The FLIR DM93-2 and Fluke 87V are two well-known industrial multimeters built for demanding electrical work. Both provide True RMS accuracy and advanced filtering for noisy VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) applications. The FLIR DM93-2 adds modern features such as Bluetooth connectivity (METERLiNK®), bright LED worklights, and extended thermocouple temperature support. The Fluke 87V remains a solid, field-tested option with strong safety ratings, though it lacks the newer usability features found in the FLIR.

M-Testco certifies both models with NIST-traceable calibration to keep equipment accurate and compliant.

❓ Q&A Section

Q: Which multimeter handles noisy VFD environments better?
A: Both models include advanced filtering for VFDs. The FLIR DM93-2 adds a LoZ mode, giving it an extra layer of safety and flexibility.

Q: Which offers stronger temperature measurement?
A: The FLIR DM93-2 supports a wide thermocouple range (–200 °C to 1200 °C), while the Fluke 87V has a built-in thermometer but with a narrower range.

Q: Which is more rugged?
A: Both are built for industrial use, with CAT IV/CAT III safety ratings. The Fluke 87V has a long record in the field. The FLIR DM93-2 matches industrial durability (IP54, 3 m drop test) while also providing modern usability features.

Q: How do the displays compare?
A: The FLIR DM93-2 includes a bright backlit display, LED worklights, and dual digital readout. The Fluke 87V offers a classic backlit display with analog bar graph and peak capture, but no lighting or connectivity features.

Q: Can M-Testco service both models?
A: Yes. M-Testco provides NIST-traceable certification and calibration for both the FLIR DM93-2 and the Fluke 87V.
