October 27, 2006—Fluke Corporation, a supplier of handheld electronic test and measurement technology, has a new family of digital multimeters (DMMs), including the Fluke 117 Electricians’ Multimeter with non-contact voltage detection and the Fluke 116 HVAC Multimeter with temperature and microamps capability. The family of true-rms meters comprises four models, each designed to meet the requirements of specific application areas.
The Fluke 117 Electrician’s Multimeter is suited for use in commercial settings such as buildings, hospitals, and schools. The meter includes integrated VoltAlert non-contact voltage detection, a technology designed to quickly sense the presence of ac voltage, which eliminates the need to carry another tool, and to determine proper grounding with a visual indicator.
It also features Auto-V automatic volts detection that eliminates guesswork by automatically determining AC/DC voltage and a new low impedance input function, which helps prevent false readings due to ghost voltage.
The Fluke 117 and 116 are also available in combo kits, in soft carrying cases. Also available is the Fluke 115 Multimeter for field service technicians and the Fluke 114 Multimeter for electrical troubleshooting. All four models are CAT III 600V safety rated and feature large white LED backlit displays and compact design for one-handed operation.
