EX845 METERLiNK™ for Android APK Download for Android

Description

The EX845 METERLiNK™ for Android app allows the user of an Extech Instruments EX845 clamp meter to remotely view and display readings from the meter on an Android phone or tablet up to 10m or 30 feet away.

What is METERLiNK?
The EX845 is equipped with METERLiNK™, a Bluetooth-based technology developed by Extech and FLIR that transmits real-time readings from the clamp meter directly to a FLIR infrared thermal imaging camera or to an Android device using this app and the device’s Bluetooth connection.

Functionality:
The app is used to discover available EX845s in METERLiNK mode, connect to a desired meter, and receive readings transmitted via Bluetooth in realtime.

This includes the display of readings for the following functions: ACV, DCV, ACA, DCA, capacitance, resistance, frequency, diode test, Temperature (both contact, Type-K probe and non-contact, infrared functions). Function indicators highlight which measurement mode is selected on the meter. Additionally, Data Hold and Min/Max functions are also remotely displayed.

The METERLiNK app can also display a scrolling log of several recent readings for quick reference and basic trending. This is enabled by clicking the measurement mode indicator/button along the bottom of the screen that is active and highlighted.

For example, if you are viewing Voltage, the "V" indicator is highlighted in the row at the bottom of the screen. Clicking the "V" button will open the reading log.

Remote Display Advantage:
This METERLiNK app allows your EX845 clamp meter to function in a manner similar to clamp meter and digital multimeter (DMM) models currently available with a detachable wireless, remote display. The advantage of the app however is that the display on the clamp meter remains intact and continues to function, displaying readings locally in addition to the remote display on the Android device. Additionally, no PC or wireless transmitter/receiver dongle or other accessory is required to view readings remotely.

Now, electrical professionals can monitor voltage, current, and other readings at a safe distance from hazardous locations. Additionally, it is easier to perform remote tasks such as powering up equipment from a control panel that is not nearby. For electricians who must show readings to a customer or manager, the remote display makes it easy to leave the clamp meter in place while showing and explaining findings from a safe location.

Add the convenience of anytime/anywhere remote viewing to your EX845 today!

The Diagnostic Ecosystem:
The EX845 METERLiNK™ for Android app is one part of Extech & FLIR’s “diagnostic ecosystem” approach to effective troubleshooting. Extech and FLIR are committed to offering increased connectivity among Extech meters, FLIR infrared thermal imaging cameras and personal devices such as tablets and smartphones.

The goal of the diagnostic ecosystem is not only to improve communication among diagnostic and communication devices but also among technicians and their customers and managers, by leveraging accurate and coordinated readings from related tools.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

1 ★Claims to be compatible with most Android devices The opposite for me Won't install on either my devices - LG V20 - Lenovo PB1 770M It does install on my old Asus but the Flir Thermal Imaging camera App won't on that device Got it to use with the Flir Tools App because of the Meterlink The Flir Thermal imaging is so good I wanted to add the Meterlink meter to the reports as their marketing promotes but it is incompatible with my devices Lets see if they fix the problem or just turn their back on it Doesn't look like there has been many updates to their software which is a sign of product support (or lack of it) Looks like the newer versions doesn't support Meterlink Can't see the point of bringing out a newer model when they can't get the earlier one working properly Currently very disappointed I expected more from such an expensive meter Not that it's the meter, it seems more like a software issue as it is only a compatibility issue

3 ★good

5 ★Goodapp

1 ★Description says list of compatible devices not limited to only those listed. I took a chance and got burned. I hope they can update this as I love the concept. As of now I have a over priced meter.

1 ★Installed on a Samsung galaxy s2. Program is not compatible with my device as I am able to connect to my meter but not display any values. Tried multiple phone firmwares with no luck. Verified my meter works with an acer liquid e phone. It's very unfortunate that this software is not compatible with a top selling smart phone.

3 ★App does not specify which tablets work with the Bluetooth some do not. Contact Extech for reccomendations using Samsung Galaxy tab and works great

4 ★It had some graphical issues on loading the first time, blank white screen, but that seemed to resolve itself. I wonder if the EX845 has the ability to take amperage and voltages simultaneously, one could create a watt hour meter within the android app then... Or perhaps add a manual option to enter voltage and using live amperage readings create watt hour log within the android app.

1 ★I had down loaded the millimeter, but it fails to connect with Bluetooth . I wonder as to how the millimeter would function
