What are the Fluke 87V's drop and ingress-protection ratings?
Fluke's comparison table lists the 87V with an IP30 rating and a 3 m drop-test rating for this model.
Can the 87V measure duty cycle and microamps?
Yes. Fluke lists duty cycle and microamps among the 87V's additional measurement capabilities; the same table also lists frequency and continuity/diode testing.
What does Relative mode do on the Fluke 87V?
Relative mode lets you remove test-lead resistance from the measurement, which Fluke says improves accuracy when making low-resistance measurements.
How can the 87V be positioned for hands-free viewing?
The removable holster includes a built-in test-lead and probe holder. Fluke also says the 87V fits an optional TPAK magnetic hanger, which can free both hands during work.
Where should an owner start if the 87V needs repair or warranty service?
Fluke's warranty guidance says to contact the authorized seller for immediate replacement of a defective product or the nearest Fluke authorized service center for return-authorization information. Proof of purchase is required to establish original ownership for the industrial lifetime warranty.
