How to use your Fluke 88 V | Dave Hobbs | Tech Tip

[@samuelw.3992]

Fluke meters rock. I have the really basic 60.00 in my truck, an was using a 115 in my shop, after much thought an research I ordered the 88, boy it hurt the wallet but now that I actually know way more about electrical diagnosing etc, it’s an amazing tool that I truly appreciate. Thanks for this video. I knew a lot but you helped me understand even more.

I have just bought this meter. Im an auto electrician/mechanic. Was thinking about buying this for a month or so and well so glad I did. Also in the online instruction manual I don't think it has everything detailed that this guy said. If it does then its just because its a manual I missed it. Much prefer videos on how to use my new tools. So anyway whilst he's talking and showing the functions I have been pausing the video and doing the stuff on my 88v. Awesome, really is a great meter. Went out to my van and did an A/C test on the alternator and a min max in dc volts for starting it. So easy and just the sort of quality I need to enhance my business approach towards customers. If I can diagnose bad alternators it makes me more money, and also on the min max of the battery when cranking it shows the health of the battery too. Highly recommend this meter really I do.

thank you for the great video. I recently purchased my 88 V and expected it to come with instructions or a comprehensive owners manual but I was disappointed to find out it only came with a quick guide that is very cryptic. This is far more helpful.

This is a superb video! I'll be buying an 88v soon and this video was the perfect introduction (and then some)!

How good is the warranty? I’ve had one for 10 years and it needs some care

Does this meter measure Dwell?

[@DrivelineMaster]

Hi Dave, I was hoping to find out what the "ms" function that is located by pressing the Hz/% button does or where it would be used. Can you shed some light on this function?

[@juergenscholl2843]

The ms stands for miliseconds. In this mode the meter will read the pulse-width of a signal, as the on-time of a fuel injector for example. It's a direct time measurement. You always can download the user manual from the fluke website. www.myflukestore.com/pdfs/cache/www.myflukestore.com/fluke/multimeter/88_5/manual/fluke_88_5_multimeter_manual.pdf
