Fluke 902 FC Review 2024<\/h2>\n\n

Construction<\/h3>\n

One of the outstanding features of all Fluke multimeters is that they are robustly constructed and can last long. Nevertheless, Fluke multimeters made in the USA are more durable than the units that are made in China.\"Fluke<\/p>\n

This particular unit is sturdily made and will defy the tough conditions that electricians face at work. In addition, the jaw helps the user to attach the device so that they can work without holding the unit.<\/p>\n

Powerful and fast<\/h3>\n

This digital multimeter runs on 2 AA alkaline batteries. This means that it will run for several hours before having to change the batteries. Also, you won\u2019t have to worry when you have spare batteries as you can always continue with your tests.<\/p>\n

The Fluke 902 FC is also speedy and accurate in performance. Its resistance is up to 60 k\u2126. Therefore, you won\u2019t record wrong tests, and this will help you know how your HVAC device is performing when you want to carry out repairs or maintenance work.<\/p>\n

Display<\/h3>\n

The display screen is 5″, which is slightly wider than Fluke 325 Clamp meters<\/a>. The display on this unit is not very important as you can still use the app on your phone to get the results from the test being undertaken. But don\u2019t overlook it as sometimes the Bluetooth wireless connection may not be very stable to submit results without interference. The display is backlit and very easy to use. So, you can even carry out tests in poorly lit areas.<\/p>\n

To use the wireless connection on this gadget, you will have to download the Fluke app and link it with your mobile phone. Afterward, you can immediately trend and monitor measurements live on your phone for better troubleshooting outcomes.<\/p>\n

Functions<\/h3>\n

Fluke 902 FC multimeter is a very versatile unit as it performs a wide range of functions such as DC measurements, AC measurements, capacitance measurements, temperature measurements, and much more. With such features, you won\u2019t have to carry multiple tools as this single device can perform a wide range of functions. But if you want a more advanced system, you have to choose Fluke 289 professional multimeter.<\/a><\/p>\n

Besides, the unit is rated as CAT III 600V\/CAT IV 300V. Thus, it can perform important measurements of HVAC appliances.<\/p>\n

Wireless connection<\/h3>\n

The device features a wireless Fluke Connect system. The wireless connection is not only convenient to use but as well as safe. All you need to do is connect the meter to your mobile phone via Bluetooth, then clamp your DMM around a conductor and walk up to 30 meters from the measurement point. This means you can be in two places at once, and you will reduce the dangers of arc flash in case anything goes wrong.<\/p>\n

Intuitive user-interface<\/h3>\n

This is one of the most user-friendly units on the market. It has an ergonomic and compact design that is easy to handle. It also fits in tight places; hence can be used to test different electronic components. You don\u2019t need to hold the device in your hands while performing different tests, as the Bluetooth connection allows for a wireless operation to take place. It is recommended that the user wear protective equipment when using the device.<\/p>\n

Price<\/h3>\n

When compared to other meters with similar features and functions, this unit is favorably priced. However, if you\u2019re not an HVAC electrician and don\u2019t need some features that it offers, buying this unit will prove to be somehow costly than the Fluke 117\u00a0true RMS multimeter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ensure that this unit has the features that you want and not just buying it for the sake. For example, if you\u2019re looking for a more basic multimeter, then this unit may not be for you.<\/p>\n

Warranty<\/h3>\n

Fluke offers a warranty on all of its multimeters, and the Fluke 902 is no exception. This true RMS HVAC clamp multimeter comes with a 3-year warranty, which is enough time to find out if the DMM is working as recommended or not. Also, in case of a defect in material or workmanship, the user can still return the device for repair or replacement.<\/p>\n
