Fluke T5

[Alex Beckett]

Hi.

I'm looking at changing my electrical testing equipment. At the moment I use a cheap multi meter from maplin's that ive had for years, although this isn't really up to the job and is quite bulky.

I primarily use it for testing boilers and heat pumps so need to be able to measure quite a wide range of resistance and amps etc for thermisters, temp sensors, coils and such like.

Has anybody used/owned one of these Fluke T5's if so are they up to the job and able to measure the range of resistance and 'ampage' that say a 115 could?

Thanks
Alex.

Hi, I use the T5-600 and I love it. So simple to use and does everthing I need it to do. Had it for 7+ yrs and would recommend it to any engineer.

Hi Darren,

Thanks for the reply.
Do you use the T5 for boiler diagnostics? It has the range for measuring the very low amount of resistance/micro amps etc that some boilers require?

Many thanks?
Alex.

I use the 116.

It does all I want apart from heavier amp stuff but I've got other gear for that.

The 116 is aimed at HVAC folk and well worth the money !
