Fluke 233 Remote Display Multimeter

This meter is great.

Works great!

A great idea for a portable DMM. The remote display is very handy and removes the requirement for long BNC cables.

The Fluke 233 is a good meter for the intermediate user. It offers nice features but that has a major design flaw...

I love it.

This Fluke meter is the Cats Meow! Especialy like the ability tonuse it remotely without having to use alarms or lights.

I work at an Auto repair shop, and we use multimeters fairly often.. I can honestly tell you it is a good multimeter, flukes are all good, and it is expected of them, thats why they cost $300.. But this particular model we bought, keeps draining batteries, and causes them to leak, or just says Error on the screen.. So now every time we use it, we put the batteries in, after we finish we take them back out.. ridiculous - Very poor design for a fluke I would say.. And this is why I gave 1 star, because even though the idea of a detachable screen is awesome, what good does it do when it causes all this inconvenience? So now we just use the old style fluke we had and dont even mess with this one.. I would expect this tool to work properly after spending this kind of money...

This item was received in a timely fashion in excellent shape and packaging. I have been using it at work in a manufacturing/plating area and it has performed as advertised. It has made my job safer and easier. Thank you.

Excellent reliability and performance just as advertised. This particular fluke allows remote probing so that you can work with far junction boxes while calibrating on site.

I work as an HVACR mechanic and this meter has been great so far with a few minor flaws. Fast readings, built very tough to take beatings. Can be cleaned off fairly easy after venturing through a crawlspace. I was very enlightened by the remote display function which was the main reason why I purchased the meter. It works fine when in range but you cant go very far when detatching the display. I would love for the next model they come out with to have further range so that I could take readings at the outdoor A/C unit and read the display in an attic or something. The other issue I have is measuing low voltage (24volt) circuits. When reading voltage at a plug (such as one on a defrost board on a heat pump) it measures stray voltage, Im guessing because all the wiring is so close together. I once was testing a defrost cycle on a heat pump when I first received the meter and read 24 volts before the control board had went into defrost. The board is only supposed to read 24 volts when it goes into defrost, assuming that your not reading backfeed from the aux heat wire coming from the t-stat (its best to isolate the aux when testing). I double checked what I was reading with another fluke tester I have and had 0 volts. I talked to a service guy from Fluke and he explained that I need a stray voltage adapter to go in-line between the leads and the meter and stray voltage reading would be taken care of. Other than that, I also purchased the amp i410 clamp meter to go with the 233. It has worked great, no complaints there.
