Introduction
The Fluke 1587 FC, 1587, 1587T, and 1577 are
battery-powered, true-RMS insulation multimeters (the
Product or Meter) with a 6000-count display. Although this
manual describes the operation of all models, all
illustrations and examples assume use of Model 1587 FC.
The Meter measures or tests:
• AC / DC voltage and current
• Resistance
• Continuity
• Insulation resistance
• Voltage and current frequency
• Diodes (all 1587 models)
• Temperature (all 1587 models)
• Capacitance (all 1587 models)
The 1587 FC supports the Fluke Connect™ Wireless
System (may not be available in all regions). Fluke
Connect™ is a system that wirelessly connects your Meter
with an app on your smartphone or tablet. The app shows
the Meter measurement on your smartphone or tablet
screen. You can save these measurements with Fluke
Connect™ to share with your team.
