  • Page 5 Sometimes the meters can’t be mounted in a location that is easy to read while operating the lift trucks. With the Fluke 233, we could connect the base unit up to take mea- surements and mount the remote display on the instrument panel.
  • Page 6 Automotive “As a heavy duty charging system service technician and trainer, a large part of my job includes monitoring and com- paring voltages and current flow from a generator all the way to a set of batteries that may be up to 30 feet away on a longer truck.

  • Page 9 This meter could very possibly save lives.” T.T., Texas “It would be nice to hook the Fluke 233 up to an overhead hoist, remove the display and be a safe distance away from the high voltage in the relay box. I could hook the meter up to check the amperage draw on the contactor coils to find intermittent problems when the coils get warm.
  • Page 10 F.P., Illinois “The Fluke 223 will allow our Maintenance Technicians to monitor overhead crane parameters while the crane operates without having to “ride the crane”. This will enhance safety on our cranes with catwalks.

  • Page 14 J.J., South Carolina “As a collector of vintage computing equipment, I often need to test and repair aging electronic circuits. Fluke 233 would ease the troubleshooting of display driver circuitry of an HP-35. With a detachable display, I would be able to monitor the outputs I’m testing without having to divert my attention...

    Industrial Controls “It would be most helpful when checking voltages on eyes and switches on machinery while product was running to ensure that the controls were getting the correct signals from the eyes and switches. It would also be helpful in hard-to- access control panels that now require two people to work on.
  • Page 30 Industrial Controls “A meter with a remote display would be very useful for startup and troubleshooting of control panels and I/O Cabi- nets. Frequently, the meter needs to be inside the cabinet connected to test points while you need to be in front of the cabinet actuating the circuit being tested.

  • Page 33 Manufacturing “A meter like this would be a tremendous safety benefit when working on various packaging machines and conveyor lines. These systems get quite large and often the control panel is located on the opposite side of the various motors and electri- cal connections.
  • Page 34 The problem is, we don’t always have the second person available to help out so I have to run very long jumpers from the top of machine to my Fluke 87 on the ground. I hate running jumpers this long (sometimes 15-18 feet long) it just gets to be a tangled mess, not to mention the clips coming loose because of machine movement.

With the new Fluke 233 it will make the job much easier and there is no need to keep going back and forth to and from the control panel to check the DC power, so we save time and effort to solve the problem.”...
  • Page 38 “There have been many occasions when I have been work- ing on large AM & FM broadcast transmitters when I certainly could have used a 233. It would be very handy to be able to attach the meter leads to a circuit and leave the meter inside the transmitter, close the interlocked doors, turn on the trans- mitter and read the display.

    F.N., California “As an electrical contractor, I can imagine many uses for Fluke 233. I would mostly use it to identify wires and circuits. I currently use the beeper and a probe but the lines must be de-energized.
  • Page 42 Electrical Contractors “I would use the Fluke 233 to troubleshoot circuitry. It would replace the need to have two men to troubleshoot 3-way switching, or to look at a ceiling box voltage while switching from the ground. I would also appreciate being able to simul- taneously do voltage and amperage checks without having to move from branch circuit breaker to load.”...

    W.S., Montana “I would use the Fluke 233 for monitoring energized equip- ment more safely while reducing the risk of an arc flash. We would be able to de-energize and open the equipment, install the Fluke 223, and close and re-energize the equip- ment.
