Honeytek HK689D TRMS Clamp Meter
The Honeytek HK689D is the ultimate diagnostic tool for technicians who work across both AC and DC high-power systems. It includes all the advanced features of the HK689A but adds the critical capability of DC Current measurement up to 1000A. This makes it indispensable for automotive, renewable energy, telecommunications, and industrial control applications where understanding DC performance is key. Whether you’re measuring the output of a solar array, the charging system of a large vehicle, or the current draw of a industrial DC motor, the HK689D provides the range, safety (CAT III 1000V / CAT IV 600V), and accuracy (True RMS) required for the job.
Key Highlights:
AC/DC Current Measurement: Measures both AC and DC current up to 1000A, a must-have for automotive and solar techs.
Industrial Safety Rating: Certified CAT III 1000V / CAT IV 600V for use on primary electrical supplies.
True RMS Accuracy: Correct readings on distorted waveforms for both AC and DC measurements.
Robust Design: Double-molded body for enhanced drop protection and durability.
Complete Diagnostic Suite: Includes all features of the HK689A (NCV, Inrush, LoZ) plus DC current capability.
Applications:
All applications of the HK689A, plus:
Solar photovoltaic (PV) system installation and maintenance
Automotive and truck electrical system diagnosis (high DC current)
Data center power supply and UPS system testing
Industrial battery bank and DC drive testing

Product Comparison: HK689A vs. HK689D
The Honeytek HK689 series represents a significant step up in capacity and safety from the HK788 series. The choice between the A and D models is defined by the need for DC current measurement.
Honeytek HK689A: This is a premier AC-only clamp meter. Its standout feature is its 1000A AC current range coupled with the very high CAT IV 600V / CAT III 1000V safety rating. It is the ideal choice for technicians who exclusively work on high-power AC systems, such as industrial plant electricians, commercial HVAC specialists, and power utility workers. It offers all the advanced diagnostic features (Inrush, NCV, LoZ) needed for these fields.
Honeytek HK689D: This is the definitive AC/DC clamp meter for high-power applications. It matches the HK689A in every way but adds 1000A DC current measurement. This single feature makes it the necessary tool for:
Solar Technicians: Measuring DC output from solar panels and strings.
Automotive Diagnostics: Testing starter motors, alternators, and parasitic drain on large vehicles and equipment.
Industrial DC Systems: Troubleshooting DC drives, motor fields, and large battery banks.
