True-rms Electronics Logging Multimeter with TrendCapture - Fluke

The Fluke 287 True-rms Electronics Logging Multimeter with TrendCapture is a robust, professional-grade diagnostic instrument designed for technicians facing complex electrical challenges in automotive, industrial, and electronics environments. This advanced multimeter provides precise, logged data and on-screen graphical trends, enabling comprehensive troubleshooting and long-term system monitoring without requiring a PC in the field. It delivers enhanced accuracy and convenience, offering significant problem-solving power for demanding applications.

Key Features

• True-RMS Accuracy: Delivers accurate AC voltage and current readings on non-linear loads, crucial for diagnosing modern vehicles equipped with ECUs, sensors, inverters, and industrial variable-speed drives.
• Integrated Data Logging: Automatically records measurements over time, storing up to 15,000 recorded events to help capture intermittent faults, voltage drops, and thermal drift without constant supervision. The real-time clock automatically timestamps saved readings for easier analysis.
• TrendCapture Display: Graphically presents logged data directly on its large, 50,000-count, 1/4 VGA backlit screen, allowing for immediate identification of patterns and anomalies with zoom capabilities up to 14 times. This eliminates the immediate need to download data to a PC to detect trends.
• Advanced Measurement Functions: Supports a broad spectrum of diagnostics, including millivolts, frequency, resistance (up to 500 M?), capacitance (up to 100 mF), continuity, and diode testing, for thorough analysis of circuits, control systems, and modules. It can measure up to 1000V AC/DC and 10A AC/DC.
• Rugged Fluke Build: Constructed for the rigors of daily professional use, ensuring reliable performance and durability in demanding shop, plant, and field service environments.

Applications

The Fluke 287 serves as an indispensable tool for automotive electrical diagnostics across passenger vehicles, light trucks, heavy-duty trucks, buses, and off-road equipment. Technicians can efficiently trace parasitic draws, validate charging and starting system performance, analyze sensor and actuator signals, and verify control module power and ground circuits. It is equally suitable for industrial and electronics professionals monitoring process control loops and power electronics over extended periods, making it ideal for preventive maintenance by revealing developing issues before they lead to critical downtime.
