How to Use a Digital Multimeter w/ Fluke 117

I tested all the functions in this Fluke 117 digital multimeter including some power-on functions that are not in older models. Flukes are great multimeters, built like a tank, can take a beating, and I've had an older one that is over 15 years old!

Matching case here: amzn.to/3NRzV4n
Don’t beat around the bush, beat the bush!
I enjoy a good discussion but I like getting to the point even more.

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!

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

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Glad it helped

[@tastemakerguidie]

measuring superior conduction is a innovative dervice

[@ShakirAuto067]

Nice 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 😊

Good working bro 💯

[@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.

[@ShakirAuto067]

Nice bro 😊❤

[@noumman]

a very useful video

[@ShakirAuto067]

Nice bro 😊

Video ❤. But how masermant bandwedth ?

[@Jellyballs]

great video!!

[@ShakirAuto067]

Nice bro 😊

[@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 😊

[@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 😊❤

[@user-po8gx3rc1r]

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

[@ShakirAuto067]

Good bro

[@661godislove7]

Can you test continuity?

[@BeatTheBushDIY]

Yes

[@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 ❤

[@milzex2082]

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

[@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?

[@tastemakerguidie]

your on stage i'm in the trenches {{wdtm}}

[@ShakirAuto067]

Nice 😊

[@amtrakfan5511]

Designing is probably done with software or a simulation.

My Asian wife likes your screen name. 😂

[@decibellone696]

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

[@ShakirAuto067]

Op bro

[@tastemakerguidie]

fluke can't type that

[@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 😊❤
