The Fluke 116 is a True-RMS HVAC/R multimeter purpose-built for field troubleshooting of heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems. It combines essential electrical measurements with integrated temperature sensing and microamp capability for flame sensor diagnostics. The meter’s compact ergonomic design enables one-handed operation, while its large white LED backlight ensures visibility in low-light service environments.
