Features:
- Auto off: 30 minutes – To disable it, hold down the yellow function button while turning on the power with the dial at the same time. Turn off and on again to re-enable.
- Disable beeper: Hold the Continuity button and turn on the power at the same time..
- Calibration mode: While turning on the AC volts, hold MIN/MAX. For calibration count, avoid pressing anything other than AutoHOLD.
- Smoothing: To smooth an edgy signal, press Range while turning on the power.
- High impedance mode: To test sensitive electronics, hold Hz while powering on.
- Fuse checker: Test amps and milliamps jacks with the red probe only in its ‘home’ (main) terminal — ‘OL’ would indicate a blown fuse..
- Diagnostic screen check: While turning on, hold AutoHOLD to illuminate every digit and icon.
- Button check: Change the voltage to AC and then press each button for a beep.
Build Quality and Design
The Fluke 87v Max is specifically designed for industrial use and harsh environments. The design is waterproof and dustproof by supplementing IP67 standards. Furthermore, the IP67 rating protects against dust and immersion in depths ranging from 15 centimeters to 1 meter. When I mention IP67, most multimeters start compromising on input jack insulation and drop-tested certifications. The Fluke 87v max, on the other hand, has a 13-foot drop test certification. Its exterior silicon casing, which absorbs the majority of the hops and jerks, makes it impervious to drops.
Safety and Protection
Any tool that requires calibration must put safety first. Both tools and technicians rely on it. To prevent power surges from worsening, a 10A fuse is installed at the amperes jack and a 400mA fuse is installed at the mA socket. This not only keeps the multimeter from being blown apart, but also records its calibration levels. Because of the IP67 and 4-meter drop testing certifications, you can use it perfectly. It includes test leads for monitoring voltages up to 1000 volts in both AC and DC circuits.
HVAC technicians, General Contractors, Facilities Maintenance, Electronics Technicians, Automotive Technicians, and Engineers will all benefit from the Fluke 87V digital multimeter. This multimer has many advanced features and is more accurate than most people will need for home use or other construction jobs.
