From the molded plastic housing to the buttons and terminals, everything gives the impression of being solid and durable.Īs I am fairly careful with my tools, I haven’t bashed my 115 around too much in the months that I have used it so far. The build quality of the 115 is exactly as you would expect from a Fluke. It’s unlikely that you will see it lit up often because of the 400 hours of typical use on a single 9V battery. On top of that, the display comes with an indicator that lights up when the battery is low.
So accidentally leaving the device on in your toolbox does not have any consequences. To preserve the battery, the 115’s battery-saving function automatically turns the device off after 15 minutes. This feature can give you a good idea of a measurement range without the need for more advanced equipment. If the meter detects a new high or low, it beeps.
FLUKE METER PLUS
The MIN/MAX/AVG recording mode on the 115 captures both minimum and maximum input values, plus keeps a running average of all readings. So regardless of what type of AC waveforms you measure, you can be sure that the reported voltage is on point. This calculation method gives accurate results for both pure and non-pure sinusoidal waves. In short, RMS stands for ‘root mean square’ and is a formula that essentially calculates the equivalent direct current (DC) value of an AC waveform. Additional features True-RMSĪll alternating current (AC) measurements on this multimeter are true-rms. For them, the features of the Fluke 115 are more than sufficient. Most DIYers, hobbyists and technicians do not have any need to measure microamps. This multimeter is heavily targeted towards HVAC professionals, however, and only measures current in the microamps range (up to 600 μA).įor people who develop circuitry for lower-power applications or need a multimeter with microamp measurement for different reasons, the Fluke 177 is the next best option. In the first case, measuring flame sensors, the Fluke 116 would be a better option. Another scenario in which this is helpful is if you develop circuitry that needs to be optimized for power consumption. This is a useful feature if you work with HVAC equipment and need to measure current from flame sensors. One feature that is lacking in the 115 model is the ability to measure microamps.
FLUKE METER MANUAL
But because the Fluke 115 lets you switch between auto and manual ranging mode, you can still choose quick measurements whenever you want. The downside of multimeter autorange modes is that they come with a slight measurement delay. For example, a voltage of 5.0465V shows as 5.047V, and not as 5.0V. In autorange mode, the meter automatically selects the right range and resolution for the value being measured. The meter comes with both manual and autorange modes. This is ideal in situations where you are not able to keep your eye on the screen at all times.
When you use the continuity mode to test things like diodes, fuses and cables, there is a clear, audible beep that notifies you when a measured circuit is closed. With the dial, you can quickly switch between the different testing modes. AC and DC voltage, current, resistance, frequency, capacitance, continuity and diode check, it is all there.
The Fluke 115 comes with all measurement features you can expect from a multimeter at this price.
