This unit

The Fluke 87V-MAX is a True RMS digital multimeter engineered for industrial field service and troubleshooting in harsh environments. It delivers accurate measurements across AC/DC voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, frequency, and temperature - plus specialized VFD measurement capability for electrically noisy equipment. Built to survive extreme conditions with IP67 rating, 4 m drop protection, and CAT IV 600 V / CAT III 1000 V safety certification, this meter combines durability with precision measurement.

Fluke 87V-MAX — Repair & Calibration Service

Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Fluke 87V-MAX. 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 87V-MAX 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.
