![]() ![]() The Fluke 1587 has the traditional common (COM) and main terminal (V, Ω, temp etc) input sockets on the right side of the interface, but is slightly different from other meters. Select: changes between ranges on dial INPUTS INSULATION TEST: performs a test when set on dial RANGE: switches between auto/manual ranging, changes test voltage ![]() HOLD / LOCK: freezes the display / locks insulation reading Individual voltages are selected via the RANGE button. To perform an insulation test: the dial is simply turned to the insulation test range (with the leads plugged into the appropriate sockets) and the user hits the TEST button. #FLUKE 1587 FC MANUAL#The meter defaults to auto range mode when turned on, but can be changed to manual mode via a RANGE button, which also chooses the various operating ranges. It functions as well as any other multimeter, with a fast continuity checker and a useful range of voltages. The input jack sockets are a bit more involved than your average meter, but with straightforward instructions on the case. It’s not cluttered, however, with the dial showing typical meter ranges and a nice big button for insulation tests. There’s plenty going on with this device, as it is a multimeter and insulation tester in one. A backlight helps in low-light conditions. There is plenty of space and it is legible at angles and distance. As a dual display, it can show insulation resistance measurements together with the test voltage simultaneously. Although not to the precision of the 87V, 177 and others at this price point, it doesn’t need to be. The Fluke 1587 has a beautiful 6000-count, 3¾ digit display. ![]() Below this is the fuse compartment, which saves having to open up the case. A tilting bail is a part of the holster, underneath which is a separate battery compartment for easy changing of the AA batteries. Drop test height is 1m and it is IP40-certified.īoth the buttons and dial switch are solid and will stand up to a certain amount of abuse in industry. It has an integrated rubber boot that goes right around the chassis and protects it from drops. The 1587 is bigger and bulkier than most multimeters on the market (two inches thick), to accommodate the meatier circuitry. The screen is nice and large, with 6000 count resolution and a backlight. This is ideal for plants where inverter control is common.įurther functions on the Fluke 1587 include a hold/lock feature, a min/max mode to pick up low and high readings automatically, and an input alert system. A low-pass filter increases accuracy while measuring variable speed drives by blocking out unwanted voltages. You can switch between auto and manual ranging and it takes care of linear and non-linear AC loads with its True RMS capability. The continuity checker is fast and audible. In addition is a temperature range that reads both Fahrenheit and centigrade through the included K-type thermocouple. The meter itself has all the test ranges, including AC and DC voltage, AC and DC milliamps, DC millivolts, a generous resistance range, capacitance, frequency, and a diode checker. ![]() Also included with the package is the Fluke TP165X probe, which comes with its own test button should you struggle with access to the meter. In addition is live circuit detection which prevents a test should there be more than 30V present in the circuit. It has five ranges – 50V, 100V, 250V, 500V, 1000V – with a measurement range up to 2GΩ. The inclusion of the big orange insulation test button on the 1587 is the main feature.
