“I would use the Fluke 233 gathering readings on the varia-
tion of current consumption of our telecom equipment across
its temperature range in a thermal chamber. Due to the
remote read-out, I should be able to place the test unit,
multimeter base and a current probe inside the chamber
while gathering readings outside of the chamber. I can then
vary the environmental temperature and measure the varia-
tion in the current going to the amplification section of the
wireless equipment.” M.N., Minnesota
“I can easily imagine using the Fluke 233 at a broadcast
transmitter site. There are instances when you need to mea-
sure a parameter inside the box. Some will defeat the door
safety interlocks to make the measurements. They will place
the probes on a circuit in the back, run around to the front of
the transmitter to energize the circuit, then run back to see
the reading, run to the front to make adjustments, run back
to the rear to check the readings, etc. It would be great to be
able to place the probes, close the rear door and then safely
take the readings while energizing and adjusting the circuit
from the front, keeping the door safety interlocks in place.”

“The most major problem that we face when we install a
device network for the assembly line is the voltage drop
that happens in a node which causes the break in the
communication with the devices that connected to it and
halt the communication with all the nodes that exceed that
node. To solve this problem we usually disconnect all the
communication nodes and reconnect them one by one while
we measure the DC power in the control panel and when
we notice a voltage drop by 10% we add a power supply.
With the new Fluke 233 it will make the job much easier and
there is no need to keep going back and forth to and from the
control panel to check the DC power, so we save time and
effort to solve the problem.” A.E., Michigan
