Safety Information

"Warning" and "Caution" Statements

A “XW Warning" identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or death.

A "W Caution" identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Meter, the equipment under test, or cause
permanent loss of data.

XWWarnings and Precautions

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:

• Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by

the Meter might be impaired.

• Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is

not operating properly.

• Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements.

• Verify the Meter's operation by measuring a known voltage. If in doubt, have

the Meter serviced.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on Meter, between

terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.

• Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.

These voltages pose a shock hazard.

• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before

testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.

• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.

• When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers behind the finger

guards.

• Remove test leads from Meter before opening the battery door or Meter

case.

• Comply with local and national safety requirements when working in

hazardous locations.

• Use proper protective equipment, as required by local or national authorities

when working in hazardous areas.

• Avoid working alone.

• Use only the replacement fuse specified or the protection may be impaired.

• Check the test leads for continuity before use. Do not use if the readings are

high or noisy.

[2] All ac ranges except Auto-V LoZ are specified from 1 % to 100% of range. Auto-V LoZ is specified from 0.0 V. Because inputs below 1 % of range

are not specified, it is normal for this and other true-rms meters to display non-zero readings when the test leads are disconnected from a circuit
or are shorted together. For volts, crest factor of ≤3 at 4000 counts, decreasing linearly to 1.5 at full scale. For amps, crest factor of ≤3. AC volts is
ac-coupled. Auto-V LoZ, AC mV, AC μamps, and AC amps are dc-coupled.

Performance Tests

2. Warm up the calibrator as required by its specifications.

3. Allow the temperature of the UUT to stabilize at room temperature (23 °C ± 5 °C [73 °F ± 9 °F] ).

4. Check the fuses and Battery, and replace them if necessary. Refer to “Testing the Fuses”, and

“Replacing the Battery and Fuse”.

To verify the accuracy of the DMM functions, do the following:

1. Connect the Calibrator to the VΩ and COM input terminals on the Meter.

2. Turn the rotary switch to the function listed in each step of Table 3.

3. Apply the input level for each step listed in Table 3.

4. Compare the reading on the Meter display with the Display Reading in Table 3.

5. If the display reading falls outside of the range shown in Table 3, the Meter requires calibration

adjustment or repair.

Testing Temperature (116 only)

Connect the K-type thermocouple to the temperature input of the Meter and temperature calibrator. To ensure an
accurate measurement, the Meter and the thermocouple connector must be at the same temperature. After connecting
the thermocouple to the Meter, allow the junctions to stabilize before recording the displayed reading. This can take
several minutes, depending on temperature gradients.

Testing the VoltAlert Function (117 only)

Use the following procedure to verify that VoltAlert functions properly.

Note

• Ensure the instrument is REMOVED from the holster prior to performing the test.

• Keep the meter away from electrical noise sources during the tests, i.e., florescent

lights, dimmable lights, motors, etc.. These sources can trigger VoltAlert and
invalidate the test.

• It may be necessary in steps 4 and 8 below to slightly adjust the Meter’s position for

maximum signal strength, in order to get the Meter’s beeper to sound continuously.

Refer to Figure 4 while performing the following steps.

1. Select the VoltAlert function, and verify that “Hi” is on the display. Verify that the beeper is silent and

the red LED is off.

2. Connect a double banana plug to the output voltage terminals of the calibrator (Fluke 5500A or

equivalent).

3. Set the calibrator output to 10 V at 60 Hz.

4. Hold the Meter so that the Meter’s top is vertically and horizontally centered and contacting the banana

plug’s Hi terminal. Verify that the Meter’s beeper is on continuously, and the red LED, at the top of the
display, lights up.

5. Place the calibrator in standby mode and verify that the beeper is now silent and the red LED is off.

6. Press the q(display should indicate ‘Lo’ range).

7. Set the calibrator’s output to 30 V at 60 Hz.

8. Hold the Meter so that the top is vertically and horizontal centered to the banana plug’s Hi terminal.

Verify that the Meter’s beeper is sounding continuously and the red LED at the top of the display lights.

9. Return the calibrator to standby mode and verify the Meter’s beeper is silent and the red LED is off.

Calibration Adjustment

The Meter features closed-case calibration adjustment using known reference sources. The Meter measures the
applied reference source, calculates correction factors, and stores the correction factors in nonvolatile memory.

The following sections present the features and Meter pushbutton functions available during the Calibration
Adjustment Procedure. Should the Meter fail any of the performance tests, perform the Calibration Adjustment
Procedure.

Use the following steps to view the Meter’s calibration counter.

1. While pressing K, turn the rotary switch from OFF to Ω function. The Meter should display

“ZCAL”.

2. Press g once to view the calibration counter. For example, “n001”

erc013f.emf

3. Turn the rotary switch to OFF.

Calibration Adjustment Password

To start the Calibration Adjustment Procedure, the correct 4-digit password must be entered. The default password is
“1234”. The password can be changed or reset to the default as described in following paragraphs.

Changing the Password

Use the following steps to change the Meter’s password:

1. While pressing K, turn the rotary switch from OFF to Ω function. The Meter should display

“ZCAL”.

2. Press g once to see the calibration counter.

3. Press g again to start the password entry. The Meter displays “?>>>”

4. The Meter buttons indicated below represent the numbers 1 through 5 when entering or changing the

password:

K = 1 M = 2 q = 3 g = 4 Q = 5

5. Press 4 buttons to enter the current password. If changing the password for the first time, enter

K (1), M (2), q (3), and g (4).

6. Press qto change the password. The Meter displays “////” if the entered password is correct. If the

password is not correct, the Meter emits a double beep, displays “?>>>”, and the password must be
entered again. Repeat step 5.

7. Press the 4 buttons of the new password.

8. Press g to store the new password.

Restoring the Default Password

If the calibration password is forgotten, the default password (1234) can be manually restored using the following
steps:

XW Warning

To avoid electric shock or personal injury, remove the test leads and any input
signal before removing the Meter’s back case.

1. Remove the Meter’s back case. Leave the pca in the top case.

2. Apply 9.0V across the battery contacts (XBT1) + and (XBT2) – on the back of the PCA. See Figure 5.

3. Turn the rotary switch from OFF to any on position.

4. Short across the S7 CAL keypad on the back of the PCA. See Figure 5. The Meter should beep. The

default password is now restored.

5. Remove the 9.0V supply and replace the Meter’s back case.

Calibration Information

Meter Buttons Used in the Calibration Steps

When performing the Calibration Adjustment Procedure, the Meter buttons behave as follows. This may be of help
determining why a calibration step is not accepted and for determining the input value without referring to Table 4.

Press and hold K to show the measured value. The measured value is not calibrated so it may not match the
input value. This is normal.

Press and hold M to display the required input value.

Press g to store the calibration value and advance to the next step. This button is also used to exit calibration
mode after the calibration adjustment sequence is complete.

Press Q to toggle the backlight on and off.

Calibration Adjustment Procedure

To adjust the Meter’s calibration, use the following steps. If the Meter is turned off before completion of the
adjustment procedure, the calibration constants are not changed.

1. While holding down K, turn the rotary switch from OFF to Ω function. The Meter should display

“ZCAL”.

2. Press g once to see the calibration counter.

3. Press g again to start the password entry. The Meter displays “?>>>”.

4. Press the 4 button password.

5. Press g to go to the first calibration step. The Meter displays “C/01” if the password is correct. If the

password is not correct, the Meter emits a double beep, displays “?>>>” and the password must be
entered again. Repeat step 4.

6. Apply the input value listed for each calibration adjustment step. For each step, select the rotary switch

position and apply the input to the terminals as indicated in the Table 4.

Note

Some adjustment steps require additional wait time after the calibrator settles, as noted in
Table 4.

7. After each input value is applied, press g to accept the value and proceed to the next step (C/02 and

so forth).

Notes

After pressing g, wait until the step number advances before changing the calibrator
source or turning the Meter’s rotary knob. Some adjustment steps can take up to several
seconds to execute before moving to the next step.

If the knob is not in the correct position for a given step, the meter will flash the unit
annunciators until the knob is put in a valid position. The keys that show the reading and
required input values are not allowed until the knob is correct.

Likewise, if the rotary switch is not in the correct position or the measured value is not within
the anticipated range of the input value, the Meter will emit a double beep and will not
continue to the next step when g is pressed.

14

8. After the final step, the display shows “End” to indicate that the calibration adjustment is complete.

Press g to return to meter mode.
