Introduction
The Fluke Model 114, Model 115, and Model 117 are
battery-powered, true-rms multimeters (hereafter "the
Meter") with a 6000-count display and a bar graph. This
manual applies to all three models. All figures show the
Model 117.
These meters meet CAT III IEC 61010-1 2
standards. The IEC 61010-1 2nd Edition safety standard
defines four measurement categories (CAT I to IV)
based on the magnitude of danger from transient
impulses. CAT III meters are designed to protect
against transients in fixed-equipment installations at the
distribution level.

Unsafe Voltage
To alert you to the presence of a potentially
hazardous voltage, the Y symbol is displayed when
the Meter measures a voltage ≥30 V or a voltage
overload (OL) condition. When making frequency
measurements >1 kHz, the Y symbol is unspecified.
Test Lead Alert
Personal injury or damage to the
Meter can occur if you attempt to
make a measurement with a lead in an
incorrect terminal.
To remind you to check that the test leads are in the
correct terminals,
audible beep sounds when you move the rotary
switch to

Safety Information
A "XWWarning" statement identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or death.
A "WCaution" statement identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Meter or the equipment under test.
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
• Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might
be impaired.
• Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating
properly.
• Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements.
• Verify the Meter's operation by measuring a known voltage. If in doubt, have the Meter
serviced.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on Meter, between terminals or
between any terminal and earth ground.
• Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose
a shock hazard.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing
resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
• When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
• Only use test leads that have the same voltage, category, and amperage ratings as the meter
and that have been approved by a safety agency.
• Remove test leads from Meter before opening the battery door or Meter case.

Safety Information
• Comply with local and national safety requirements when working in hazardous locations.
• Use proper protective equipment, as required by local or national authorities when working
in hazardous areas.
• Avoid working alone.
• Use only the replacement fuse specified or the protection may be impaired.
• Check the test leads for continuity before use. Do not use if the readings are high or noisy.
• Do not use the Auto Volts function to measure voltages in circuits that could be damaged by
this function’s low input impedance (≈3 kΩ)(114 and 117 only).
