The Fluke 179 DMM has an ergonomically tapered-case design, that incorporates an integrated protective holster, and comes with a lifetime warranty and the latest category IV safety ratings.
It is designed specifically for demanding front-line industrial, electrical and electronic technicians and engineers for use up to 1000V and 10A AC or DC.
The 179 features an exclusive Fluke-designed true-rms engine and boasts 0.09% accuracy with 6,000 counts of resolution on a bright, backlit display.
In addition, the meter offers Min/Max/Avg recording, AutoHold, and Display Hold for enhanced troubleshooting.
While operating in the Min/Max/Avg mode, the meter emits an audible tone to signal a new minimum or maximum reading has been sensed and stored.
The 179 offers impressive speed, as the display powers-up and presents measurement readings twice as fast as other multimeters.
The frequency, capacitance and resistance ranges are up to 100kHz, 10,000F and 50M and it also provides direct temperature readouts in C or F when used with the thermocouple probe provided.
The innovative battery access door allows the user to change the batteries without opening the complete case and breaking the calibration seal. Request a free brochure from Fluke (UK) ...
