Safety Information
For Product safety information, see the printed 110/113/114/115/117 Safety Information included with the
Product or located on the Fluke website.
Unsafe Voltage
To alert you to the presence of a potentially hazardous voltage, the Z symbol is displayed when the Meter
measures a voltage ≥30 V or a voltage overload (OL) condition. When making frequency measurements >1 kHz,
the Z symbol is unspecified.
Test Lead Alert
XW Warning
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, LEAd is briefly displayed and an audible
beep sounds when you move the rotary switch to or from any A (Amps) position.

Making Basic Measurements
When connecting the test leads to the circuit or device, connect the common (COM) test lead before connecting
the live lead; when removing the test leads, remove the live lead before removing the common test lead.
XW Warning
To avoid electric shock, injury, or damage to the Meter, disconnect circuit power and discharge
all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
Measuring Resistance
113110, 114, 115, 117
Testing for Continuity
Use the continuity function as a fast, convenient method to check for opens and shorts. For maximum
accuracy in making resistance measurements, use the Meter’s resistance (e) function.

Using Auto Volts Selection (114, 117)
With the function switch in the x position, the Meter automatically selects a dc or ac voltage measurement
based on the input applied between the V or + and COM jacks.
This function also sets the Meter’s input impedance to approximately 3 kΩ to reduce the possibility of false
readings due to ghost voltages.
Measuring AC and DC Millivolts (110, 114, 115, 117)
With the function switch in the l position, the Meter measures ac plus dc millivolts. Press g to set the

Measuring AC or DC Current (115, 117)
XW Warning
To avoid personal injury or damage to the Meter:
•Never attempt to make an in-circuit current measurement when the open-circuit potential to
earth is >600 V.
•Check the Meter's fuse before testing. See Testing the Fuse (115, 117).
•Use the proper terminals, switch position, and range for your measurement.
•Never place the probes in parallel with a circuit or component when the leads are plugged into
the A (Amps) terminals.
To measure current:
1. Turn circuit power off.
2. Break the circuit
3. Insert the Meter in series with the circuit, and then turn circuit power on.

Measuring Current above 10 Amps (110, 114, 115, 117)
The millivolt and voltage function of the Meter can be used with an optional mV/A output Current Probe to
measure currents that exceed the rating of the Meter. Make sure the Meter has the correct function selected, AC
or DC, for your current probe. Refer to a Fluke catalog or contact your local Fluke representative for compatible
current clamps.

Detecting AC Voltage Presence (117)
To detect the presence of ac voltage, place the top of the Meter close to a conductor. The Meter gives an audible
as well as visual indication when voltage is detected. The sensitivity settings are:
•Lo: use on flush mounted wall sockets, power strips, flush mounted industrial outlets and various power
cords.
•Hi: for ac voltage detection on other styles of recessed power connectors or sockets where the actual ac
voltage is recessed within the connector itself.
The VoltAlert detector works in bare wire applications with voltages as low as 24 V in the Hi setting.
XW Warning
If there is no indication, voltage could still be present. Do not rely on the VoltAlert detector with
shielded wire. Operation may be effected by differences in socket design, insulation thickness
and type.

Making Low Impedance Capacitance Measurements (115, 117)
For making capacitance measurements on cables with ghost voltage:
1. Hold q as you turn on the Meter to enable the low-input impedance Capacitance mode.
2. Wait until
In this mode, capacitance measurements will have a lower accuracy and lower dynamic range.
This setting is not saved when the Meter is turned off or goes into sleep mode.

Using the Bargraph
The bar graph is like the needle on an analog meter. It has an overload indicator ( ) to the right and a polarity
indicator (+) to the left.
Because the bar graph is much faster than the digital display, the bar graph is useful for making peak and null
adjustments.
The bar graph is disabled when measuring capacitance. In frequency, the bar graph and range annunciator
indicates the underlying voltage or current up to 1 kHz.
The number of segments indicates the measured value and is relative to the full-scale value of the selected
range.
In the 60 V range, for example (see below), the major divisions on the scale represent 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 V. An
input of -30 V turns on the negative sign and the segments up to the middle of the scale.

seated. Do not attempt to install the battery directly into the case.
6. Install and tighten battery door screw.
To open the case for fuse replacement:
1. Remove the test leads from the Meter.
2. Remove the Meter from its holster.
3. Remove two screws from the case bottom.
