Fluke 8010A DMM

[tom_pay]

Hi Everyone,

I just got a Fluke 8010A bench top multimeter. Unfortunatly it did not come with an instruction manual.

This is a very bad thing because there is buttons on it that I do not know what they do. The buttons in question are the range select buttons (2v, 20v, ECT). They have some time values underneath them, they are very low values in the us and ms area.

What do these values mean?

Thanks

Tom.

Download the manual from Fluke.

Try with starting here.

or as #12 suggest. Saw that after I posted.

I just happen to have a Fluke 8012A, but my manual covers the 8010 also. Those numbers are 2mS, 20uS, and 200ns. They are when measuring Conductance. On pages 2-7 and 2-8 of my manual it shows how to do a conductance. I hope this helps.

Conductance is a more convenient way to measure and display large values of resistance in units of Siemens (inverse resistance, formerly called a mho). The conductance range typically allows the measurement of higher resistances than a typical multimeter can do. For example 1nS equals 1000 megohms.

When I was looking for the manual and found it I saw the image on the cover and thought it looked familiar. When I got home from work sure enough, I found a Fluke 8050A on my shelf of older but good stuff. I bet I haven't used it in 20 years but there it is. There may be another in an attic crawl space. All of that 8000 series were really good little meters as I recall.
