True-rms Multimeters

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.

Edition

Unsafe Voltage

To alert you to the presence of a potentially
hazardous volt
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,

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).

Making Basic Measurements

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. There
are two sensitivity settings. The “Lo” setting can be used
on flush mounted wall sockets, power strips, flush
mounted industrial outlets and various power cords. The
“Hi” setting allows 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.

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 only)

For making capacitance measurements on cables with
ghost voltage, hold qwhile turning on the Meter to
switch the Meter into LoZ, (low input impedance)
Capacitance mode. 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.

Maintenance

Maintenance

Maintenance of the Meter consists of battery and fuse
replacement, as well as case cleaning.

Replacing the Battery and Fuse

To avoid shock, injury, or damage to
the Meter:

• Remove test leads from the Meter

before opening the case or battery door.

• Use ONLY a fuse with the amperage,

interrupt voltage, and speed ratings
specified.

To remove the battery door for battery replacement:

1. Remove the test leads from the Meter

2. Remove the battery door screw.

3. Use the finger recess to lift the door slightly.

4. Lift the door straight up to separate it from the case.

The battery fits inside the battery door, which is then
inserted into the case, bottom edge first, until it is fully
seated. Do not attempt to install the battery directly into the
case.

5. Install and tighten battery door screw.

2. Remove the Meter from its holster.

3. Remove two screws from the case bottom.

4. Separate the case bottom from the case top.

5. Remove the fuse from its holder and replace it with an
11 A, 1000 V, FAST fuse having a minimum interrupt
rating of 17,000 A. Use only Fluke PN 803293.

6. To re-assemble the Meter, first attach the case bottom
to the case top, then install the two screws. Finally,
insert the Meter into its holster.

Cleaning

Wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do
not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents to clean
the case or lens/window. Dirt or moisture in the terminals

can affect readings.

Notes:
[1] All ac ranges except Auto-V LoZ are specified from 1 % to 100 % of range. Auto-V LoZ is specified from 0.0 V.

Because inputs below 1 % of range are not specified, it is normal for this and other true-rms meters to display non­zero readings when the test leads are disconnected from a circuit or are shorted together. For volts, crest factor of
≤3 at 4000 counts, decreasing linearly to 1.5 at full scale. For amps, crest factor of ≤3. AC volts is ac-coupled. Auto­V LoZ, AC mV, and AC amps are dc-coupled.

[2] AC Volts Hz is ac-coupled and specified from 5 Hz to 50 kHz. AC Amps Hz is dc-coupled and specified from 45 Hz

to 5 kHz.
