XW Warning. Read before using the Meter:

To avoid possible electrical 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. If in doubt, have the

Meter serviced.

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

⇒Verify the Meter's operation by measuring a known voltage.

⇒Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the 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.

⇒Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator ( b) appears.

⇒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 the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.

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

Models 175, 177 & 179

True RMS Multimeters

The Fluke Model 175, Model 177, and Model 179 are battery-

powered, true-RMS multimeters (hereafter "the Meter") with a

6000-count, 3 3/4-digit display and a bar graph. This manual

applies to all three models. All figures show the Model 179.

These meters meet CAT III and CAT IV IEC 61010 standards. The

IEC 61010 safety standard defines four overvoltage 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;

CAT IV meters are designed to protect against transients from the

primary supply level (overhead or underground utility service).

The Meter measures or tests the following:

♦AC / DC voltage & current ♦Diodes

♦Resistance ♦Continuity

♦Voltage & current frequency ♦Capacitance

♦Temperature (Model 179 only)
