The Fluke 8024B is a portable digital multimeter engineered for electronics troubleshooting and field measurements across DC/AC voltage, current, resistance, and specialized signal analysis. Its dual-slope integration architecture delivers noise-free measurements with a 3½-digit LCD display (1,999 count maximum) featuring autozero and autopolarity. The instrument captures transient signals via peak-hold, detects logic levels up to 250 V AC/DC RMS, and tests continuity with visual and audible indication. Diode testing and temperature measurement (K-type thermocouple, not included) extend diagnostic capability. A single 9 V battery powers the meter for approximately 100 hours with alkaline chemistry, with low-battery indication displayed as “BT” at ≈20% capacity. Overload protection on all ranges and glass fuse input protection ensure safe operation. The compact design—18.0 cm × 8.6 cm × 4.5 cm, 0.48 kg—fits standard tool kits. Safety-featured test leads with finger guards and shrouded connectors meet CAT II measurement category requirements.
