Fluke 179 Fluke 73, 77, 175, 177, and 179 Digital Multimeter Datasheet - Page 1

Fluke 73, 77, 175, 177 and 179 Digital Multimeters Versatile meters for maintenance, field service and bench repair. The 170 Series have the features needed to find most electrical, electronic, electro-mechanical and heating and ventilation problems. They are simple to use and have significant improvements over Fluke's original 70 Series like true-rms, more measurement functions, conformance to the latest safety standards, and a much larger display that's easier to view. Why you need a true-rms meter • Electronic loads with switching power supplies or inverters distort the ac voltage and current sine wave • Non true-rms meters can measure up to 40 % low • True-rms meters make the most accurate measurements when the sine wave is distorted 170 Series features include: • Wide 1000 V measurement range • True-rms for precise measurement of non linear signals • Capacitance, resistance, continuity and frequency • Built-in thermometer (179) • Large, easy-to-read display • Backlight for work in dim areas (177, 179) • Min/Max to record signal fluctuations • Free your hands with the optional TPAK magnetic hanger Electrical safety All inputs are protected to measurement Category III 1000 V and Category IV 600 V. They can withstand transient impulses in excess of 8000 V assuring your protection from surges and spikes.
