Description:
This seminar is designed for maintenance personnel who work with electrical test
equipment. Fluke®'s 80 Series high performance meters will be used throughout the
seminar. The Fluke® 80 Series meters are one of the most common industrial digital
multimeters in the industry, with several million meters in use. In addition to
measuring AC and DC voltage and current, resistance and testing diodes, the 80 Series
meters include MIN/MAX/AVERAGE recording mode, relative mode, frequency/duty cycle
measurement and capacity measurement. All meter functions will be covered.
You will learn
- How to safely connect and use electrical test equipment.
- The meaning of symbols and abbreviations used on electrical test equipment.
- How to use a voltage tester, multimeter, clamp-on ammeter, megohmmeter, tachometer
and digital logic probe.
- How to test for opens, shorts and grounds.
- How to use special meter functions, such as the MIN/MAX, relative and hold mode
when troubleshooting.
- How to avoid making common measurement errors.
- How to read and use bar graph displays on DMMs.
- How to use meter attachments.
