Technical Data
Fluke 116
HVAC Multimeter
with Temperature and Microamps
Features include:
• Built in thermometer for HVAC applications
• Microamps to test flame sensors
• LoZ: helps prevent false readings due to ghost voltage
• Large white LED backlight to work in poorly lit areas
• Resistance, continuity, frequency and capacitance
• Min/Max/Average with elapsed time to record signal
fluctuations
• Compact ergonomic design for one-handed operation
• Compatible with optional magnetic hanger (ToolPak™)
• CAT III 600 V safety rated
Compact true-rms meter for
HVAC troubleshooting
The Fluke 116 was specifically designed
for the HVAC professional. It has every-
thing needed in an HVAC meter including
temperature and microamp measure-
ments to quickly troubleshoot problems
with HVAC equipment and flame sensors.

Notes:
1 All ac voltage ranges except Auto-V/LoZ are specified from 1 % to 100 % of range. Auto-V/LoZ is specified from 0.0 V.
Because inputs below 1 % of range are not specified, it is normal for this and other true-rms meters to display non-
zero readings when the test leads are disconnected from a circuit or are shorted together. For volts, crest factor of ≤ 3
at 4000 counts, decreasing linearly to 1.5 at full scale. AC volts is ac-coupled. Auto-V LoZ, and ac mV are dc-coupled.
2 Temperature uncertainty (accuracy) does not include the error of the thermocouple probe.
3 Frequency is ac coupled, 5 Hz to 50 kHz for ac voltage. Frequency is dc coupled, 45 Hz to 5 kHz for ac current.
