True-rms Multimeters 
Introduction 
The Fluke Model 115C, and Model 117C are battery-
powered, true-rms multimeters (hereafter "the Meter") 
with a 6000-count display and a bar graph. This manual 
applies to both models. All figures show the Model 
117C. 
These meters meet CAT III IEC 61010-1 2
nd
 Edition 
standards. The IEC 61010-1 2
nd
 Edition safety standard 
defines four measurement categories (CAT I to IV) 
based on the magnitude of danger from transient 
impulses. CAT III meters are designed to protect 
against transients in fixed-equipment installations at the 
distribution level.

Unsafe Voltage  
To alert you to the presence of a potentially 
hazardous voltage, the Y symbol is displayed when 
the Meter measures a voltage ≥ 30 V or a voltage 
overload (OL) condition. When making frequency 
measurements >1 kHz, the Y symbol is unspecified. 
Test Lead Alert 
XWWarning 
Personal injury or damage to the 
Meter can occur if you attempt to 
make a measurement with a lead in an 
incorrect terminal.  
To remind you to check that the test leads are in the 
correct terminals,
