Fluke 15B MAX & 17B MAX

Digital Multimeter
Input Alert™ Audible and Visual Alarm—Increased
New Upgrade of Your Old Partner Safety
Safer, Easier to Use, More Efficient It is a common wrong operation to select voltage and other functions
while the test lead is inserted into the current terminals. In this case,
taking a measurement directly may blow the fuse in the multimeter.
The 15B MAX and 17B MAX feature Input Alert™, an audible and
visual alarm to alert users in the event of wrong operation, avoiding
productivity loss and safety issues caused by fuse blown.

Wrong Operation Scenario

Standard Test Leads with Fine Tips - Insight

Standard test leads with 1mm tips 2 can help engineers make accurate
measurements on circuit boards and in narrow spaces.

Streamlined test leads feature texture enhancing the grip, and the
selected tip material is rugged and durable. The test lead cap can cover
