Fluke Corp. has introduced a new, easy-to-use utility multimeter designed to help utility workers, linemen and electricians, to quickly diagnose electrical problems.

The Fluke 113 Utility Multimeter gives utility users the means to quickly and easily do basic meter set and reconnect testing. It has the features needed to repair most electrical problems. Using the Fluke VCHEK LoZ, low impedance measurement function, users can simultaneously test for voltage or continuity. The Min/Max function lets them record signal fluctuations.

The Fluke 113 can also perform diode tests. It provides both auto and manual ranging capabilities. The Fluke 113 Utility Multimeter features added measurement functions, backlight and a much larger display that's easier to view.

In addition, because user safety is a central concern, the Fluke 113 Utility Multimeter conforms with the latest safety standards. It meets Measurement Category CAT III 600 V and CAT IV 300 V standards.

Convenience features include an integral holster with probe holders for easy storage. A large backlit display allows for visibility in low-lit areas. The optional ToolPak magnetic hanger allows the user to suspend the tool from steel surfaces for hands-free convenience. It comes complete with TL75 test leads, one 9 V battery and a printed users manual.
