Fluke 170 Series to 233 Upgrade
Fluke general
purpose multimeters.
The industry standard for precision,
ease-of-use, safety and reliability.
Fluke 175 True-rms
Multimeter
Fluke 177 True-rms
Multimeter with backlight
Move up to the Fluke 233.
Everything from the 170 Series, plus the cost savings and productivity
gains of a wireless remote display.
Fluke 233 Remote Display
True-rms Multimeter
The Fluke 233 Wireless Remote Display
Digital Multimeter with removable magnetic
display allows you to be 30 feet away from
the measurement point. Perfect for those
difficult measurements where display viewing
is challenging.
Now you can work in two
places at once. Or have
a single technician do a
job that used to take two
people.
Fluke 179 True-rms
Multimeter with backlight
and temperature
Connect the meter to
the test point, then take
the removable display
to the control panel.
View changing electrical
measurements in real time
as you operate the controls.
Place the removable
display where you can
see it and then connect
the meter where it is
most convenient. You can
now take measurements
in hard-to-reach places,
where machines or panels
are physically separated
from switches, or in user
prohibited areas such as
clean rooms or hazardous
areas.

Fluke. Keeping your world up and running.
Provides added flexibility in common measurement scenarios. Allows
you to place the removable display where you can see it and then put
the meter where it is convenient for you.
Same temperature measurement capabilit y as the 179. Built in
thermometer conveniently allows you to take temperature readings
without having to carry a separate instrument.
The Fluke 233 has larger display digits than the 170 Series and
unlike the 179 and 177 it has a bright white backlight for easier
reading in low-light env ironments.
The Fluke 233 has the same safety rating for use in 600 V CAT IV and
1000 V CAT III environments, as the 170 Series. Meaning it has been
engineered to withstand voltage spikes of 8 kilovolts and help protect
users against the hazards of arc flash.
The Fluke 233 includes CAT IV 600 V, CAT III 1000 V, 10 A rating;
slide-on insulated alligator clips; Type K thermocouple with standard
shrouded banana jack.
