Fluke 177/EFSP Manual - Page 5

The Fluke Model 175, Model 177, and Model 179 are batterypowered, true-RMS multimeters (hereafter "the Meter") with a 6000-count, 3 3/4-digit display and a bar graph. This manual applies to all three models. All figures show the Model 179. These meters meet CAT III and CAT IV IEC 61010 standards. The IEC 61010 safety standard defines four overvoltage categories (CAT I to IV) based on the magnitude of danger from transient impulses. CAT III meters are designed to protect against transients in fixed-equipment installations at the distribution level; CAT IV meters are designed to protect against transients from the primary supply level (overhead or underground utility service). The Meter measures or tests the following: ♦ AC / DC voltage & current ♦ Diodes ♦ Resistance ♦ Continuity ♦ Voltage & current frequency ♦ Capacitance ♦ Temperature (Model 179 only) Contacting Fluke To contact Fluke, call: 1-888-993-5853 in USA 1-800-363-5853 in Canada +31 402-678-200 in Europe +81-3-3434-0181 in Japan +65-738-5655 in Singapore +1-425-446-5500 from anywhere in the world Visit Fluke's web site at www.fluke.com.

Models 175, 177 & 179 True RMS Multimeters "Warning" and "Caution" Statements A "XW Warning" identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or death. A "Caution" identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Meter, the equipment under test, or cause permanent loss of data. Unsafe Voltage To alert you to the presence of a potentially hazardous voltage, when the Meter detects a voltage ≥30 V or a voltage overload (OL), the Y symbol is displayed. Test Lead Alert To remind you to check that the test leads are in the correct terminals, LEAd is momentarily displayed when you move the rotary switch to or from the mA or A position. XW Warning Attempting to make a measurement with a test lead in an incorrect terminal might blow a fuse, damage the Meter, and cause serious personal injury. 1
