The new Fluke 80 Series (83, 85 and 8 7) is a family
of versatile analog/digital multimeters with an im-
pressive range of capabilities, including fre-
quency, duty cycle and capacitance measure-
ment. Designed for electronic applications, the 80
Series features durable construction and several
unique safety features.
MIN MAX AVG RECORDING MODE W/MIN MAX ALERT
Stores the highest, lowest and average of all readings,
allowing you to monitor a signal for seconds or days.
Selectable response times allow you to specify the time
required to sense changes. Min Max Alert gives an audible
tone for readings above or below previous minimums or
maximums.
FREQUENCY, DUTY CYCLE AND CAPACITANCE
Fluke 80 Series meters have a counter for frequency
measurements from 0.5 Hz to 200 kHz, and duty cycle
measurements from 0.1 % to 99.9% of cycle. All three
meters measure capacitance from 10 pF to 5 uF. Larger
value capacitors may be measured using the analog dis-
play in the resistance mode.
FAST 3-3/4-DIGIT, 4000 COUNT DIGITAL DISPLAY,
HIGH RESOLUTION ANALOG DISPLAY
Digital display updates 4 times/second. For changing or
unstable signals, the 87 features a high-resolution analog
pointer; the 83 and 85 use an analog bargraph. The 83 and
85 also feature Zoom Mode for higher resolution analog
readings. Analog displays update 40 times per second .
4-1/2 DIGIT MODE, 1MS PEAK HOLD, TRUE-RMS,
BACK-LIT DISPLAY (87 ONLY)
The Fluke 87 is a true-rms ac meter, and offers 4-1/2 digit,
19,999 count high resolution mode, plus 1ms Peak Min
Max hold. The back lit display assures readability in poorly
lit settings . Light shuts off automatically after 68 seconds,
prolonging battery life.
TOUCH HOLD & RELATIVE MODES
Touch Hold captures the measurement, beeps and
locks it on the digital display until you're ready to
view it. It automatically updates with each new
measurement. The Relative Mode remembers a
reading and shows the change (difference) be-
tween it and any readings that follow.
RUGGED, SEALED CONSTRUCTION
Splash proof and dust proof case and a specially
designed protective holster protect the meter even
under harsh operating conditions. All units are
sealed and EMI shielded.
STANDARD EQUIPMENT
Every meter comes packaged with a yellow protective
holster complete with Flex-Stand, safety-designed test
leads, 9V battery (installed), manual and operator guide.
