How loud is the Min/Max beeper on Fluke multimeters?

Jan 26, 2005 1 Replies

Fluke DMM's have a "new Min or Max reading" audible alert. Can this alert/beep be heard across a dining room conversation?



Another question: Is the loudness of this alert the "same" on all Fluke multimeter models?


The person who designed the first Fluke handheld meters had lousy hearing, especially at high frequencies. Therefore, the beeper was designed for a lower frequency than is customarily used, and sort of loud. Whether this philosophy has continued into the latest designs, or not, I couldn't tell you.
