Fluke 117 Digital Multimeter measurement tool
A digital multimeter with non-contact AC voltage detection, automatic AC/DC selection, low-impedance mode, True RMS, LED backlight and 400-hour battery life
- Product typeElectrical Measuring Accessories
- Non-contact voltage detection speeds up troubleshooting with VoltAlert technology
- Automatic AC/DC voltage selection simplifies measurements via AutoVolt function
- Low impedance mode prevents false readings caused by ghost voltage
- True RMS ensures accurate results on non-linear loads
- Large white LED backlight enables work in poorly lit areas
Ideal for commercial electricians
The Fluke 117 is a True RMS digital multimeter built for demanding environments such as commercial buildings, hospitals and schools. Integrated VoltAlert technology provides non-contact AC voltage detection so users can identify live conductors without test leads. AutoVolt automatically selects AC or DC voltage, reducing setup time on mixed circuits. Low impedance mode helps prevent false readings caused by ghost voltage.
True RMS accuracy with 400 hour battery life
True RMS measurement delivers accurate results on non-linear loads found in modern electrical systems. The meter operates from minus 10 °C to plus 50 °C and achieves a typical 400 hour battery life when the backlight is off. A large white LED backlight illuminates the display for work in poorly lit areas. Current measurement reaches 10 A continuous with a 20 A overload capacity for 30 seconds.
CAT III 600 V safety rating
The meter carries a CAT III 600 V safety rating for protection in fixed installations. It measures resistance, continuity, frequency and capacitance, and records Min, Max and Average values to capture signal fluctuations. An optional magnetic hanger (ToolPak) enables hands free operation when working inside panels or at height. Low impedance mode further supports reliable diagnostics day to day.

Questions about this item
How do I install the batteries in the Fluke 117, and what step is often missed?
Remove the back cover, insert three AA cells matching the polarity marks, then refit the cover and tighten the screw so the CAT III 600 V rating stays valid.
What maintenance or replacement will the Fluke 117 need after extended use?
Replace the three AA batteries after roughly 400 hours of use without the backlight; also inspect the test leads for cracked insulation before each job.
What limit appears first when the Fluke 117 is used continuously on high current?
The 10 A input fuse opens if you exceed 10 A continuously; the meter allows 20 A for only 30 seconds before the fuse blows.
