“I could really use this meter when I am checking the tem-
perature on the roof and panel display downstairs. I could
stick the probe into the exhaust stack on the roof, and take
the display downstairs to the main control panel. I can then
adjust temperature and see the output at the stack. Having
the 233 would make it unnecessary to have two people, one
on the roof and one downstairs, plus two radios to communi-
cate back and forth.” P.J., South Carolina
“I do work on large scale airflow test setups where adjust-
ments on one end of the setup affect voltage/current output
on circuits on the far end. Instead of working in pairs, one
adjusting flow valves etc. and the other guy yelling out the
readings, having the 233 would be great. Instead of having
to get another person on deck to help, I could make adjust-
ments while watching the results in real time. Another
benefit is having the results there immediately and not
having to wait for a yell, which would help the test accuracy.
To win one would be great, but I’ll get one regardless!”

“As a buildings automation systems specialist my job is to
set up buildings control systems from start to finish. I would
definitely use the Fluke 233 with start-ups of new VAC
under-floor and above-ceiling HVAC systems. The days of
lying on your stomach, twisting your neck and sticking your
head under a false floor would be over. The same goes for
standing on you toes on an 8-foot ladder, stretching your
body out and nearly tipping the ladder over and holding the
false ceiling grid and reaching your arm out with a flashlight
to read the display on your meter.” W.H., South Dakota
