The CAT III 1500 V/CAT IV 1000 V True-RMS Fluke 283 FC Digital Multimeter sets the new standard for technicians in DC environments up to 1500 V. Whether you’re working with a utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) array, wind power, an electric railway, or a data center, the Fluke 283 FC has been engineered to enhance safety and increase productivity while giving you accurate, reliable, and repeatable results.

On large-scale PV projects where you’re taking repetitive measurements and expect consistent results, the user-defined limit gauge becomes a vital time-saving tool. The adjustable limit gauge can trigger audio and visual indications whenever a measurement falls outside your expected range. This saves you time letting you quickly evaluate measurement results, increasing your confidence in the system’s performance, and helping to identify potential issues that need to be addressed.

With the dedicated limit gauge button, you can easily turn the limit gauge warnings on and off, set up new measurement parameters, or select from previously used parameter profiles. This customization streamlines troubleshooting, allowing you to quickly identify measurement deviations or errors, and helps maintain optimum solar installation performance.

The size and location of utility-scale solar sites can present unique challenges whether they’re logistical, environmental, or testing related. Because of that, you want to have confidence that your meter is fully functional, capturing the right data every time so you don’t have to do the same job twice.

The 283 FC features a unique integrated multimeter readiness self-check, that ensures your meter is in proper working order before you take your next reading. This quick self-check is an additional readiness test that gives you valuable insight to the status of your meter’s calibration, battery life availability, test lead functionality, and AC/DC voltage measurement functionality so you can be confident that your meter is ready to work when you are.

The 283 FC offers convenient logging and saving features that set it apart from other digital multimeters. With a built-in real-time clock, each measurement can be time- and date-stamped for accurate recordkeeping. The multimeter has internal memory to save and log measurements, which can then be easily transferred to Fluke Connect for further analysis. Additionally, you have the flexibility to customize logging durations and intervals, ensuring the logging process matches the specific needs of the system you are testing.

Fluke Connect compatibility provides convenient features to enhance your troubleshooting experience. As part of the Fluke Connect family, the 283 FC can transmit measurements to a smartphone or tablet for later, detailed analysis. No need to write down the results. Trend and monitor measurements live on your phone screen and upload those measurements to the cloud. Combine measurement data from multiple Fluke Connect test tools to create and share reports from the job site via email and collaborate in real time with other colleagues with ShareLive video calls or email. The table view feature organizes measurements, notes, and images in a clear and efficient manner, making it easier to reference data, identify issues, and generate reports for customers. Fluke Connect with Fluke Cloud Storage streamlines your workflow and ensures accurate data storage and organization.
