Fluke 233 Brochure

Electrical and electro-mechanical equipment is

designed to function—not designed to provide a

comfortable, convenient work space for the electricians

and plant maintenance professionals who keep that equip-

ment up and running. The systems and devices you test and

maintain can be hard to see and reach, and put you danger-

ously close to lethal electrical and mechanical forces.

The solution—to place your digital multimeter where it’s needed
for testing, but view the test readings from where it’s convenient
and safe—was once impossible. But today you can work in two
places at once, using the innovative Fluke 233 Digital Multimeter
(DMM) with detachable wireless display. For details on the meter
and its capabilities see side bar on back.

Work in two

places at once?

With the new Fluke detachable-

display multimeter, it’s easy!

Work more productively

In today’s challenging economy it’s more crucial
than ever to keep facilities running, producing
and creating value. Unfortunately, personnel
resources available for maintenance and testing
may be limited by cutbacks, making a challeng­ing job even harder.

The Fluke 233 can enable one person to
complete a test that would have required two
people using ordinary test tools. For instance,
consider the dilemma when the test access point
is distant from a switch point that controls the
test circuit. Such a situation used to require one
technician to read the meter while another
person operated the switch.

With the Fluke 233, you can set up the meter
where it needs to be, then detach the wireless
display and take the display to the control point
and read the test results, even if the control point
is outside the test enclosure or in another room.
The detachable display is magnetic and has a
flat bottom, making it easy to place it in plain
sight.

Increase safety

The meter’s detachable display can also provide
important safety benefits. First, it enables you to
run tests and read results at a safe distance from
shock and arc flash hazards, moving machin­ery and other dangers. Just attach the meter to
the test circuit where required, then take the
detachable display to a safe location before ener­gizing the circuit or equipment.

Some test locations can be hard to reach with
DMM probes or clamps. With two test leads to
manipulate and a meter to read, you can quickly
run short of hands. When working close to
energized circuits, the result can be very dan­gerous. The detachable display of the Fluke 233

can make it possible to physically separate the
tasks of positioning your meter and reading test
results, so you can devote full attention to each
task—and reduce the hazards.

Even when hazards aren’t present, comfort
and convenience are important. Even when the
test location is hard to reach or in a dirty or noisy
environment, the Fluke 233 enables you to set
up your meter, then move to a comfortable posi­tion to view and record test data.

Complete tests in “impossible”
situations

Some test situations make testing with an or­dinary DMM impossible. But the Fluke 233 can
literally “see through” the barriers that caused
problems in the past. For instance, the Fluke
233’s wireless display makes it possible to see
test results even when the meter and test loca­tion are hidden behind an equipment enclosure.
You can see test readings when the test point is
across the room—or in the next room. And you
can take readings in areas where you can’t be
close to the active measurement point, like clean
rooms.

Bottom line? By giving you more control in
difficult test situations, the Fluke 233 remote
display multimeter expands your capabilities
and helps you work more productively, con­veniently and safely. It’s the new tool in your
toolbox.

Detachable wireless display is an industry rst

• The industry’s rst digital multimeter with a detachable

wireless display, Fluke 233 uses a wireless transmit­ter to awlessly send measurements to the detached
display. This unique feature can Improve safety and
increase productivity for today’s busy industrial and
commercial electricians and electronic technicians.

• By sliding the wireless display out of the meter body,

the user can place the display where it is most easily
seen—up to 10 meters (33 feet) from the point of mea­surement—while putting the meter where it needs to
be to contact circuits and take measurements.

• The low-power, 2.4 GHz ISM Band wireless signal re-

sists electromagnetic interference. The radio transmit­ter automatically turns on when the display is removed
from the meter and off when the display is reattached.

• The removable display is magnetic and has a at

bottom, so it can be conveniently mounted or placed
on a at surface where it can easily be seen. When the
display is attached, the Fluke 233 operates as a con­ventional multimeter.

• The Fluke 233 will measure up to 1000 V ac and dc and

up to 10 A. It features a 10,000 μF capacitance range,
measures frequencies to 50 kHz and captures min/
max and average readings automatically. It features a
6,000-count display and includes a built-in thermom­eter. The meter body is powered by three AA batteries;
the display has two AA batteries. Average battery life is
400 hours. An auto-off feature maximizes battery life.

• The Fluke 233 is safety rated for

use in CAT IV 600 V, CAT III
1000 V working environments.
