Introduction

The Fluke Model 116, is a battery-powered, true-rms multimeter (hereafter "the Meter") with a 6000-count display and a bar graph.

This meter meets CAT III IEC 61010-1 2 nd standards. The IEC 61010-1 2 nd

Edition

Edition safety standard defines four measurement categories (CAT I to IV) based on the magnitude of danger from transient impulses. CAT III meters are designed to protect against transients in fixed-equipment installations at the distribution level.

Safety Information

A " XWWarning" statement identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or death.

A " WCaution" statement identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Meter or the equipment under test.

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:

Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might be impaired.

• Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating properly.

Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements.

Verify the Meter's operation by measuring a known voltage. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on Meter, between terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.

Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.

• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.

Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.

When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.

Only use test leads that have the same voltage, category, and amperage ratings as the meter and that have been approved by a safety agency.

• Remove test leads from Meter before opening the battery door or Meter case.

True-rms Multimeter

Comply with local and national safety requirements when working in hazardous locations.

Use proper protective equipment, as required by local or national authorities when working in hazardous areas.

Avoid working alone.

Use only the replacement fuse specified or the protection may be impaired.

Check the test leads for continuity before use. Do not use if the readings are high or noisy.

Do not use the Auto Volts function to measure voltages in circuits that could be damaged by this function’s low input impedance (

3 kΩ).

Battery Saver ("Sleep Mode")

The Meter automatically enters "Sleep mode" and blanks the display if there is no function change, range change or button press for 20 minutes. Pressing any button or turning the rotary switch awakens the Meter. To disable the

Sleep mode, hold down the g button while turning the

Meter on. The Sleep mode is always disabled in the MIN

MAX AVG mode.

MIN MAX AVG Recording Mode

The MIN MAX AVG recording mode captures the minimum and maximum input values (ignoring overloads), and calculates a running average of all readings. When a new high or low is detected, the Meter beeps.

• Put the Meter in the desired measurement function and range.

• Press p to enter MIN MAX AVG mode.

• Mand MAX are displayed and the highest reading detected since entering MIN MAX AVG is displayed.

• Press p to step through the low (MIN), average

(AVG), and present readings.

• To pause MIN MAX AVG recording without erasing stored values, press f. K is displayed.

• To resume MIN MAX AVG recording, press fagain.

• To exit and erase stored readings, press p for at least one second or turn the rotary switch.

Display HOLD

XWWarning

To avoid electric shock, when Display

HOLD is activated, be aware that the display will not change when you apply a different voltage.

In the Display HOLD mode, the Meter freezes the display.

1.

Press fto activate Display HOLD. (K is displayed.)

2.

To exit and return to normal operation, press f or turn the rotary switch.

Backlight

Press Q to toggle the backlight on and off. The backlight automatically turns off after 40 seconds. To disable backlight auto-off, hold down Q while turning the Meter on.

Manual and Autoranging

The Meter has both Manual and Autorange modes.

• In the Autorange mode, the Meter selects the range with the best resolution.

• In the Manual Range mode, you override Autorange and select the range yourself.

True-rms Multimeter

When you turn the Meter on, it defaults to Autorange and

Auto is displayed.

1.

To enter the Manual Range mode, press q.

Manual is displayed.

2.

In the Manual Range mode, press qto increment the range. After the highest range, the Meter wraps to the lowest range.

Note

You cannot manually change the range in the

MIN MAX AVG or Display HOLD modes.

If you press qwhile in MIN MAX AVG or

Display Hold, the Meter beeps twice, indicating an invalid operation, and the range does not change.

3.

To exit Manual Range, press q for at least 1 second or turn the rotary switch. The Meter returns to

Autorange and Auto is displayed.

Power-Up Options

To select a Power-Up Option, hold down the button indicated in the following table while turning the Meter on.

Power-Up Options are canceled when you turn the Meter off and when sleep mode is activated.

To avoid electrical shock, disregard the bar graph for frequencies >1 kHz.

If the frequency of the measured

signal is >1 kHz, the bar graph and Z are unspecified.

AC Voltage Frequency

Hz

The Meter measures the frequency of a signal by counting the number of times the signal crosses a trigger level each second. The trigger level is 0 V for all ranges.

1.

Press g to turn the frequency measurement function on and off. Frequency works with ac volts only.

2.

In frequency, the bar graph and range annunciator indicate the AC voltage present.

3.

Select progressively lower ranges using manual ranging for a stable reading.

Making Low Impedance Capacitance

Measurements

For making capacitance measurements on cables with ghost voltage, hold qwhile turning on the Meter to switch the Meter into LoZ, (low input impedance)

Capacitance mode. In this mode, capacitance measurements will have a lower accuracy and lower dynamic range. This setting is not saved when the Meter is turned off or goes into sleep mode. edy09f.eps

Using the Bargraph

The bar graph is like the needle on an analog meter. It has an overload indicator (

>) to the right and a polarity indicator ( +) to the left.

Because the bar graph updates much faster than the digital display, the bar graph is useful for making peak and null adjustments.

The bar graph is disabled when measuring capacitance and temperature. In frequency, the bar graph and range annunciator indicates the underlying voltage up to 1 kHz.

The number of segments indicates the measured value and

is relative to the full-scale value of the selected range.

In the 60 V range, for example (see below), the major divisions on the scale represent 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 V. An input of −30 V turns on the negative sign and the segments up to the middle of the scale.

Maintenance

Maintenance of the Meter consists of replacing the battery and cleaning the case.

Replacing the Battery eeo11f.eps aej11f.eps

16

XWWarning

To avoid shock, injury, or damage to the Meter, remove test leads from the

Meter before opening the case or battery door.

To remove the battery door for battery replacement:

1.

Remove the test leads from the Meter.

2.

Remove the battery door screw.

3.

Use the finger recess to lift the door slightly.

4.

Lift the door straight up to separate it from the case.

True-rms Multimeter

Cleaning

The battery fits inside the battery door, which is then inserted into the case, bottom edge first, until it is fully seated. Do not attempt to install the battery directly into the case.

5.

Install and tighten battery door screw.

Cleaning

Wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents to clean

the case top or lens/window. Dirt or moisture in the terminals can affect readings.

Notes:

[1] All AC ranges except Auto-V LoZ are specified from 1 % to 100% of range. Auto-V LoZ is specified from 0 V.

Because inputs below 1 % of range are not specified, it is normal for this and other true-rms meters to display nonzero readings when the test leads are disconnected from a circuit or are shorted together. For volts and μA, crest factor of ≤3 at 4000 counts, decreasing linearly to 1.5 at full scale. AC volts is ac-coupled. Auto-V LoZ, AC mV, and

AC μA are dc-coupled.
