This unit
The Fluke 87-5 CAL Industrial True-RMS Multimeter is a field instrument engineered for precise electrical measurements across demanding industrial applications. It delivers True-RMS AC voltage and current readings on non-linear signals, with a dual-level backlit display optimized for variable lighting and an integrated thermometer for temperature measurement. Factory calibrated to NIST standards with traceable certification, the 87-5 CAL rapidly isolates faults in motor drives, plant automation, power distribution systems, and electromechanical equipment.

Fluke 87-5 CAL — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Fluke 87-5 CAL. 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 87-5 CAL 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.
