Technology is rapidly changing our world. Electrical and electronic circuitry seems to permeate everything and continues to get more complex and smaller in size. The communication industry booms, and internet connections have put more pressure on electronics technicians. Servicing, repairing, and installing this complex equipment in these environments requires diagnostic tools that provide accurate information.
A digital multimeter (DMM) is simply an electronic tape measure for making electrical measurements. It may have any number of special features, but mainly a DMM measures potential difference (volts), resistance (ohms), and current (amperes). Three watchwords to take notice of when selecting a DMM are safety, quality and performance. Available Fluke models include handheld troubleshooters to ultra-smart instruments packed with features, including the ability to log and graph data. High-precision bench units are also included in the range.
Choosing a DMM requires not only looking at basic specifications, but also looking at features, functions, and the overall value represented by the design and the care taken in its production, reliability and robustness. Reliability, especially under tough conditions, is an important consideration. By the time Fluke DMMs are ready to be tossed into tool cases, they’ve undergone a rigorous testing and evaluation programme.
User safety is a primary consideration in the design of Fluke’s DMMs. Providing adequate component spacing, double insulation and input protection helps prevent injury and meter damage when they are used improperly. Fluke designs its DMMs to the latest, most demanding safety standards, with your safety in mind.
Fluke offers many DMMs with different combinations of features like Auto Hold analog bar graphs, and enhanced resolution. Accessories for high current and temperature measurements are available to extend the capabilities of DMMs.
