[RE-wrenches] Amp Clamp-Fluke Recall

[Wallace Stahle]

>I like me Fluke 337. db



Folks with Flukes,


Check out www.fluke.com/33Xrecall for specifics on amp clamp meters being
recalled.



Description of the problem

Through quality assurance tests, we have discovered a potential short
circuit connection on the circuit board. This may lead to inaccurate voltage
readings including a low or no voltage reading on a circuit energized with a
hazardous voltage. This finding could create a hazardous situation if the
user were to contact live voltage based on an erroneous instrument reading.
