DSS-5000 Inductive Amp-Clamp - Midtronics

The Midtronics A657 DSS-5000 Inductive Amp-Clamp is an essential current probe designed to extend the diagnostic capabilities of the Midtronics DSS-5000 Battery Diagnostic Service System. Engineered for professional automotive, fleet, and commercial vehicle maintenance facilities, this tool provides accurate, non-intrusive current measurements, enabling technicians to perform precise electrical diagnostics with reliable current traces.

Key Features

• Non-Intrusive Current Measurement: Utilizes true inductive technology to measure current via the magnetic field around conductors, allowing for testing without disconnecting circuits.
• Seamless DSS-5000 Integration: Connects directly to compatible DSS-5000 models (CVG, CVG-P, KIT, KIT-P with amp-clamp port) for guided tests and real-time on-screen current waveforms.
• Professional-Grade Durability: Built with a rugged housing and quality components to withstand the rigorous demands of daily use in high-volume automotive and heavy-duty shop environments.
• Efficient Clamp-On Design: Features a slim jaw profile for easy access to and clamping onto starter, alternator, and under-hood wiring, even in confined engine bays.
• Versatile Current Testing: Supports both low and high current applications, including starter draw analysis, alternator output tests, and parasitic drain checks for various vehicle types.

Applications

Integrate the A657 Inductive Amp-Clamp with a compatible DSS-5000 system to perform comprehensive electrical diagnostics across a range of vehicles:

• Analyze starter current draw and evaluate cranking performance on passenger vehicles, light trucks, and fleet vehicles.
• Accurately test alternator and charging system output under various load conditions.
• Diagnose elusive parasitic key-off drains and intermittent electrical issues.
• Verify current flow in individual circuits during repairs, accessory installations, and custom retrofits.
• Conduct thorough battery and electrical system evaluations as part of preventative maintenance programs.
