True RMS Digital Multimeter
The 87V MAX contains all the trusted features of the most popular digital multimeter used today, the Fluke 87V, and then some. From wet, dusty, or dark environments to long days, the 87V MAX was designed to help you finish the most on a work site. It features a unique function for accurate voltage and frequency measurements on variable frequency motor drives (VFDs) and other electrically noisy equipment; using True-RMS AC voltage and current for accurate measurements on non-linear signals.
For use in extreme environments
The Fluke 87V MAX True-RMS Digital Multimeter defines a new standard for operating in extreme conditions, with the features and accuracy to troubleshoot most electrical problems. The 87V MAX has an IP67 (waterproof and dustproof) rating, an extended operating temperature range of -15°C to +55°C (5°F to 131°F, -40°C for up to 20 minutes), and 95% humidity, and has been designed and tested to withstand a 4m (13 ft) drop. The Fluke 87V MAX True RMS Digital Multimeter is built to work in the toughest environments you might face.
The 87V MAX also has an industrial-strength outer shell and a removable holster that doubles as test lead storage and a test probe holder for one-handed operation.
