New Tool Tuesday - Fluke 289
This week I finally fulfilled a dream I have had since I started electrical trade school well over a decade ago, bit the bullet and bought a Fluke 289 true RMS digital data logging multimeter.
The Fluke 289 is an industrial electrician’s dream come true. Its ability to data log allows the technician to observe intermittent issues without having to actually physically witness them. With the ability to record 15,000 events with TrendCapture, a technician only need to check recording data intermittently. In addition to data logging, the Fluke 289 come with an IR interface which allows you to add a variety of add-on tools to expand the tool into an extremely powerful troubleshooting tool.
True-RMS AC voltage and current accuracy
Basic DC accuracy: 0.025%
Current: 10A continuous (20A for 30s)
Selectable AC filter (smoothing mode)
Adjustable recording and auto hold thresholds
Size: 8.7″ (222mm) x 4″ (102mm) in x 2.4″ (60mm)
The main standout feature of the Fluke 289 is its exceptional data logger. It can store up to 15,000 recorded events and has TrendCapture capability so you can study graphs off site and when you want. There’s also a real-time clock for time stamping and data can be sent off to a smartphone or PC via Bluetooth.
The huge selling point for me was the meter’s accuracy, the ability to remotely transfer data to a phone via bluetooth with the optional ir3000fc bluetooth / ir interface, and the ability to datalog with the TrendCapture.
