Like other meters in the Fluke range of multimeters, the 115 has a durable case and holster, offering excellent resistance to drops, general wear and tear, and humidity. Above all, this multimeter is inherently portable, being lightweight, comfortable in the hand and easy to use. Response time is quick and it covers a slew of measurements compatible within the home and industry. Lacking is a milli/micro-amp jack socket, often found on other multimeters. The quick continuity check of leads, cables, fuses and diodes comes with a beeper, while the Function button extends usage to include frequency and capacitance measurements.Īs for connectivity, there are the standard three input jacks: voltage, resistance and continuity on the main terminal + Common + Amps. The nine position dial includes DC/AC volts and amps, millivolts, resistance, and diode check. The dial is large, prominent, accurate and operable with one hand. When viewed at an angle, it tends to look a bit washed out. The dial and buttons are clear and user-friendly, however, with simple Hold, Min/Max, Range and Function actions, together with a backlight button. While not a major detriment, if it suffers in any area, it is the resolution and contrast of the display itself. The 6,000-count display has easy-to-read digits and includes a responsive bar graph underneath, along with clear unit icons. This Fluke 115 review details the unit’s large display, which comes with a backlight for dim working conditions – good for when probing inside control panels or roof spaces. The meter comes with the standard rotary input selector dial – its small size permitting easy operation with the thumb of the left hand. The compact and lightweight construction allows for the quick measurement of systems on-the-go and it easily fits into overall pockets, tool-kits or kitchen draws. The most notable attribute of this multimeter is its compact size and rugged construction an impressive feat for the relative cheap price considering the prestige of the company. Ergonomically designed, with sweeping case, it is solid outside and in, with a tough holster and case and a neat, intuitively designed, well protected circuit board. A succinct description of the importance of True RMS devices.

This means it can accurately measure varying types of AC waveforms, from standard sine waves supplying homes and industry to irregular waves produced by variable speed drives and digital systems.

Why True RMS?: The Fluke 115 is a true Root Mean Square multimeter, as opposed to an ‘average’ measuring one. – The 115 also has a low impedance ( LoZ) mode that filters out ghost voltages – MIN/MAX/AVG lets users track signal fluctuations – Measurements of non-linear loads are accurate due to True RMS – Auto-ranging automatically selects the correct range on a given setting NOTE: Frequency bandwidth goes beyond 50kHz, though accuracy is not specified.
