The 117 True-RMS AC/DC Electrician’s Multimeter with Non-Contact Voltage Detection, which has the features and functions that professional electricians need to get the job done. This meter is ideal for demanding settings, like commercial buildings, hospitals and schools. Its compact design makes it easy to hold and use one-handed. Integrated VoltAlert Technology allows testing for non-contact voltage directly from the meter, which improves job efficiency. LoZ technology prevents false readings due to “ghost voltage” and helps accurately diagnose problems.
Rely on the 117 for everyday measurements – up to 600 volts AC or DC, 40 MΩ, diode tests and exceptionally fast continuity.
The IB117K also features IKST7 Insulated Hand Tools. These tools will always feel right, from the moment you first put them in your hand, you’re ready to go to work. These screwdrivers give you maximum torque and a comfortable grip that reduces fatigue, while the pliers offer a smooth, solid motion, without a need for break-in. Take everything that makes Fluke test tools great, and put that into insulated hand tools. That’s what you will have on your toolbelt.
Safety is critical when working with electricity. Follow the right procedures. Wear the proper clothes. Use eye and hearing protection. And make sure you use the right tools.
It is always best practice to work on deenergized equipment. But sometimes that is just not possible. Wiring changes made by someone else may provide an unplanned energy path to where you are working. You need to take every precaution you can. That means using high quality insulated hand tools.
Most hand tools have rubber or plastic on the handles. That’s not the same as offering protection from electric shock, and limiting the possibility of arc faults due to short circuits. That is what makes insulated tools different.
