Fluke Launches Utility Multimeter To Aid In Solving Most Electrical Problems

Everett, WA - Fluke Corporation has introduced a new, easy-to-use utility multimeter designed to help utility workers, linemen, and electricians quickly diagnose electrical problems.

The new Fluke 113 Utility Multimeter gives utility users the means to quickly and easily do basic meter set and reconnect testing. This electrical tester delivers more capabilities for the dollar, combined with the accuracy, durability and safety that make Fluke tools famous.

The Fluke 113 digital multimeter (DMM) or multitester has the features needed to repair most electrical problems. Using the Fluke VCHEK LoZ, low impedance measurement function, users can simultaneously test for voltage or continuity. The Min/Max function lets them record signal fluctuations. The Fluke 113 can also perform diode tests. It provides both auto and manual ranging capabilities. It's simple to use and delivers significant improvements over other utility multimeters. The Fluke 113 Utility Multimeter features added measurement functions, backlight and a much larger display that's easier to view.

In addition, because user safety is a central concern, the Fluke 113 Utility Multimeter conforms with the latest safety standards. It meets Measurement Category CAT III 600 V and CAT IV 300 V standards.

Convenience features of this electrical test tool include an integral holster with probe holders for easy storage. A large backlit display allows for easy visibility in low-lit areas. The optional ToolPak magnetic hanger allows the user to suspend the tool from steel surfaces for hands-free convenience. The Fluke 113 Utility Meter comes complete with TL75 test leads, one 9 V battery and a printed users manual.
