I can get by without the manual for measuring current, but I'd like to have the manual on hand if possible for specs and just in case there's some surprise in there.

It seems this is the same as the F.W. Bell UM-7700, but unfortunately their link for it is broken: https://fwbell.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/UN1166.pdf (https://fwbell.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/UN1166.pdf) (from here: https://fwbell.com/resources/user-manuals/ (https://fwbell.com/resources/user-manuals/))

No luck with archive.org.

I do see an e-bay listing with a couple pages: https://www.ebay.com/itm/124813946419 (https://www.ebay.com/itm/124813946419)

At least you'll have a blurry copy of the specifications.

Also, try e-mailing Fluke as well as F.W. Bell.

Wow!  Thanks for that info.

Also, try e-mailing Fluke as well as F.W. Bell.

Sometimes I am amazed at the simple things that don't occur to me.  Thanks again.

I don't know if you've noticed. Today I searched for "UM-7700" and the first result was the manual: https://fwbell.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/UN1215.pdf

Thanks -

the manual at https://fwbell.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/UN1215.pdf is for the UM-7700D which is a different (but clearly related) model that has an LCD display instead of leads to attach to a multimeter's mV range.  The UM-7700D appears to have somewhat better specs than the UM-7700.

The fwbell.com site also has a pdf with a catalog image that has brief spec listings for the UM-7xxx family of clamps (on catalog page 9, which is on the PDF's page 6):

  - https://fwbell.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Hand-Held-Instruments-catalog.pdf

It came from the last entry ("F.W. Bell hand held instruments catalog (legacy products)") in the list presented here: https://fwbell.com/resources/literature/

Between all of the images and PDFs pointed to in this thread, I think I have plenty of info for my needs.  I'll still be sending fluke and FW Bell emails to see if I can get hold of the complete correct manual.

EEVBlog is an amazing community and info resource!
