Introduction
The Fluke 8808A Digital Multimeter (hereafter referred to as the Meter) is a 5-1/2 digit
dual-display multimeter designed for bench-top, field service, and system applications.
The multiple measurement functions, plus the RS-232 remote interface, make the Meter
an ideal candidate for precision manual measurements and use in automated systems. For
portability, the Meter includes a carrying handle that also serves as a bail for bench-top
operation.
Some features provided by the Meter are:
• A dual vacuum fluorescent display that allows two properties of an input signal to be
displayed at the same time (e.g., ac voltage in one display and frequency in the other)
• 5-1/2 digit resolution
• True-rms ac
• 2, 4 wire resistance or patented 2x4 wire resistance measurement technique
• 200 mV to 1000 Vdc range with 1 μV sensitivity
• 200 mV to 750 Vac rms with 1 μV sensitivity
• 200 Ω to 100 MΩ with 1 mΩ sensitivity
• 200 μA to 10 Adc with 1 nA sensitivity
• 20 mA to 10 Aac with 100 nA sensitivity
• Frequency measurements from 20 Hz to 1 MHz
• Continuity and diode test
• Measurement rates of 2.5, 20 and 100 samples/second (slow, medium and fast,
respectively)
• Front-panel setup key for single key access to saved setups
• A compare mode to determine if a measurement is within defined limits
• Remote operation via the RS-232 interface
• Closed-case calibration (no internal calibration adjustments)
Safety Information
This section addresses safety considerations and describes symbols that may appear on
the Meter or in the manual.
A Warning statement identifies conditions or practices that could result in injury or
death.
A Caution statement identifies conditions or practices that could result in damage to the
Meter or equipment to which it is connected.
XWWarning
To avoid electric shock, personal injury, or death, carefully read
the information in the “Safety Information” section, before
attempting to install, use or service the Meter.
