INTRODUCTION
The Fluke 27/FM Multimeter (hereinafter, also referred to as the "DMM" or
"meter") is a true rms, digital multimeter that provides unsurpassed
performance and operator safety in the most demanding working conditions. It
meets MIL-T-28800 Type II, Class 2, Style A specifications for shock,
vibration, humidity, and water resistance. The meter is powered by a 9V
battery with a life of 750 hours.
The Fluke 27/FM combines the precision of a digital meter with the speed and
versatility of an analog bar graph. Its 3200-count, digital display offers
better resolution than a conventional 3-1/2 digit, 2000-count display.
The 80K-6 High Voltage Probe that is shipped with the meter extends the
voltage measurement capability of the meter to 6000V. A 1000:1 voltage
