This unit
The Fluke 179 True RMS Digital Multimeter combines electrical measurement, temperature sensing, and diagnostic capability in a single instrument for industrial and utility troubleshooting. It delivers True RMS AC/DC voltage and current measurements alongside resistance, capacitance, frequency, continuity, and diode testing. The integrated thermometer eliminates the need for a separate probe, measuring temperature from −40 °C to +400 °C with ±(1.0% + 10) accuracy.

Fluke 179 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Fluke 179. Calibration covers DC voltage accuracy at all ranges, AC voltage (True RMS) accuracy at 50 Hz, 1 kHz, and 10 kHz, DC current accuracy, resistance accuracy at all decade ranges, frequency accuracy, and diode test voltage. Fluke 87V and 289 also include capacitance and temperature calibration.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Fluke 179 faults: blown input fuse, worn input jacks, display segment failure, relay contact wear on bench DMMs. Common faults include worn input jacks (banana socket contact wear on the mA and COM terminals), blown input fuses (especially the 440 mA HRC fuse), and display segment failures. Keithley 2000/2001/2002 bench DMMs commonly develop relay contact wear affecting resistance accuracy after extended service.
