BCM-44 / BCM-44B

Bare-hand Live-line work safety.

BCM

When it comes to boom current monitoring, we stay well-grounded.

Model # BCM-44, BCM-44B

  • Extremely rugged and dependable design
  • Designed for operation in a variety of weather conditions
  • Automatic Safety Check for shorted or mis-wired test cables
  • Low Range: 0-99 microamps A.C. or D.C. with 0.1 μA resolution
  • High Range: 0-500 microamps A.C. or D.C. with 1 μ A resolution
  • Display variable set point

BCM-44 is a state-of-the-art current monitor designed for continuous operation during bare-hand work. The BCM has an adjustable set point between 1 and 500 microamperes AC or DC. A 106DB multi-tone horn sounds an audible warning if this current set point is ever exceeded during use.
