3. Bedienungsanleitung

The Fluke 179 Multimeter offers a variety of measurement functions. Always select the correct function and range before making a measurement to ensure accuracy and safety.

3.1. Grundlegende Messungen

  • Bandtage (AC/DC): Turn the rotary switch to V~ (AC) or V- (DC). Connect the test leads in parallel with the circuit or component to be measured.
  • Stromstärke (Wechsel-/Gleichstrom): Turn the rotary switch to A~ (AC) or A- (DC) or mA/µA. Connect the test leads in series with the circuit. Ensure the correct input jack is used for the expected current level.
  • Widerstand (Ω): Turn the rotary switch to Ω. Connect the test leads across the component. Ensure the circuit is de-energized before measuring resistance.
  • Kontinuität: Turn the rotary switch to the continuity symbol (speaker icon). The meter will beep if a continuous path is detected.
  • Diodentest: Turn the rotary switch to the diode symbol. Connect the test leads across the diode to check its forward voltage fallen.

3.2. Erweiterte Funktionen

  • Manuelle und automatische Entfernungsmessung: The multimeter can automatically select the appropriate measurement range. For specific applications, manual ranging can be selected.
  • Anzeigesperre: Drücken Sie die HOLD-Taste, um den aktuellen Messwert auf dem Display einzufrieren.
  • Selbsthaltung: Automatically holds stable readings on the display.
  • Min/Max-Average Recording: Capture minimum, maximum, and average readings over a period, useful for monitoring fluctuating signals.
  • Frequency (Hz) and Capacitance (F) Measurements: Select the appropriate function on the rotary switch to measure frequency or capacitance.
  • Temperatur messung: Connect the Fluke 80BK-A Integrated Temperature Probe to the multimeter and select the temperature function to measure temperature.
