Fluke has introduced the Models 187 and 189 digital multimeters designed with an advanced feature set to meet the needs of plant maintenance, electrical, control and process technicians. The Fluke 180 Series represents the next generation of powerful and accurate handheld digital multimeters.
The meters boast 0,025% accuracy and 50 000 counts of resolution on a multiple reading display that includes a realtime clock, enhancing troubleshooting with the ability to correlate time of day with events. Users will also enjoy the enhanced 180 Series start up speed.
Logging capability
The Fluke 189 can be set up to capture and store measurement data while unattended, allowing a user to collect information about a measurement over time for later analysis. In the logging mode, the meter monitors all 'changes' in the input signal and then stores a summary of those changes based on a timed interval as well as the stability of the measured signal. Once the logging session is complete (up to three days), the stored information is downloaded to a PC using the optional FlukeView Forms software.
Other DMM features
The 180 Series digital multimeters measure volts, ohms, amps and capacitance, as well as temperature in °C and °F, continuity, and also offer a diode test function. The ergonomic case design houses a multiple reading display for simultaneous readouts, such as true-RMS AC + DC and Hz, dB and mV d.c. etc. In addition to relative mode and min/max/average, the 187 and 189 offer a fast min max mode for capturing transients as short as 250 µs.
The Fluke 189 can store up to 100 separate readings. This allows the user to make a series of measurements using various functions of the meter and review those readings at a later time either through the meter's display or on a PC using the optional FlukeView Forms software.
The closed case calibration feature of the new 180 Series allows calibration adjustments to be made directly from the front panel or through the infrared port. A battery access door battery and fuse changes without breaking the calibration seal. The new 180 Series multimeters have a bright two-level LED backlight, as well as an enhanced LCD with larger digits and a wide viewing angle.
The optional ToolPak accessory provides strap and magnet hangers for maximum versatility, freeing hands for safe and effective use of the meters. Technicians needing to conduct measurements over many hours or days can secure it by locking it using the new LockPak accessory.
The 180 Series DMMs meet the IEC-61010 CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V safety ratings and carry a dust-proof and drip-proof environmental rating.
