The Fluke 1587 FC and 1577 Insulation Multimeters combine a
digital insulation tester with a full-featured, true-rms digital multimeter in a single compact, handheld unit, which provides maximum
versatility for both troubleshooting and preventative maintenance.
The Fluke 1587 FC Insulation Multimeter adds four powerful new
diagnostic functions through the Fluke Connect® Measurements
app:
• PI/DAR timed ratio tests with TrendIt
and contaminated insulation problems faster
• Memory storage through Fluke Connect eliminates writing down
results, reduces errors and saves data for historical tracking over
time
• Temperature Compensation through app for establishing accu-
rate baselines and relevant historical comparisons
• Historical tracking and trending of assets identifies degradation
over time, allows real-time decisions to be made in the field
with Fluke Connect® Assets (sold separately)

Electromagnetic compatibility
International IEC 61326-1: Portable Electromagnetic Environment; IEC 61326-2-2 CISPR 11:
Group 1, Class A
1000 V
0 % to 95 % @ 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F)
0 % to 75 % @ 30 °C to 40 °C (86 °F to 104 °F)
0 % to 40 % @ 40 °C to 55 °C (104 °F to 131 °F)
Group 1: Equipment has intentionally generated and/or uses conductively-coupled radio
frequency energy that is necessary for the internal function of the equipment itself.
Class A: Equipment is suitable for use in all establishments other than domestic and
those directly connected to a low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings
used for domestic purposes. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to conducted and radiated disturbances.
Emissions that exceed the levels required by CISPR 11 can occur when the equipment is
connected to a test object. The equipment may not meet the immunity requirements of
this standard when test leads and/or test probes are connected.
Korea (KCC)Class A Equipment (Industrial Broadcasting & Communication Equipment)
Class A: Equipment meets requirements for industrial electromagnetic wave equipment
and the seller or user should take notice of it. This equipment is intended for use in business environments and not to be used in homes.
USA (FCC)47 CFR 15 subpart B. This product is considered an exempt device per clause 15.103.
Battery lifeMeter use 1000 hours; Insulation test use: Meter can perform at least 1000 insulation
tests with fresh alkaline batteries at room temperature. These are standard tests of
1000 V into 1 MΩ with a duty cycle of 5 seconds on and 25 seconds off.
