What does AutoVolt do on the Fluke 117?
The 117's AutoVolt function automatically selects AC or DC voltage based on what it detects. Fluke presents this as a way to set the dial and obtain the needed voltage measurement without manually selecting the voltage type.
Can the Fluke 117 measure current in milliamps?
Yes. Fluke says the meter has a 10 amp range for both AC and DC current measurements, with maximum resolution of 1 milliamp. The stated resolution identifies the smallest current increment shown by the meter in that measurement range.
What voltage and current limits does the Fluke 117 have?
Fluke's product comparison lists the Fluke 117 for voltage measurements up to 600 V AC/DC and current measurements up to 10 A AC/DC. Those are the stated maximum measurement ratings, not a recommendation to work outside applicable safety procedures.
Is the Fluke 117 usable in low-light work areas?
The product overview describes the 117 as having a bright backlight for darker worksites. The backlight is intended to improve visibility of the meter interface when ambient lighting is limited.
