Product overview: Fluke 88V Deluxe Automotive Multimeter

The Fluke 88V has improved measurement functions, trouble-shooting features and accuracy to solve more problems on conventional and hybrid vehicles. The 88V is the most powerful automotive multimeter ever offered by Fluke. In addition to having all standard multimeter features like the ability to measure voltage, current, continuity, and resistance, the 88V can perform diode test and pulse width measurements.

This meter can take current measurements up to 20 A for 30 seconds and 10 A continuously. The optional magnetic hanger lets you attach the meter to most steel surfaces for easy set-up and viewing. The 88V is designed to be used in high energy environments like those found on hybrid vehicles.

Measures

  • Resistance, continuity and diode test
  • Millisecond pulse width measurements for fuel injectors
  • Frequency to 200 kHz and % duty cycle
  • Measure up to 1000 V AC and DC
  • Measure current up to 10 A, 20 A for up to 30 seconds
  • 4 ½ digits for precise measurements
  • RPM measurements with included inductive pickup
  • Temperature measurements with optional temperature probe

Specs say it will measure RPM. Does the required probe come with this? If not what is the P/N for it?

Asked by: Greesmonky
The Fluke 88V can measure RPM by either using the test leads and connecting them to a RPM sensor or using the RPM80 accessory and clamp around a spark plug cable. The part number for the RPM80 is “880849.”

Does this 88v have true rms? Is that not critical between home and automotive diagnostics? Looking to cover both needs with one meter

Asked by: Mje22
No, the Fluke-88V is not a True RMS meter. Since automotive measurements are typically only made on DC circuits a true-RMS meter is not necessary. Similarly, the AC circuits in homes are normally clean and without distorted waveforms. Typical examples of workloads where a true-RMS meter is recommended would be variable-speed motor drives, electronic ballasts, computers, and HVAC systems.

Is there a master list of accessories that are compatible with this meter? Specifically the i410 AC/DC current clamp. Also would be interested in a phototach and different temp probes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Just an absolutely great meter I have had my 88v for about 10 years now. It's been dropped from ladders, gone thru sitting in extreme heat of Nevada sun to transmitter towers on mountains 10000' middle of winter.... It's been exposed to over current and voltage on resistance setting and it still holds accurate readings with the only issue I've ever had is when moisture got into the test lead section. Causing it to think it was in current test. Plus this meter has just about any measurement one could ever need to make except inductance. If it had that it would be the near perfect meter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Many features for automotive I received the 88V for Christmas and it was a gift for my participation in an automotive repair internship. Using the meter for a few tasks really showed me the many scientific features– for example the water temperature of the swimming pool was taken to compare the results with a weather service. Verifying good electrical grounds on vehicle components, and checking the resistance of installed automotive wiring makes diagnosing and installing more accurate. Protecting the meter seems easy with the yellow bumper case. There are many accessories that can be used like the temperature reading probes, direct current reading meter clamp, alligator clamp probes, thin-wire precision probes and probes that can be inserted into the wire by needling the probe-needle through the wires conduit. Personally, the meter has been used only a few times but it has performed very well. The jobs that the meter was used for are okay. The display is large and easy to read.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great DMM!!! This is the best multimeter that I have ever used. I have been in the automotive industry for 25 years. I have worked everywhere from independent service shops to dealerships to automotive manufacturers. I have used many different types of DMMs none can compare with the fluke 88. It is easy to use, nice large read out. Perfect for all automotive test. I have owned this one for 20 years
