Fluke 233 Fluke 233 Application Guide - Page 37

Networks "I would use the Fluke 233 gathering readings on the variation of current consumption of our telecom equipment across its temperature range in a thermal chamber. Due to the remote read-out, I should be able to place the test unit, multimeter base and a current probe inside the chamber while gathering readings outside of the chamber. I can then vary the environmental temperature and measure the variation in the current going to the amplification section of the wireless equipment." M.N., Minnesota "I can easily imagine using the Fluke 233 at a broadcast transmitter site. There are instances when you need to measure a parameter inside the box. Some will defeat the door safety interlocks to make the measurements. They will place the probes on a circuit in the back, run around to the front of the transmitter to energize the circuit, then run back to see the reading, run to the front to make adjustments, run back to the rear to check the readings, etc. It would be great to be able to place the probes, close the rear door and then safely take the readings while energizing and adjusting the circuit from the front, keeping the door safety interlocks in place." J.B., Kansas "The most major problem that we face when we install a device network for the assembly line is the voltage drop that happens in a node which causes the break in the communication with the devices that connected to it and halt the communication with all the nodes that exceed that node. To solve this problem we usually disconnect all the communication nodes and reconnect them one by one while we measure the DC power in the control panel and when we notice a voltage drop by 10% we add a power supply. With the new Fluke 233 it will make the job much easier and there is no need to keep going back and forth to and from the control panel to check the DC power, so we save time and effort to solve the problem."
