Product serial numbers appear on product box and on back of product. If serial number cannot be found, consider your clamp meter to be an Affected Product.

If you cannot locate the serial number on your clamp meter, or if the serial number is illegible, please check the back of the clamp meter to find the country of origin molded into the battery door. If it says “Assembled in Malaysia” or “Assembled in Singapore” you should consider the clamp meter an Affected Product.

Description of safety issue

It has been determined that Affected Products may suffer from a manufacturing error such that a safety protection component may be rendered inoperable, which may lead to a risk of arc explosion, burns or electric shock.

For such a risk to occur, the user must apply a hazardous voltage to the terminals of an affected product while the rotary switch is not in the Volt position, which is a misuse of the product. In such a use case, the manufacturing error may mean that there is severely limited or even no protection against arc explosion, burns, or electric shock.

Fluke is therefore proceeding with a recall of all Affected Products as identified above.
