Fluke | 233/a | Remote Display Digital Multimeter Kit

Specifications

The Fluke 233/a Remote Display Digital Multimeter Kit offers robust technical capabilities for diverse electrical measurement needs. It is safety rated for use in CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V working environments, providing protection in high-voltage, high-current systems. This digital multimeter measures AC and DC voltage up to 1000V and AC and DC current up to 10A (20A for 30 seconds). It features a 6,000-count display for clear readings. The device includes a 10,000 µF capacitance range and measures frequencies up to 50 kHz. Resistance measurements extend up to 40 M?. A built-in thermometer allows temperature readings from -40°C to +400°C without needing a separate instrument. The multimeter body uses three AA batteries, and the display uses two AA batteries, offering an approximate battery life of 400 hours. Its dimensions are 7.59 x 3.66 x 2.08 inches, with a weight of 3.55 lbs.

Key Features

The Fluke 233/a Remote Display Digital Multimeter Kit integrates advanced features for flexible and reliable electrical testing. Its defining feature is the detachable wireless display, which can be carried up to 10 meters (33 feet) away from the meter body. This low-power 2.4 GHz ISM Band wireless technology is designed to resist electromagnetic interference. The display has a magnetic back and flat bottom, enabling convenient mounting or placement on various surfaces. When the display is reattached, the unit functions as a conventional digital multimeter, and the radio transmitter automatically turns off to conserve battery life. This True-RMS multimeter provides accurate AC voltage and current measurements on non-linear signals. It includes Min/Max/Average recording to automatically capture variations in readings. Additionally, it offers resistance, continuity, and diode test functions. The display is easy to read, featuring large digits and a bright backlight.

Applications

The Fluke 233/a Remote Display Digital Multimeter Kit is suitable for a wide range of professional electrical and automotive diagnostic tasks. It is particularly useful for electrical troubleshooting in industrial, commercial, and residential environments. Automotive technicians utilize this kit for diagnostics on both conventional and hybrid vehicles, especially given its safety ratings for high-voltage systems. The remote display capability is beneficial for testing in hazardous areas, hard-to-reach locations, or dirty and noisy environments, such as electrical panels, control systems, and machinery. Users can safely view under-hood measurements on moving vehicles or perform tests where the measurement point is separated from controls. It is also applicable in clean rooms or areas with restricted access where maintaining distance from the measurement point is necessary.

Benefits

The Fluke 233/a Remote Display Digital Multimeter Kit delivers significant advantages by enhancing safety, improving efficiency, and increasing versatility in measurement tasks. Users can maintain a safe distance from live circuits, arc flash hazards, and moving machinery by placing the meter in the test location and viewing readings remotely. This separation allows technicians to focus on probe placement, augmenting overall safety. The ability to view the display up to 10 meters away increases productivity, enabling a single technician to take measurements that might otherwise require two people or awkward positioning. It eliminates the need to hold both the meter and test leads simultaneously, streamlining workflows. The kit’s comprehensive measurement functions and True-RMS accuracy provide reliable data for a broad spectrum of electrical applications. The built-in thermometer and included accessories, such as test leads, alligator clips, and a magnetic hanging strap, offer a complete solution for various diagnostic scenarios.
