Fluke 177 True RMS Digital Multimeter with Backlight
Fluke corporation is the world leader in the manufacture, distribution and service of electronic test tools and software. These can trigger a sequence of events that may lead to serious injury. This is why test equipment must be designed to protect people who work in this high-Voltage high-current environment. The fluke 177 esfp true RMS digital multimeter is compact, rugged, reliable, and easy to use. Unlike averaging meters, which can accurately measure only pure sinewaves, true RMS meters accurately measure distorted waveforms. Calculating true RMS converters require a certain level of input voltage to make a measurement. The ac voltage and current ranges are specified from 5-Percent of range to 100-Percent of range. The selectable ac filter (smoothing mode) helps display a steadier reading when the input signal is changing rapidly or is noisy. The 177 is multi-lingual interfaced (eng, sp, fr, por), and features a 6000-count, 3-3/4-digit backlit display and a bar graph. Because the bar graph updates about 40 times per second, which is 10 times faster than the digital display, the bar graph is useful for making peak and null adjustments and for observing rapidly changing inputs. The min max avg recording mode captures the minimum and maximum input values, and calculates a running average of all readings. When a new high or low is detected, the meter beeps. The external accessible battery is easy for battery changes. The 177 runs about 200 hours without backlight on one 9-Volt battery (included). Also included are a user's manual and a set of test leads. An optional accessory is the 80bk-a integrated DMM temperature probe with a measurement range up to 260-degrees Celsius. The 177 meets cat iii and cat iv IEC 61010 standards. The fluke 177 esfp true RMS digital multimeter is sold one item per package.
