Fluke 117 Digital Multimeter — Non-Contact Voltage Detection, True RMS, AutoV/LoZ

Overview

The Fluke 117 Electrician's Multimeter is built for demanding settings such as commercial buildings, hospitals, and schools. Its compact form slips into tool bags and tight panels, while a bright backlit display makes readings legible even in dim rooms. This meter emphasizes accuracy, speed, and safety without promising guaranteed results.

Smart sensing and safe testing

• VoltAlert non-contact voltage detection provides quick confirmation of live components without direct contact.
• AutoV automatically selects the proper AC or DC range, reducing guesswork across mixed circuits.
• Low impedance input helps prevent ghost voltage from skewing readings, especially on high impedance circuits.
• The large white LED backlight enhances visibility in dark panels and cramped spaces.
• True RMS measurements yield meaningful values on non-linear loads, improving interpretation in real-world wiring.

What you can measure

• Resistance, continuity, frequency, and capacitance with dependable precision.
• Min, Max, and Average readings to capture data over a test period.
• DC millivolts range with precise resolution up to 600.0 mV and 0.1 mV steps.

Performance and reliability

Designed for field use, the Fluke 117 tolerates a wide temperature range from -10°C to +50°C and provides long battery life. A compact, robust chassis makes it easy to carry between sites and work in confined spaces. Typical battery life reaches hundreds of hours, depending on backlight usage.

Why it fits on the job

The Fluke 117 supports fast, accurate checks, helping electricians move from task to task with confidence. It is designed for commercial environments and stands up to typical field conditions, from cramped panels to busy service calls. While results depend on various factors, the combination of features offers a versatile toolkit for everyday electrical diagnostics.
