This unit
The Fluke 179/EDA2 combines a True RMS digital multimeter with a deluxe accessory kit for field service, troubleshooting, and laboratory work. The Fluke 179 delivers precise measurements across DC/AC voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, and diode testing, plus integrated temperature measurement. Safety-rated to CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V with 8000V transient protection, the meter suits demanding industrial and commercial environments. SureGrip™ accessories and a protective carrying case complete the kit.

Fluke 179/EDA2 — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Fluke 179/EDA2. 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/EDA2 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.
