Product Overview

RENT FLUKE 8508A Reference Multimeter (call for availability)

The Fluke 8508A Multimeter is an 8.5-digit resolution instrument designed specifically for metrologists. With superior accuracy and stability over a wide range of measurements the Fluke 8508A Multimeter is designed to serve as a versatile precision measurement tool for calibration laboratories that must meet increasingly stringent measurement uncertainty analysis requirements as well as the need for increased productivity.

Metrologists need to make many diverse measurements as part of their complex duties. To achieve this frequently requires a complex array of instruments. The Fluke 8508A Multimeter provides an extraordinarily broad range of measurement capability. This means you can undertake a wider range of applications, and perform most of your measurement requirements with a single instrument, providing real economies in time and money.

Human error and misunderstanding of measurement setups often have severe impact on measurement accuracy. Such errors are often due to impenetrable or complex user interfaces and lack of user familiarity. The Fluke 8508A Multimeter's clear control structure with Dual ParamatrixTM displays and context sensitive menus provides a transparent, logical and intuitive mechanism with which to interact with the instrument. Consistent with the philosophy of designing a product specifically for metrologists, the command and menu configuration is constructed to ensure rapid, error free access to complex measurement setups. It means that you can focus on getting the best possible results, without needing complex sequential or multi-instrument setups, or the need to perform complex mental arithmetic or math to achieve the desired result. 

Features and Specifications of the Fluke 8508A Multimeter include:

Two Input Option:

As well as conventional front input terminals, the Fluke 8508AMultimeter can optionally be equipped with a duplicate set of rear input terminals. This can be invaluable in making ratio measurements, which are available on both voltage and resistance functions. They also provide the mechanism for forcing the same current through two resistances to improve resistance ratio measurements.
