Indus Megamart supplies this instrument across India to support plant engineers, instrumentation teams, and system integrators handling commissioning and troubleshooting tasks. With increasing integration of automation systems, tools like the Fluke 787B Process Multimeter are valued for reducing dependency on multiple devices during field diagnostics.
What is Fluke 787B Process Multimeter
The Fluke 787B Process Multimeter is a combined digital multimeter and loop calibrator designed for industrial process environments. It enables technicians to measure electrical parameters while simultaneously sourcing or simulating process signals, reducing the need for multiple instruments during troubleshooting, maintenance, and calibration of control systems.
In process industries, technicians often switch between a standard digital multimeter and a loop calibrator. The Fluke 787B Process Multimeter integrates both functionalities into a single handheld device. This reduces tool handling complexity during field work, especially in distributed control systems (DCS), PLC loops, and instrumentation panels.
It supports both electrical measurement tasks (such as voltage, resistance, and continuity) and process signal operations like current loop sourcing and simulation. This dual capability is particularly relevant in plants where analog 4–20 mA loops remain a core part of process control infrastructure.
Applications of Fluke 787B Process Multimeter
• Loop Calibration in Process Plants
Used for verifying and adjusting current loops in instrumentation circuits. It helps ensure transmitters and controllers maintain accurate signal output.
• Troubleshooting Control Systems
Engineers use it to identify signal inconsistencies between field devices and PLC/DCS inputs.
• Commissioning of Instrumentation Systems
During project startup, the device supports signal injection and validation of control loops.
• Maintenance of Analog Transmitters
Technicians test pressure, temperature, and flow transmitters by simulating input signals.
• Electrical Diagnostics in Hybrid Systems
In facilities where electrical and process systems overlap, it reduces the need for multiple test instruments.
• Field Service for OEM Equipment
Service engineers use it for quick diagnostics in packaged equipment like skids and modular plants.
