The Fluke 179 True-rms Multimeter is equipped with features essential for diagnosing electrical and HVAC issues. It offers significant enhancements over the original Fluke 70 Series, providing a user-friendly experience for professionals.
Key features include:
- A wide 1000 V measurement range.
- True-rms capability for accurate readings of non-linear signals.
- Measurements for capacitance, resistance, continuity, and frequency.
- Integrated thermometer (exclusive to the Fluke 179 model).
- A large, easily readable display.
- Backlight for visibility in low-light conditions (available on Fluke 177 and 179 models).
- Min/Max/Avg functions to track signal fluctuations.
- Display hold and auto hold features.
- Manual and automatic ranging for versatile use.
Electrical Safety: All inputs are protected to CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V standards, safeguarding against transient impulses exceeding 8000 V and protecting users from arc blasts.
The Fluke 175 and 177 multimeters are also available; refer to specifications below.
