Product overview: Fluke 120B Series Industrial ScopeMeter handheld Oscilloscopes

Simplified testing, more insight

The compact ScopeMeter® 120B Series, is the rugged oscilloscope solution for industrial electrical and electro-mechanical equipment troubleshooting and maintenance applications. It’s a truly integrated test tool, putting the functions of an oscilloscope, multimeter, and high-speed recorder into one, easy-to-use instrument. The ScopeMeter 120B Series also integrates with Fluke Connect® mobile app and FlukeView® for ScopeMeter software to enable further collaboration, data analysis, and archiving of critical test information.

 Faster electro-mechanical troubleshooting

Faster electro-mechanical troubleshooting

Troubleshoot faster and get the answers you need to keep systems up and running. Display waveforms with Connect and View™ trigger and setup technology. Automatically view related numerical measurements using Fluke IntellaSet™ technology, all without making manual measurement adjustments. With Recorder Event Detect capabilities, elusive intermittent events are captured and logged for easy viewing and analysis.

Connect-and-View™ triggering for an instant, stable display

Oscilloscope users know how difficult triggering can be. Using the wrong settings can lead to unstable waveform captures, and sometimes, even the wrong measurement data. Fluke’s unique Connect-and View™ triggering technology recognizes signal patterns, and automatically sets up the correct triggering to provide a stable, reliable, and repeatable display.

Connect-and-View™ triggering is designed to work with virtually any signal, including motor drives and control signals— without adjusting parameters, or even touching a button. Signal changes are instantly recognized, and settings are automatically adjusted providing a stable display even when measuring multiple test points in quick succession.

 IntellaSet™/AutoReading

IntellaSet™/AutoReading

The Auto Readings function with Fluke IntellaSet™ technology uses proprietary algorithms to intelligently analyze the measured waveform and automatically display the most appropriate numerical measurements on-screen, so you can get the data you need easier than ever before. For example, when the measured waveform is a line voltage signal, the V rms and Hz readings are automatically displayed, whereas if the measured waveform is a square wave, the V peak-peak and Hz readings are automatically displayed. Using IntellaSet™ technology in conjunction with Connect and-View™ automatic triggering you can be sure you’re seeing not only the correct waveform, but the appropriate numerical reading as well. All without touching a button.

Harmonics function measures periodic distortions

Harmonics are periodic distortions of voltage, current, or power sine waves. Harmonics in power distribution systems are often caused by non-linear loads such as switched mode dc power supplies and adjustable speed motor drives. Harmonics can cause transformers, conductors, and motors to overheat. In the Harmonics function, the Test Tool measures harmonics to the 51st. Related data such as dc components, THD (Total Harmonic Distortion), and K factor are measured to provide a complete insight into the electrical state of health of your loads.

 Comprehensive recorder modes help find intermittent faults

Comprehensive recorder modes help find intermittent faults

The toughest faults to find are those that happen only once in a while—intermittent events. They can be caused by bad connections, dust, dirt, corrosion or simply broken wiring or connectors. Other factors, like line outages and sags or the starting and stopping of a motor, can also cause intermittent events resulting in equipment shutdowns. When these events happen, you may not be around to see it. But your Fluke ScopeMeter Test Tool will.

You can either plot the minimum and maximum peak measurement values or record the waveform trace. And, with expandable microSD memory, recording sessions can be done for up to 14 days. This recorder is even more powerful with the addition of Recorder Event Detect, which makes detecting and logging intermittent faults easier than ever. Just set a threshold on a meter reading or scope trace and deviations are tagged as unique events. You no longer need to search through masses of data to pinpoint faults and can quickly step from one tagged event to the next, while still having access to the full data set.

Could I measure DC Power (Watt) with the 125b (for troubleshooting and monitoring 48V PV inverters with battery storage) using a Fluke i410 AC/DC clamp sensor? Or is it forced to AC only? Thanks in advance!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Good hardware, faulty firmware Although the hardware and the idea behind this industrial scope is great, it is just riddled with firmware bugs. We purchased a unit (with the latest firmware- version 1.14.00) and were immediately troubled with detrimental issues. The issues are are as follows: 1- The instrument does not turn ON after entering "sleep mode", and must be turned ON using the "factory reset" method. 2- The "charge" symbol does not always switch to the "battery" symbol when the charger is removed and the instrument thinks it's still being charged. When this happens, the instrument does NOT turn ON once its turned OFF. Not even with the "factory reset" method. Although removing the battery for a few minutes solves this problem. Since we are limited on time and wanted to rule out a defective unit, we purchased a second unit, but were surprised to find that they both have the exact same problems. This just seems to be the cause of unchecked and inferior firmware. We are holding on to both units for now until we receive instruction from Fluke.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice Display, Fluke Quality Used various Fluke scope meters for over 25 years. The display on this unit is spectacular. Debated on other cheaper brands available lately but decided to pay double the price for a Fluke as to avoid the hassle and time questioning the reliability of other products. Chose the 123B for the value as I don't need anything over 20Mhz. The test leads are super heavy duty. Bought a 410 current clamp for AC/DC amps. Everything I need!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fluke 124B Purchased the 124B few months ago. I mostly use it to measure the voltage waveform of VSD and UPS, which help me to solve the problems quickly and safely. However the device works great, but i found that there is something odd when measuring DC voltage i.e. The voltage value will change while moving the waveform position up and down. Firmware version V1.12.00

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Great features but not working We bought it in July 2018 124B. The recording feature should help us find periodic errors. We find that scoped restarts and timestamps do not match the recorded image. We have contacted fluke several times, but it does not seem to be resolved.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice tool to have We bought this scope ( Fluke 125 ) to troubleshoot several Fieldbus trunks. Tool was able to find noise and distortion affecting this site where other tools from different vendors couldn't. It was a nice feeling finding the "smoking gun"

Rated 5 out of 5 by from First Scopemeter Great Portable Oscilloscope for testing VFD's and power conditions if not on a Delta. This is my first one and don't know how we survived without one. If you are working with Delta transformer I recommend a 190 Series and with only 2 inputs you cannot data you may want. Went with the 125B to save a little cost over the 190 and very happy with it. This has really helped with properly diagnosing VFD issues we were having and recording intermittent issues. I would recommend!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great meter extremely useful in the classroom We purchased Fluke 125B scopemeters for use in the electrical labs at the community college where I am a professor, and I found them to be extremely useful when educating students about AC wave forms, AC power (true power (watts), apparent power (VA), reactive power (VAR) and power factor). I also use the meters when teaching about power quality and harmonics. The color display is so much better then the black & white display on the 43B. I have only been using the meters for one semester but so far I have found them to be excellent and durable. The students learn the concepts so much easier when they can see the waveforms for themselves on a meter display, on the projector screen, or on their cell phone using Fluke connect. Our Fluke representative, Curt Geeting, has always been a big help when choosing Fluke products to best suit our needs.
