Fluke 87 TRUE RMS MULTIMETER - Measurement Functions and Controls

How to Use the Meter
7
OFF
Power to the meter is turned off.
K Volts ac
Autoranges to the 400 mV, 4V, 40V, 400V or 1000V
range.
L Volts dc
Autoranges to the 4V, 40V, 400V or 1000V range.
l Millivolts dc
Single 400 mV range.
ReE Resistance (Ω), conductance (1/Ω),
capacitance or continuity R testing.
Press BLUE button to toggle between the resistance
and capacitance function. (The response of the
display and the pushbuttons slows down in the
capacitance mode.)
Autoranges to the 400Ω, 4 kΩ, 40 kΩ, 400 kΩ, 4 MΩ,
or 40 MΩ resistance range.
In Manual Ranging mode, 40 nS conductance range
(equal to a 25-100,000 MΩ range) is selectable. (See
item 9.)
Autoranges to the 05.00 nF, .0500 µF, 0.500 µF, or
05.00 µF capacitance range.
When testing continuity, the beeper sounds if the
resistance falls below the typical values indicated in
Table 3.

L Diode Test
Measures forward voltage of semiconductor
junction(s) at approximately 0.5 mA test current.
Single 0-3V range.
