Product Overview: Fluke 17B MAX Digital Multimeter
The 17B MAX is an upgraded replacement model for the 17B+, which has been discontinued. The new multimeter has been upgraded with the following six features:
- New - Misoperation audible and visual alarms to avoid blowing fuses
- New - Standard with two pairs of regular & extra sharp pens for more scenarios (KIT model)
- New - Arbitrary key wake-up to improve testing efficiency
- NEW - Voltage readings upgraded to 6000 words
- New - Capacitance range upgraded to 2mF
- Added - Beeps increased

Misoperation audible and visual alarms Input Alert™
- Improve efficiency: Reduce the efficiency of field testing caused by misuse by frontline staff, and even safety accidents;
- Cost Savings: Fewer fuses to replace;
- Alarm effect by flashing lights in noisy and dark environments.

1mm Extra Tip Pen
- During board testing, the 1mm tip can accurately test to the device pins to avoid short circuits;
- The diameter of the meter pen is 20% thinner than the ordinary meter pen, which can be leaned closer to meet the needs of testing in a narrow space;
- Selected nib material, sturdy and durable, the meter pen has been rigorously tested, the nib is not easy to bend;
- The pen cap has a protective and anti-loss design;
- Only 02 and KIT models come standard with an extra-tip pen.

Wake up with any key
- No need to turn the knob to OFF to activate a dormant meter, making testing more efficient;
- Avoid dialing back into the wrong gear.
