True-rms Multimeters

Introduction

The Fluke Model 115C, and Model 117C are battery-

powered, true-rms multimeters (hereafter "the Meter")

with a 6000-count display and a bar graph. This manual

applies to both models. All figures show the Model

117C.

These meters meet CAT III IEC 61010-1 2nd Edition

standards. The IEC 61010-1 2nd Edition safety standard

defines four measurement categories (CAT I to IV)

based on the magnitude of danger from transient

impulses. CAT III meters are designed to protect

against transients in fixed-equipment installations at the

distribution level.

Unsafe Voltage

To alert you to the presence of a potentially

hazardous voltage, the Ysymbol is displayed when

the Meter measures a voltage ≥30 V or a voltage

overload (OL) condition. When making frequency

measurements >1 kHz, the Ysymbol is unspecified.

Test Lead Alert

XWWarning

Personal injury or damage to the

Meter can occur if you attempt to

make a measurement with a lead in an

incorrect terminal.

To remind you to check that the test leads are in the

correct terminals, LEAd is briefly displayed and an

audible beep sounds when you move the rotary

switch to or from any A(Amps) position.

Users Manual

Safety Information

A "XWWarning" statement identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or death.

A "WCaution" statement identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Meter or the equipment under test.

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:

•Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might

be impaired.

•Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating

properly.

•Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements.

•Verify the Meter's operation by measuring a known voltage. If in doubt, have the Meter

serviced.

•Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on Meter, between terminals or

between any terminal and earth ground.

•Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose

a shock hazard.

•Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing

resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.

•Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.

•When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.

•Only use test leads that have the same voltage, category, and amperage ratings as the meter

and that have been approved by a safety agency.

•Remove test leads from Meter before opening the battery door or Meter case.

Safety Information

•Comply with local and national safety requirements when working in hazardous locations.

•Use proper protective equipment, as required by local or national authorities when working

in hazardous areas.

•Avoid working alone.

•Use only the replacement fuse specified or the protection may be impaired.

•Check the test leads for continuity before use. Do not use if the readings are high or noisy.

•Do not use the Auto Volts function to measure voltages in circuits that could be damaged by

this function’s low input impedance (≈3 kΩ)(117 only).

Users Manual

Battery Saver ("Sleep Mode")

The Meter automatically enters "Sleep mode" and blanks

the display if there is no function change, range change, or

button press for 20 minutes. Pressing any button or

turning the rotary switch awakens the Meter. To disable the

Sleep mode, hold down the gbutton while turning the

Meter on. The Sleep mode is always disabled in the MIN

MAX AVG mode.

MIN MAX AVG Recording Mode

The MIN MAX AVG recording mode captures the minimum

and maximum input values (ignoring overloads), and

calculates a running average of all readings. When a new

high or low is detected, the Meter beeps.

•Put the Meter in the desired measurement function and

range.

•Press pto enter MIN MAX AVG mode.

•Mand MAX are displayed and the highest

reading detected since entering MIN MAX AVG is

displayed.

•Press pto step through the low (MIN), average

(AVG), and present readings.

•To pause MIN MAX AVG recording without erasing

stored values, press f. Kis displayed.

•To resume MIN MAX AVG recording, press fagain.

•To exit and erase stored readings, press pfor at

least one second or turn the rotary switch.

Display HOLD

XWWarning

To avoid electric shock, when Display

HOLD is activated, be aware that the

display will not change when you

apply a different voltage.

In the Display HOLD mode, the Meter freezes the display.

1. Press fto activate Display HOLD. (Kis

displayed.)

2. To exit and return to normal operation, press for

turn the rotary switch.

Backlight

Press Qto toggle the backlight on and off. The backlight

automatically turns off after 40 seconds. To disable

backlight auto-off, hold down Qwhile turning the Meter

on.

Manual and Autoranging

The Meter has both Manual and Autorange modes.

•In the Autorange mode, the Meter selects the range with

the best resolution.

•In the Manual Range mode, you override Autorange and

select the range yourself.
