A multimeter can be a hand-held device useful for basic fault finding and field service work or a bench instrument which can measure to a very high degree of accuracy. They can be used to troubleshoot electrical problems in a wide array of industrial and household devices such as electronic equipment, motor controls, domestic appliances, power supplies, and wiring systems.
Complete with a backlit 6,000-count digital display that features large digits for easy reading, the Fluke 177 is exceptionally user friendly. Its straightforward labeling clearly shows the function of each button, dial, and jack. And best of all, this True RMS meter gives you easy-to-understand readings. For example, a simple beep indicates when a wire or fuse is functioning properly--no beep means it's time to recheck your settings.
For further convenience, the Fluke 177 offers auto ranging, and it guards against common errors that could lead to inaccurate readings. For example, if you forget to turn the dial to 'A', and then feed current into the meter, or if you switch the dial to 'A', but forget to switch the lead to amps, this meter will alert you to the problem.
