Extech EX623 5-in-1 clamp meter wins award

Extech Instruments was awarded the Gold Industrial Electronics Innovation and Technology Award for its new EX623 5-in-1 clamp meter at Asia's biggest electronics event

Extech Instruments, a subsidiary of FLIR Systems, was awarded the Gold Industrial Electronics Innovation and Technology Award for its new EX623 5-in-1 clamp meter at Asia's biggest electronics event, the 28th annual Hong Kong Electronics Fair and electronicAsia.

The competition and event were organized by the Hong Kong Electronic Industries Association (HKEIA).

The HKEIA competition aims to recognize and reward makers of outstanding new products that demonstrate excellence in design, technology, and feature sets.

Nearly 100 products were entered in the competition and award-winners in three categories--consumer electronics, portable electronics, and industrial electronics--were selected from a narrowed field of 20 finalists.

Jerry Blakeley, president of Extech Instruments, spoke about the award honors, "Extech Instruments has been an exhibitor at the Hong Kong Electronics Fair for many years and we recognize the major significance of this event in the global electronics landscape".

"We are thrilled to receive the gold award for the EX623 5-in-1 clamp meter".

"I was particularly aware of many discussions with judges, buyers and other exhibitors centered on the current economic conditions".

"This year, it was clear that judges and buyers were looking for products that are not only built to exceed the demands of customers, but also to meet their budget requirements".

"By offering one meter that functions in the place of five, the EX623 delivers both high functionality and high value for customers who need to get more and spend less".

About the Winning Product.

Extech's 5-in-1 clamp meter is specifically designed for HVAC/R and electrical professionals in residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial settings.

The EX623 accurately measures AC and DC current, voltage, and temperatures for troubleshooting both new installations and preventive/ongoing maintenance and repairs.

No other clamp meter offers the convenience and versatility of 5 meters in one instrument: AC/DC clamp meter; advanced, True RMS multimeter; infrared thermometer (Extech-patented); non-contact voltage detector; and dual Type-K thermometer.

The EX623's infrared thermometer and laser pointer make temperature readings simpler and safer.

And, having two Type K thermocouple inputs make superheat and sub-cooling temperature measurements easier to perform.

The DC microamp function is ideal for flame rod current measurements and the EX623's generous 36mm jaw opening handles conductors up to 500MCM.

To make users' everyday installation, diagnostic, and maintenance tasks simpler and easier, Extech's EX623 offers users a valuable combination of 5-in1 convenience, a rugged double-molded housing, competitive pricing, top-spec capabilities, and less toolbelt/toolbox clutter that no other brand can offer.

Extech's 5-in-1 redefines expectations about clamp, multimeter, voltage detector, IR thermometer and Type-K thermometer functionality and form factor.

Designed by customer feedback, users increasingly demand multi-function capabilities, one device, and no compromises.
