Fluke recalls digital clamp meters
Fluke is voluntarily recalling its 373, 374, 375 and 376 digital clamp meters that were manufactured between 1 September 2010 and 1 October 2012.
The company is concerned that the printed circuit assembly in these units may not be properly fastened to the test lead input jack. This may result in inaccurate voltage readings, including a low- or no-voltage reading on a circuit energised with a hazardous voltage, presenting a shock, electrocution or thermal burn hazard.
This voluntary recall involves Fluke digital clamp meters with the model and serial numbers listed below. Any serial number preceded or followed by the letter ‘R’ is not affected by this recall notice.
Model | Manufacture dates | Starting serial number | Ending serial number |

Fluke 376 | Sept 2010-Feb 2011 | 14270001 | 15909999 |

If you own one of these clamp meters, please stop using it and send it back to Celemetrix Pty Ltd (Fluke Australia’s authorised service provider) for repair. Please send only the clamp meter; any test leads/boxes/manuals that are sent with the unit will not be returned.
