How to Use a Digital Multimeter w/ Fluke 117

[@Larrye123]

I had to take an electronics class for my hvac certification. It was online because of Covi. It was not set up for online. We literally had to watch home made KZbin videos about different electronic subjects. Often 12 to 17 per chapter. MANY videos were made by people who had more knowledge of film editing than electronics. I have the Fluke 116 hvac meter but this meter is very similar. I wish I would have had this video for class. The guy is organized, quick, competent. Thank you for the video!

Good bro

[@timmark4190]

Great review. Very precise. No dragging with nonsense and all information

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

I appreciate that!

[@ShakirAuto067]

Good bro 😊

[@KiyaWarrior]

Wow, this video was amazing for a noob like myself. Thanks dude. Just picked one up for $150 as well.

[@ShakirAuto067]

Good bro 😊

Very good video! I just bought a Fluke 117 and had to refamiliarize myself with a multimeter. Thx again.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Glad it helped

[@ShakirAuto067]

Good bro 😊

[@xrafter]

I have seen you insert the red lead before the black lead. in the manual it said to insert the COM lead before the live one, and remove it after the live.

[@ShakirAuto067]

Nice bro 😊

[@5569johnny]

Thank you i did buy a 117 because you made the tutorial very well Explained

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Thank you!

Thank you for posting. You answered my question in the first 2 ninutes.

You are welcome!

To the point. Thanks for making this easy. Well done 👍

[@williamlewis4379]

Thanks for doing a review on the Fluke 117. I like the meter but don't care for the test leads that come with them. They are way too stiff to work with. Do you have a suggestion for better test leads? Thanks

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

The only test leads I purchased are Pomona ones long ago, I’m sure they have better and/or more flexible ones now.

[@Belekas35]

The Volt Alert function with the com wire touching the phasin cable will show that there is a phase? Is it possible to determine which wire is the phase?

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

I think you are asking if the Volt Alert can tell the difference between Neutral and Line. I suppose you can do a test with known wires and put it in proximity of each to see if there is a difference in alert sounds.

Nice bro 😊❤

Great review, very informative. Thank you!

what a name: BeatTheBush .... 😊

[@ramongonzalez2909]

Great video!, what setting do you use to check a hybrid battery? Like the one on a Prius. Thank you

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

You use DC voltage to measure the 12V car battery and make sure leads on connected to the voltage mode instead of current or it'll blow the fuse. It is okay to reverse it as it'll just measure a negative voltage.

[@ShakirAuto067]

Good bro 😊❤

[@jy5422]

I’m not an electric person so sorry if this is a dumb question… I watched a video to test a part the person put it on 20,000 olm setting and got 1.75. What would this be on this meter? Thought it would let me select with the buttons. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Cheaper meters requires you to set a setting for reading different ranges of resistance (ohms). This one will auto range and change it based on what you measure. From mega ohms down to 0.1 ohms.

[@JojoCruzSolano]

sir what is the difference of Fluke 117C to Fluke 117 . what is { C} means.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

One difference is 117 has a 40MOhm+ accuracy of 1.5%+2. 117C has a 5% + 2. It's a small difference but I would guess they changed it to use a different internal part for various reasons. However, they cannot change the part and call the product the same thing, hence a 'C' signifier. I've never needed to measure something so high in practice so it might not matter to most people.

[@ShakirAuto067]

Nice bro 😊

[@brandonstill7229]

Where did you get the case for your 117 ? Thanks

Video ❤. But how masermant bandwedth ?

[@ThulaniMan]

Excellent work

[@serg.r4860]

Right to the point. Great video

Does it beeping when the diode is connected in the forward direction?

Good working bro 💯

[@noumman]

a very useful video

[@ShakirAuto067]

Nice bro 😊

[@661godislove7]

Can you test continuity?

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Yes

[@ShakirAuto067]

Good bro 💯

[@firasgh871]

Fluke 117c vs uni-trennd ut117c ????

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

The product looks very similar on the surface, I wonder if Uni-trend want to send me one to do this comparison?

[@milzex2082]

0.9% accuracy is pretty high considering that the cheaper 15b or 17b has 0.5% accuracy

[@ShakirAuto067]

Good bro ❤😊

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

you can get a false reading by using your fingers cause we conduct electricity. get the gator clips. just saying. have a good day.

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Depends if the thing you are measuring is close in capacitance or resistance to when you touch the leads.

[@ShakirAuto067]

Nice ❤

My Asian wife likes your screen name. 😂

Designing is probably done with software or a simulation.

[@decibellone696]

there are only 2 Fluke meters the 117 and the 87v... the rest is fluff, or oddly spacifac.

[@ShakirAuto067]

Op bro

[@Robert-ug5hx]

To bad it doesnt have tempature on it, otherwise it is a good general purpose meter I also have the fluke 87v max

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Great for 'most' cases, less temp.

[@ShakirAuto067]

Good bro 😊❤

[@tastemakerguidie]

fluke can't type that
