Key Features

• True-RMS AC and AC + DC Measurements: Provides accurate readings on non-linear signals, essential for modern electronics and variable frequency drives (VFDs).
• High-Resolution 50,000-Count Display: Offers enhanced measurement detail with a basic DC accuracy of 0.025%, crucial for sensitive applications.
• MIN/MAX/AVERAGE with Real-Time Clock: Records and time-stamps minimum, maximum, and average readings, facilitating the capture of intermittent issues and monitoring trends over time.
• Stand-Alone Data Logging: Features internal memory capable of logging up to 3 days of measurement changes, or up to 995-1000 measurements in stand-alone logging mode, allowing for unattended monitoring.
• Temperature Measurement Capability: Supports temperature readings in both Celsius and Fahrenheit using an optional K-type thermocouple, expanding its diagnostic utility.
• Fast MIN/MAX and Lifetime Warranty: Features a 250 µs Fast MIN/MAX mode for capturing rapid transients and comes with a limited lifetime warranty for long-term reliability.

Applications

The Fluke 189 is designed for a broad range of applications, including diagnosing complex vehicle electrical systems, troubleshooting industrial machinery, monitoring power distribution systems, and performing electronics repair and calibration. Its robust construction, rated CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V, ensures safety and durability in harsh working conditions. The ability to log data allows technicians to pinpoint elusive, intermittent problems in automotive wiring, control systems, HVAC, and industrial automation, even when not actively present. With optional FlukeView® Forms software, logged data can be further analyzed and documented on a PC, aiding in predictive maintenance and increasing productivity.
