Fluke 8808A
Digital Multimeter
Extended Specifications
Making measurements is
as simple as pushing a
button
The Fluke 8808A 5.5 digit
multimeter has a broad range
of functions, measuring volts,
ohms and amps with a basic
V dc accuracy of 0.01 %. It is
remarkably easy to use, even by
unskilled operators, because it
makes the measurements you
perform most often extremely
easy and fast to do.
Six setup buttons on the
8808A front panel operate like
a car radio’s station presets.
Simply set up the meter for a
common measurement, then
press shift followed by a setup
button (S1 to S6) to save the
setup. Now each time you
perform that measurement, you
simply press the appropriate
setup key. It’s that easy!
The setup buttons eliminate
the need to follow complex work
instruction sheets. Operators no
longer need to press multiple
buttons to set up a measurement
function and range, test limits, or
enter other parameters to make
a measurement.
Eliminate production
mistakes
The Fluke 8808A 5.5 digit
multimeter dependably performs
the most common measurements
required by today’s applications.
Features at a glance
•5.5 digit resolution
•Basic V dc accuracy of 0.01 %
•Dual display
•Dedicated dc leakage current measurement
•2x4 ohms 4-wire measurement technique
•Six dedicated buttons for fast access to instrument setups
•Hi.Lo limit compare for Pass/Fail testing
•Fluke 45 remote command emulation
Whether you are performing
functional tests or making
critical measurements on test
points, using the limit compare
mode with pass/fail indicators
eliminates production mistakes,
especially those where results
are “on the edge.”
The 8808A display has
built-in enunciators that clearly
show the operator whether a
test passes or fails. The pass/fail
indicators take the guesswork
out of testing: the result is either
within limits or it’s out.
