Fluke 8845A/8846A 6.5 Digit Precision Multimeter

Overview

6.5 Digit precision bench multimeter with a VFD dot matrix display and primary resolution listed as 6.5 Digits. Physical footprint is 88 x 217 x 297 mm (3.46 x 8.56 x 11.7 in) and weight is 3.6 kg (8.0 lbs). Safety ratings: Designed to comply with IEC 61010-1:2000-1, UL 61010-1A1, CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 61010.1, CAT I 1000V/CAT II 600V. Warranty: Three years. Calibration documentation: 17025 accredited report of calibration included. Measurement ranges, accuracies and resolutions (8845A where noted): - V DC: 100 mV to 1000 V; accuracy 8845A: 0.0035 + 0.0005 (% measurement + % of range); max. resolution 100 nV. - V AC: 8845A: 100 mV to 750 V; accuracy 8845A: 0.06 + 0.03 (% measurement + % of range); max. resolution 100 nV. - A DC: 100 μA to 10 A; accuracy 0.050 + 0.005 (% measurement + % of range); max. resolution 100 pA. - A AC: 8845A: 10 mA to 10 A; accuracy 0.10 + 0.04 (% measurement + % of range); max. resolution 8845A: 10 nA. - Resistance: 8845A: 100 Ω to 100 MΩ; accuracy 8845A: 0.010 + 0.001 (% measurement + % of range); max. resolution 8845A: 100 μΩ; 2 x 4 Wire resistance supported. - Frequency/period: 8845A: 3 Hz to 300 kHz; accuracy 0.01%; max. resolution 1 μHz. Additional measurement capabilities include continuity/diode test and dB/dBm. Advanced measurement and analysis features: NULL, Min/Max/Average, Std Dev, statistics/histogram, trendplot, and limit test. Intended as a bench reference instrument for laboratory and manufacturing test environments where precision DC/AC voltage, current and resistance measurements are required. The 6.5 Digit resolution, 100 nV voltage resolution and 100 μΩ resistance resolution suit component characterization, device verification and low-level signal measurements in production engineering and R&D labs. The instrument supports automated test and data-logging workflows via RS 232, IEE-488.2, Ethernet and USB (with optional adaptor), enabling integration into ATE systems and manufacturing test stations that use limit test and trendplot functions for pass/fail and statistical process control. The included 17025 accredited report of calibration and three-year warranty support use in calibration labs and quality assurance environments. Range/accuracy combinations (for example: up to 1000 V DC, 750 V AC, and up to 10 A) make the unit applicable for functional testing of power electronics, production-level electrical validation and DUT verification where both high resolution and automated interfacing are required. Compact bench footprint and 3.6 kg (8.0 lbs) weight facilitate placement on instrument racks or test benches.
