Weighing less than two pounds, the fluke 289 packs more accuracy and convenience into a handheld multimeter than ever before, putting more problem solving power in your hands. The low impedance voltage function prevents false readings due to ghost voltage. The true-rms ac voltage and current accurately measures complex signals or non-linear loads. The selectable ac filter (smoothing mode) helps display a steadier reading when the input signal is changing rapidly or is noisy. The adjustable recording and auto hold thresholds specify a percentage change in the readings that begins a new event.

The 289 features a large 50,000 count, 1/4 VGA display with a white backlight, that allows multiple sets of measurement information to be simultaneously displayed at the same time. The multimeter runs about 100 hours, 200 hours in logging mode, on 6 aa alkaline batteries, or neda 15a IEC lr6. The 289 is multi-lingual interfaced and includes the following: a manual, 6 aa batteries, a set of tl71 silicone test leads, a probe holder, and two ac72 alligator clips.
