With all of the functionality of a standard digital multimeter + exclusive HVAC modes, the Fluke 116 digital multimeter is specifically made for engineers who work in the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) industries. Unlike other models in the Fluke 110 series, the Fluke 116 includes exclusive functions such as a built-in thermometer for measuring temperature and a microamp mode designed for testing flame sensors. It can also test all standard electrical parameters, including resistance, continuity, frequency, capacitance and voltage.
The Fluke 116 is exactly what you'd expect from Fluke: rugged, reliable and highly accurate. It's true RMS, so it'll maintain its accuracy even when testing on irregular AC connections and built-in low input impedance ensures that ghost voltages don't have an effect on any of your readings.
When you're working in darkened conditions, you can use the Fluke 116's built-in large white LED backlit screen to see what you're doing. If you're needing to record results over a period of time, you can use the built-in maximum, minimum and average functions to gain a wide variety of readings. This digital multimeter is CAT III 600V safety rated and is supplied as standard with a 3 year warranty from Fluke.
In this video, Fluke's lead facility and HVAC specialist shows how to use the Fluke 116 in your HVAC work.
