The Fluke 87-5 Industrial Digital Multimeter is a top - notch tool designed for efficient troubleshooting. It offers high - resolution and accuracy, making it ideal for motor drives, plant automation, power distribution, and electromechanical equipment. Even in noisy, high - energy, and high - altitude areas, it performs exceptionally well. Its low - pass filter enables accurate frequency measurements on variable frequency drives (VFDs) and can capture fast intermittents as quick as 250 µS. The package includes one Industrial True Rms Multimeter. Key features are a unique function for precise voltage and frequency measurements, a built - in thermometer for temperature readings, a large digit display with a bright two - level backlight for easy reading compared to older models, a selectable filter for accurate measurements, 6000 counts, and resistance, continuity, and diode testing capabilities. Specifications show it weighs 1.227 KG, with a height of 8.9 CM, length of 24.1 CM, and width of 16.5 CM.
Using the Fluke 87-5 is quite straightforward. First, turn it on and select the appropriate function on the device for the measurement you need, like voltage, frequency, or temperature. For voltage and frequency measurements on VFDs, you can use the low - pass or selectable filter for more accurate results. When taking temperature readings, use the built - in thermometer. Make sure to hold the device steady and connect the probes properly for reliable measurements. As for safety, don't use it in wet or explosive environments. Keep it away from strong magnetic fields as they can affect the accuracy. When it comes to maintenance, clean the exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Check the battery regularly and replace it when it's low. Store the multimeter in a cool, dry place to ensure its long - term performance.
