Fluke 179 True RMS Multimeter Kit

The Fluke 179/EDA2 is a digital multimeter kit designed for troubleshooting electrical and electronic systems. It features a True RMS measurement capability with a 6000 count resolution display, analog bar graph, and built-in temperature measurement. The meter meets IEC 1010 safety standards rated CAT IV 600V and CAT III 1000V, and includes a bright backlight for visibility in low light.

Suited for industrial electricians

This kit suits professionals needing a durable, safety-rated meter for tough environments and temperature diagnostics. The overmolded case withstands a one-meter drop test and includes fused current inputs with overvoltage protection. Buyers requiring wireless data logging, graphical trending, or specialized automotive waveform analysis should consider other instrument classes.

Deluxe accessory kit extends measurement reach

The EDA2 bundle adds the 80BK temperature probe for readings in Celsius and Fahrenheit, plus a selection of test leads, alligator clips, and a magnetic hanger. These accessories enable hands-free operation and secure connections in industrial panels. The kit also includes a protective holster with built-in probe holders for organised storage and transport.

Questions about this item

What probe is included in the kit for the Fluke 179 to measure temperature?

The kit includes the 80BK temperature probe so you can measure temperature in Fahrenheit and Celsius directly with the multimeter.

Can the Fluke 179 be used safely on circuits rated for CAT III 1000 V if I keep my older CAT III 600 V test leads?

Yes, the meter itself is rated CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V, so it remains safe on those circuits provided your test leads also carry an equivalent or higher category rating.

How do I confirm the Fluke 179 is reading correctly after I connect the 80BK probe?

The backlit digital display and analog bar graph will show the measured temperature in °F or °C, and the auto or manual hold function lets you freeze the reading to verify it against a known reference.
