Fluke 87 Series V Digital Multimeters: The Industrial Standard

From the control room to the plant floor, the Fluke 80 Series family of digital multimeters has earned its reputation as the digital multimeter industrial technicians trust. When productivity is on the line, the Fluke 80 Series delivers the accuracy and advanced troubleshooting capabilities you need to solve problems fast.

Use its low pass filter function to measure voltage and frequency accurately on electrically “noisy equipment like adjustable speed motor drives. Use the peak capture function to detect intermittent problems and transients as fast as 250 micro seconds (µs).

And work with confidence. The Input Alert function gives you an audible warning against wrong use of input jacks. Fluke 80 Series multimeters are independently tested for use in CAT IV 600V/CAT III 1000V environments. They can withstand impulses in excess of 8,000 V and reduce risks related to surges and spikes.

At Fluke, our ideas come straight from the job site. We work with users like you to create test tools that do the job you want for as long as you need it—and give you full value. We design and build Fluke 80 Series multimeters in the U.S.A. The 80 series is backed by our limited lifetime warranty. And we back them with our limited lifetime warranty so you can work smarter, faster and safer.

The Fluke 80 Series consists of the following models:

• Fluke 83 V Industrial DMM
• Fluke 87 V True RMS Industrial DMM

Electrical safety
All inputs are protected to the 2nd edition of ANSI/ISA S82.01 and EN61010-1 CAT IV 600V and CAT III, 1000 V. They can withstand impulses in excess of 8.000 V and reduce risks related to surges and spikes.

Correctly measure pulse-width modulated motor drive signals
Until now, there hasn't been a multimeter able to accurately measure adjustable speed drives. But the new Fluke 87V is designed specifically to handle these complex signals. Think of the potential productivity you'll gain by taking the guesswork out of drive system troubleshooting. Measurements are correct each and every time.

Complex PWM drive signals are not a problem for the Fluke 87V
