Features & Benefits
-
True-RMS AC Voltage & Current
Accurate True-RMS measurements on non-linear loads and distorted waveforms — delivering reliable readings in demanding industrial environments where basic average-responding meters give incorrect results. -
Wide Measurement Coverage
Measures voltage up to 1000V AC/DC, current up to 10A AC/DC, resistance up to 50MΩ, capacitance up to 10,000μF, frequency up to 100kHz and temperature from -40°C to 400°C in a single instrument. -
Built-In Temperature Measurement — 80BK Thermocouple Included
Every Fluke 179 comes with an 80BK thermocouple probe for temperature measurement from -40°C to 400°C — ready for HVAC and industrial diagnostics straight from the box. -
Analog Bar Graph
Analog bar graph alongside the digital display enables monitoring of rapidly changing or unstable signals that may not be easily captured on a digital readout alone. -
Display Hold & Auto Hold
Display Hold freezes the reading on screen, while Auto Hold captures and holds stable measurements automatically — useful for single-handed operation in tight spaces. -
Min/Max/Average Recording
Records minimum, maximum and average values over time — helping identify intermittent faults and signal variations during extended monitoring. -
Manual & Auto Ranging
Selectable manual and auto ranging for maximum measurement flexibility across different working scenarios and measurement ranges. -
Backlit Digital Display
Bright backlit display ensures clear, easy readability in low-light working environments such as electrical panels, distribution boards and dark service areas. -
CAT III 1000V / CAT IV 600V Safety
Rated to CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V — approved by UL, CSA and TÜV for safe use in industrial and commercial electrical environments. -
1 Year's Supplier Warranty
