The Fluke 289 – customers’ review

"Extremely efficient … a problem-solving tool for a variety of situations"

 

Two recent customer testimonials demonstrate the versatility of our Fluke 289 Digital Multimeter. Whether logging mains voltages to view long term trends or checking out large motors, the meter gives fast and easy answers. That’s been shown repeatedly by customers who are world leaders in their fields.

Upgrading from a Fluke 189 to a Fluke 289: a single meter for multiple uses

One of the customer reviews comes from Artofil, in the Netherlands. Artofil runs a spinning mill that produces high-performance yarns for a broad range of applications. Established in 1951, the company now has around 60 employees and is part of the Trispin Group, which employs about 150 people. A team of six technicians installs and maintains machinery internally, and they have found many benefits in the Fluke 289 over their previous (and well liked) Fluke 189. They especially liked:
  • Easy and safe operation
  • Extended Log function
  • Clear and helpful trendcapture function
  • Info button
  • Separate on/off button
  • Fast reading of measured values
  • Analog readout by bar graph
  • Size and convenience (they liked the larger display for better, more convenient and safer readings)

As Denny van Doorne, Technical Support at Artofil BV, remarked: "With just a single meter, our technical services can perform all the tasks they need."

Testing heavy industrial motors

The BENETTI GROUP is the world’s leading manufacturer of machinery and tools for excavating and processing marble, granite and stone blocks. The Fluke 289 is in daily use during assembly, final testing and troubleshooting of Benetti’s diamond belt saws. It is helping the company to limit costly equipment downtime for asynchronous motors, inverters and DC motors, and cutting machines. With built-in data logger and TrendCapture, the Fluke 289 helps Benetti track down elusive, intermittent problems.

The meter gives easy and accurate current and voltage measurements from DC drives, as well as current and frequency measurements from AC/low-pass filter drives using an i410 current clamp. Event Logging with MIN/MAX/AVG function simplifies tasks like investigating mains quality and monitoring equipment operating parameters.

An "extremely efficient tool" commented Benetti’s Marco Pieretti. "As a non-specialized user, I particularly appreciate its accuracy and easy-to-use features, which give me a problem-solving tool for a variety of situations. Congratulations on your products and thank you!"
