Description
As a proud owner of the first wireless digital
multimeter, LT17AW, you are well on your way to
eliminating tangled wires. LT17AW will give you
the power to receive measurements wirelessly
from anywhere on the jobsite. For instance, you
can transmit indoor wet bulb measurements
over-the-air while you work at the condenser.
Your LT17AW can receive measurements
wirelessly from any Fieldpiece accessory head
connected to a Fieldpiece wireless transmitter
like ET2W or EH4W.
In addition, your LT17AW can also transmit
wirelessly any measurement range on the dial
to any Fieldpiece wireless receiver, like EH4W,
HG3, or another LT17AW.
Your LT17AW easily syncs with compatible
wireless Fieldpiece transmitters and receivers.
LT17AW has a wide wireless range to cover the
whole jobsite.
Your LT17AW remembers the last meter it was
synced with, so there is no need to constantly
resync the same pairs. Note: this feature is
available when synched to single-link receivers
such as the LT17AW, ET2W, and EH4W.
Controls
Rotate dial to the function you want to use.

wireless products.
Press to activate MAX or MIN. Hold to
return to normal mode.

Functions
Wireless Receiver Mode
Use your LT17AW to wirelessly receive
measurements from any Fieldpiece wireless
transmitter you have set up on the jobsite.
LT17AW
1. Select RECV switch position. Hold SYNC but-
ton for one second. Search pattern initiates.
Fieldpiece Transmitters
2. Connect any Fieldpiece accessory head to a
Fieldpiece transmitter.
3. Select DC switch position for all accessory
heads except ACH4 (AC switch position).
4. Hold SYNC button for one second.
Note: When a connection is made, the signal
strength and battery life of the partner de-
vice will be displayed on top of the LT17AW
screen. If no partner device is found within
two minutes, the LT17AW will stop searching.
Wireless Transmitter Mode
Transmit measurements wirelessly direct
from LT17AW or from an attached Fieldpiece
accessory head to Fieldpiece wireless receivers,
which lets you be in multiple places at once.
LT17AW Sending Direct Measurements
1. Select any switch position other than RECV.
2. Hold SYNC for one second until meter beeps.
Search pattern will initiate on LCD.
Fieldpiece Receivers
3. Select RECV switch position. Hold SYNC but-
ton for one second. For HG3, highlight the test
line and hold SYNC button for one second.
Note: When a connection is made, the signal
strength to the partner device will display on
LT17AW. If no partner device is found within
two minutes, the LT17AW will stop searching.
LT17AW Transmitting Accessory Head Reading
1. Connect any Fieldpiece accessory head to the
LT17AW by removing the probe tips from test
leads and plugging into accessory head plugs.
Insert test leads to COM and VΩ ports.
2. Select a mVDC range for all accessories except
for ACH4 (mVAC range).
3. Hold the SYNC button for one second.
4. Follow "Fieldpiece Receivers" section above.
Wireless Auto-Connection
When powered on, LT17AW will search
and connect to the last connected single-link
partner device (LT17AW, ET2W, or EH4W).
Temperature (°F/°C)
Plug any K-type thermocouple directly into the meter to measure
temperature. Cold junction is located “inside meter” and allows for
extremely accurate measurements even in rapidly changing ambient
temperatures (going from rooftop to freezer). No adapter is required.
See Temp Calibration section for calibration instructions.
