Your John Fluke Model 8024B is a pocket-size digital multimeter that is ideally suited for application in the field, laboratory, shop, or home. Some of the features of your instrument are: FUNCTIONS: All standard VOM measurement functions — ac/dc voltage, ac/dc current, resistance — plus: Conductance: A new multimeter function that allows fast, accurate, noise-free resistance measurements up to 10,000 Mil. Temperature: Used with a K-type thermocouple, this function provides direct display in degrees Celsius for K-type thermocouples. Peak-Hold: Provides short-term memory for capturing the peak value of transient ac or dc signals such as motor starting current. Continuity: Provides an immediate visual and audible indication when continuity is detected (use for passive circuit testing). Level Detector: Senses logic levels and other active signals less than 250V dc or ac rras. Visual and audible indications of the results are provided. RANGE for each function has: Full autopolarity Overrange indication Effective protection from overloads Dual slope integration measurement technique to ensure noise-free measurements OPERATOR CONVENIENCE: 3 I/2-digit liquid crystal display: A high contrast display that can be easily read from across the room. No more worries about bent needles, parallax, etc. Long term calibration stability: 2 years. Easy calibration - few adjustments. Lightweight: .482 kg (17 ounces). Safety Designed Test Leads: Finger guards on the probe and shrouded contacts on connectors reduce the chance of accidental contact with circuit voltages. POWER: Up to 100 hours of continuous operation can be expected from a single, inexpensive, 9-volt, alkaline battery (transistor radio/'calculator type). Low battery voltage is automatically detected and displayed. The low battery indication, BT. appears in the display when about 10 hours of operation remain. Line operation is possible using a Model A81 Battery Eliminator.
