Model 233 True-RMS Digital Multimeter by Fluke

First Fluke Multimeter with a Wireless Remote Detachable Display

 

Introduction

The 233 wireless remote DMM allows maintenance professionals to address an age-old problem - display positioning. It solves the problem of users who struggled with:

  • Twisting uncomfortably to read the display and keep the probes in place

  • Wishing for a third hand while taking a measurement

  • Running from one place to another to take a measurement

  • Needing a second person to read the display, while they are flipping the switch

  • Focusing on the display, while making sure the probes stay in place

These problems are now solved. The new Fluke 233 can be used for most common meter measurements and is especially suited for those situations where display viewing is challenging

Answers to Common Questions

Q. How far away can the display be used from the meter?
A. The wireless range is 30 feet, but it may be higher in certain situations or environments.
Q. Will I lose my reading if I remove the display while I’m taking a measurement?
A. No, you won’t. The display can be removed during a measurement reading without any reading interruptions.
Q. What happens if my co-worker and I both have this remote display meter and we accidentally get the displays mixed up?
A. A great thing about this meter is that it will automatically match itself to whatever display is put on it. All a user has to do is put on the display and then turn the meter on and off.
Q. Is there any way to help me locate a misplaced or lost display?
A. The beeper is located in the display module. To locate a misplaced display, you can either push the yellow shift button or place the meter base in the continuity function and while shorting the test leads together.
Q. How much extra am I paying for this technology?
A. The cost of the meter is $299.95, which makes it competitive with other mid-range meters.
Q. Who else makes a remote display meter?
A. No one else is making one.
Q. I work in a noisy environment. Will I have to worry about interference compromising the integrity of the reading?
A. No, the Fluke 233 Remote Display module is shielded, so noise won’t be a problem.
Q. Can I use this meter with the display attached to the multimeter?
A. Absolutely! The 233 functions with the display on or off the meter to optimize flexibility.
Q. I bet it has a short battery life because of the remote display.
A. No, it has a 400 hour battery life, which is similar to most multimeters.
