Marked measurement category

Not recorded

The record has no confirmed CAT category and voltage pair. A marking in a photograph cannot fill that gap.

The buying trap. Confirm the exact model’s manual before considering it for mains measurements.

    When you want the top logging model.

Purchase links appear where the exact offer is verified. Confirm the named model, quantity and accessories before ordering.

Watch out

  • 287 vs 289: the 289 adds a color display and more logging memory at a higher price.
  • A listing with software or the ir3000 FC connector is a bundle; the base kit is leads, clips and batteries.
  • The 287 needs the optional ir3000 FC infrared connector for wireless; it is not built in.

Why people pick it

  • 0.025% basic DC accuracy and 1 μV resolution, per the spec sheet, which is lab-bench grade in a handheld
  • TrendCapture graphs logged data on the meter's display, so intermittent faults show up without a PC
  • 100 kHz true-RMS bandwidth and 250 μs peak capture handle PWM and complex signals
  • 100 mF capacitance range and temperature to 1350 °C cover electronics and thermal work in one tool

Know before you buy

  • Fluke Connect wireless requires the optional ir3000 FC infrared connector, sold separately
  • At 870.9 g and 22 cm long it is a large, expensive meter for casual household use
  • FlukeView Forms documentation software is an optional extra, not included
