The Fluke 8808A 5 1/2-digit Digital Multimeter, 120V has a broad range of functions, measuring volts, ohms and amps with a basic V DC accuracy of 0.01%. It is remarkably easy to use, even by novice operators.

Measure Sensitive Leakage Current

Typical multimeters use a shunt method to measure current, creating a measurement burden voltage that increases the error in low current measurements. This makes it difficult, if not impossible, to perform tasks such as determining the true leakage current on a battery-powered device while it is powered down, or measuring small currents in sensitive circuits. The Fluke 8808A is the only multimeter in its class to use a low-impedance operational amplifier and current-to-voltage conversion technique to eliminate the burden voltage and measure sensitive low currents. In this special mode, the Fluke 8808 A Digital Benchmeter can accurately measure small currents with a resolution of up to 100 nA.

Six setup buttons on the 8808A front panel operate like car radio station presets, eliminating the need to follow complex work instruction sheets. Simply set up the meter for a common measurement and save it by pressing a short series of buttons - now each time you perform that same measurement, you simply press the appropriate setup key. Operators no longer need to press multiple buttons to set up a measurement function and range, test limits, or enter other parameters to make a measurement.

This 5 1/2-digit multimeter dependably performs the most common measurements required for today's applications. Whether you are performing functional tests or making critical measurements on test points, using the limit compare mode with pass/fail indicators eliminates production mistakes, especially those where results are "on the edge."

The 8808A display has built-in enunciators that clearly show the operator whether a test passes or fails. The pass/fail indicators take the guesswork out of testing.
