The Fluke 233 (hereafter the Meter) is a compact and easy to operate tool for electrical and electronic circuit measurements.
Read "Safety Information" before you use the Meter.
The Meter complies with:
In this manual, a Warning identifies the conditions and procedures that cause a dangerous situation to the user. A Caution identifies the conditions and procedures that could cause damage to the Meter, equipment under test damage, or permanent data loss.
The symbols used on the Meter and in this manual are shown in Table 1.
To prevent possible electrical shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
To prevent damage to the Meter or to the equipment under test, follow these guidelines:

Table 4. Function Switch Positions
Switch Position | Description |
Hz (button) | AC voltage from 0.06 to 1000 V. Frequency from 5 Hz to 50 kHz. |
DC voltage from 0.001 V to 1000 V. | |
AC voltage from 6.0 to 600.0 mV, dc-coupled. DC voltage from 0.1 to 600.0 mV. | |
Ohms from 0.1 Ω to 40 MΩ. | |
Continuity beeper turns on at <20 Ω and turns off at >250 Ω. | |
Farads from 1 nF to 9999 μF. | |
Diode Test. OL shows in the display when the input voltage is >2.0 V. | |
Temperature. | |
Hz (button) | AC current from 0.1 A to 10 A (>10 to 20 A, 30 seconds on, 10 minutes off). >10.00 A display flashes. >20 A, OL is shown. DC-coupled. Frequency from 45 Hz to 5 kHz. |
DC current from 0.001 A to 10 A (>10 to 20 A, 30 seconds on, 10 minutes off). >10.00 A display flashes. >20 A, OL is shown. | |
Note: All ac functions are true-rms. AC voltage is ac-coupled. AC mV and ac amps are dc-coupled. |
Table 5 contains possible error messages and the steps to clear the error.
Table 5. Error Messages
Error Messages | |
Display-module batteries must be replaced before the Meter will operate. | |
Meter-base batteries must be replaced before the Meter will operate. | |
Calibration necessary. Meter calibration is necessary before the Meter will operate. | |
