Lifetime Limited Warranty

Each Fluke 20, 70, 80, 170 and 180 Series DMM will be free from defects in material and workmanship for its lifetime. As used herein, “lifetime” is defined as seven years after Fluke discontinues manufacturing the product, but the warranty period shall be at least ten years from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover fuses, disposable batteries, damage from neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling, including failures caused by use outside of the product’s specifications, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components. This warranty covers the original purchaser only and is not transferable.

For ten years from the date of purchase, this warranty also covers the LCD. Thereafter, for the lifetime of the DMM, Fluke will replace the LCD for a fee based on then current component acquisition costs.

To establish original ownership and prove date of purchase, please complete and return the registration card accompanying the product, or register your product on http://www.fluke.com. Fluke will, at its option, repair at no charge, replace or refund the purchase price of a defective product purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet and at the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to charge for importation costs of repair/replacement parts if the product purchased in one country is sent for repair elsewhere.

If the product is defective, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain return authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Fluke will pay return transportation for product repaired or replaced in-warranty. Before making any non-warranty repair, Fluke will estimate cost and obtain authorization, then invoice you for repair and return transportation.

THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR ONLY REMEDY. NO OTHER WARRANTIES, SUCH AS FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY. AUTHORIZED RESELLERS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO EXTEND ANY DIFFERENT WARRANTY ON FLUKE’S BEHALF. Since some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of an implied warranty or of incidental or consequential damages, this limitation of liability may not apply to you. If any provision of this warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

80 Series III specifications

The Fluke 80 Series III digital multimeters are renowned for their robust engineering, precision, and versatility, making them a staple in the toolkit of electricians, engineers, and technicians. Launched by Fluke Corporation, a leading manufacturer of electronic test tools, the 80 Series III has set a benchmark in the multimeter industry for its reliability and performance.

One of the standout features of the Fluke 80 Series III is its wide measurement capabilities. The device can accurately measure AC and DC voltage, DC current, resistance, frequency, and capacitance. This comprehensive feature set allows users to tackle a variety of tasks, from simple household electrical checks to complex industrial applications. The meter's high input impedance prevents loading effects on circuits, ensuring accurate readings, especially in sensitive electronic applications.

Fluke's proprietary True-RMS technology is another defining characteristic of the 80 Series III. This technology ensures that the multimeter provides accurate readings for both non-linear loads and distorted waveforms, which are common in many modern electrical systems. This capability is particularly valuable in diagnosing issues in variable frequency drives, inverters, and other electronic systems that do not present traditional sinusoidal waveforms.

Durability is a key factor in the design of the Fluke 80 Series III. The multimeter is housed in a rugged, impact-resistant case that can withstand the rigors of fieldwork. It features a built-in protective holster with a probe holder, enhancing portability while safeguarding the device against drops and bumps. Furthermore, the 80 Series III boasts an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, ensuring reliable performance in adverse conditions.

User-friendliness is also a significant aspect of the Fluke 80 Series III. The large, easy-to-read display, combined with intuitive controls, allows users to navigate its functions with ease. The multimeter features a backlight, enabling use in dimly lit environments, while the hold function ensures that readings can be captured and displayed even after disconnecting the probes.

In addition to these features, the Fluke 80 Series III offers various models to cater to specific needs, such as the 87V for highly accurate measurements in industrial environments and the 86V for temperature measurements with added thermocouple support. Each model maintains the high standards of quality and performance that Fluke is known for.

In summary, the Fluke 80 Series III digital multimeters combine advanced features, high accuracy, and rugged durability, making them indispensable tools for professionals who require reliable performance in challenging environments. Whether for routine maintenance or complex troubleshooting, the 80 Series III offers everything necessary to meet the demands of today’s electrical tasks.
