Fluke 289 True-RMS Logging Multimeter with TrendCapture

by Fluke

Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The fluke 289 true-rms logging multimeter with trendcapture is the ultimate handheld tool for demanding applications that require high-precision. It quickly documents design performance and graphically displays what happened. Saving measurements allows you to name and recall measurements made in the field, and it has a real time clock for automatic time stamping of saved readings. Its' unique logging and graphing capabilities mean you no longer need to download logged readings to a PC to detect a trend, and it stores up to 15,000 recorded events. Weighing less than two pounds, the fluke 289 packs more accuracy and convenience into a handheld multimeter than ever before, putting more problem solving power in your hands. The low impedance voltage function prevents false readings due to ghost voltage. The true-rms ac voltage and current accurately measures complex signals or non-linear loads. The selectable ac filter (smoothing mode) helps display a steadier reading when the input signal is changing rapidly or is noisy. The adjustable recording and auto hold thresholds specify a percentage change in the readings that begins a new event. The 289 features a large 50,000 count, 1/4 VGA display with a white backlight, that allows multiple sets of measurement information to be simultaneously displayed at the same time. The multimeter runs about 100 hours, 200 hours in logging mode, on 6 aa alkaline batteries, or neda 15a IEC lr6. The 289 is multi-lingual interfaced and includes the following: a manual, 6 aa batteries, a set of tl71 silicone test leads, a probe holder, and two ac72 alligator clips. An optional accessory is the 80bk-a integrated DMM temperature probe with a measurement range up to 260-degrees Celsius. The fluke 289 true-rms logging multimeter is designed to meet csa, ul, tuv, ce agency approvals, and is cat iii 1000 v/cat iv 600 v safety rated. The fluke 289 true-rms logging multimeter with trendcapture is sold one item per package.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Nice Logging Meter, June 25, 2008

Awesome meter if you want to sample at rates as fast as 1 sample per second (but that's the limit at the low end). With an optional current probe you can read amps as well. It comes with a thermocouple to measure temp. The software is pretty good and you can dump the data to a csv file. It has reports and they are ok. My R61E thinkpad laptop will not read the cd's but I faked it out by mapping it to another DVD on another pc on my network and installed it from there. Worked fine. The only thing that's missing (of course) is power measurements. For that you gotta cough up a whole lot more moola to get the vector multiplier function (IxV) found in the 43B power quality meter. I'm sure itching for one of those too but the bucks are holding me back right now. The 289 sips batteries and has no capability to be powered from 120vac though it can run about a week straight on the 6 AA batteries that powers it. Snag a 44 pack of double A's from a retailer on the cheap and your set for a while. I wish the 43B could sip batteries but it's only good for 4-6 hrs on batteries. I guess the 43B sucks the heavy juice to do all the great stuff it does. I've worked as an industrial electrician for 10 years and a power systems electrical engineer for the past 27 years (professional engineering registration in CA and WA states)(yep I'm a gray hair) and I've worked in a variety of industrial, electronic and power environments and have used a pile of electrical test equipment. All in all I'm very happy I bought this meter and after having it now for about 4 weeks I must say I'd run out and buy it again tomorrow in a heartbeat. So you know, I'm not employed by Fluke and do not own any of their stock. They just did this right and I'm giving them the kudos they deserve for this great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great meter, however the kit is a better value, April 6, 2010

I bought this thinking it came with the temperature probe, however it doesn't nor did the lead kit that I purchased. So I returned it and bought the kit version instead, that includes the case, additional leads, temperature probe and software for creating reports. Seemed like a better value.

As far as the multimeter goes, it is solidly built and performs completely up to expectations. The screen is clear and large making it easy to take readings and view multiple pieces of information simultaneously. I am looking forward to putting it to use over the years.

Sturdy construction! I accidentally dropped the unit off the roof of a 2nd story building and it doesn't even have a scratch! Great deal, exactly as advertised.
