Fluke FLUKE-179-2/IMSK Digital Multimeter 1000V

Product Description

The FLUKE FLUKE-179-2/IMSK is a digital multimeter rated for CAT III and CAT IV environments, built for trade professionals who need accurate, dependable measurements across a wide range of electrical and HVAC service tasks. It measures DC voltage up to 1,000 volts, resistance up to 50 megohms, capacitance up to 10,000 microfarads, frequency, current, and temperature from -40 to 752 degrees F. The unit weighs 1.38 pounds and ships as a single unit. Licensed electricians, HVAC technicians, and instrumentation pros reach for this meter when working on commercial and industrial circuits where safety ratings matter.

This multimeter suits residential and commercial electrical service, HVAC system diagnostics, motor circuit testing, and general instrumentation work. Its CAT III and CAT IV safety ratings make it appropriate for use on distribution panels, service entrance equipment, and outdoor utility-connected circuits. The broad temperature measurement range of -40 to 752 degrees F extends its usefulness to HVAC technicians checking heat exchanger temperatures, economizer controls, and refrigeration system diagnostics. A single technician can carry and operate it without additional equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and use should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed trade professional familiar with NFPA 70 (NEC) safety practices. Always de-energize and verify circuits are dead with a known-good tester before making contact with conductors. When measuring live circuits, use only the leads and probe accessories rated for the CAT level of the circuit being tested. Do not exceed the rated input voltage of 1,000 VDC.
