LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service. The warranty period is three years and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs, and services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in Fluke's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is available only if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain return authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or abnormal condition of operation or handling, including overvoltage failures caused by use outside the product’s specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision..

IR Camera Mode

XW Warning
To prevent personal injury, see emissivity information for actual temperatures. Reflective objects result in lower than actual temperature measurements. These objects pose a burn hazard.
The IR Camera mode uses the ironbow palette. The display shows a center point marker for the temperature measurement. Temperature units of measurement are selected in the Setup Menu. See Setup Menu on page 10 for more information.
A temperature scale is shown on right edge of the display. White is the highest temperature reading. Black is the lowest temperature reading.
The Multimeter has a lens cover to protect the camera lens. Open the lens cover before you capture an image. Close the lens cover when not in the IR Camera mode.
Note
Do not use magnets near the Multimeter as they can interfere with the IR Camera.

Capture an Image

To capture an image from the display:
1. Push (Capture).
2. Push to cancel the capture or to save the
image.
With the Fluke Connect app you can expand your use of these images. See Set Up for Fluke Connect App on page 5 for more information about how to connect to the mobile app.
All IR Cameras need sufficient warm-up time for the most accurate temperature measurements and best image quality. This time can often vary by model and by environmental conditions. Although most IR Cameras are fully warmed up in 3-5 minutes, it is always best to wait a minimum of 10 minutes if the most accurate temperature measurement is very important to your application. When you move an IR Camera between environments with large differences in ambient temperature, more adjustment time can be required.

Volts/Hertz Ratio

The Multimeter can show the ratio of volts to frequency of the ac signal. See Figure 6.
When the Multimeter is set to the Volts/Hz function, the voltage range is set to manual. If the voltage increases to a value larger than the range, the Multimeter shows
OL in the display.
If the voltage drops to less than 5 % of the range, the value shown in the display can be invalid.

Low-Pass Filter

AC measurements use an ac low-pass filter (). The filter blocks unwanted voltages above 1 kHz. See Figure 5. The lower frequency voltages pass with reduced accuracy to the measurement below 1 kHz. The low-pass filter can improve measurement performance on composite sine waves that are typically generated by inverters and variable frequency motor drives.

Resistance Measurements

iFlex
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode junction.
The Multimeter sends a small current through the circuit for resistance measurements. Because the current flows through all possible paths between the probes, the resistance measured is the total resistance of all paths between the probes. See Figure 7.

AC Current Measurements

XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
•
Do not measure ac current in circuits carrying more than 1000 V or 2500 A with the Flexible Current Probe.
•
Do not apply the Flexible Current Probe around or remove from HAZARDOUS LIVE conductors.
•
Do not use the Flexible Current Probe if the inner contrasting insulation color is showing.
•
Take special care during fitting and removal of the Flexible Current Probe. Deenergize the installation under test or wear suitable protective clothing.
To measure:
1. Connect the iFlex Current Probe to the input on the Multimeter. See Figure 10.
2. Center the conductor perpendicularly inside the flexible probe area. If this is not possible, an additional measurement error of ±2 % of reading can occur.
3. Avoid taking measurements close to other current­carrying conductors if possible.
4. Keep the probe coupling more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from the conductor.
5. Observe the ac current value.

Diode Test

XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode junction.
You can test diodes, transistors, silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs), and other semiconductor devices with the Multimeter. The test function sends a current through the semiconductor junction and then measures the voltage drop across the junction. A good silicon junction drops between 0.5 V and
0.8 V.
For a diode test on a diode out-of-circuit, set up the Multimeter as shown in Figure 11. For forward-bias measurements on a semiconductor component, put the red test lead on the positive terminal of the component and put the black test lead on the negative terminal of the component.
In a circuit, a good diode has a forward-bias measurement of
0.5 V to 0.8 V. A reverse-bias measurement includes the
resistance of other pathways between the probes.
A short beep sounds if the diode is good (<0.85 V). A continuous beep sounds if the measurement is ≤0.100 V or short circuit. The display shows OL if the diode is open.

Frequency Measurements

A frequency measurement is a count of the number of times an ac voltage or current signal passes through a threshold point each second.
The Multimeter auto ranges to one of these frequency ranges:
•
2.00 Hz to 99.99 Hz
•
100.0 Hz to 999.9 Hz
Hints for frequency measurements:
•
If a measurement shows 0 Hz or is not stable, the input signal can be below or near a trigger level. A lower range increases the sensitivity of the Multimeter and can usually repair these problems.
•
An input signal with distortion can cause a frequency measurement to be higher than usual. The distortion can cause the frequency counter to sense multiple triggers. A higher voltage range decreases the input sensitivity and can correct this problem. In general, the lowest frequency is the correct one.
Be sure that you use the correct accessory for the measurement type. See Figure 12.

Auto Range and Manual Range

The Multimeter has auto range and manual range.
When you turn on the Multimeter, it is set to auto range and Auto shows in the display. In auto range, the Multimeter selects the lowest range to display the highest available precision (resolution) for the input signal.
To set the Multimeter to manual range:
1. Push once to go to manual range.
Manual shows in the display.
2. Push again to go to the next range. Each push of will cycle the Multimeter through the available ranges for the setting. The display updates to show the range in use.
3. Push and hold >1 second to exit manual range and go to auto range. Or turn the rotary switch to a different function.
Note
The auto/manual range function is disabled for the V/HzAC, mV, continuity, and diode measurements and the MIN MAX AVG record and Hold modes. If you push when in a function that does not have ranges, the Multimeter beeps twice to alert you to an invalid operation.

AC Zero Input Behavior of True-rms Meters

Average responding meters can accurately measure only pure sinewaves. A true-rms meter can accurately measure distorted waveform signals. A minimum input voltage is necessary for true-rms converters to make a correct measurement. Because of this minimum input, true-rms meter measurements are only specified for 1 % to 100 % of range. Non-zero digits that are shown on a true-rms meter when the test leads are open or shorted are possible. This has no effect on the ac measurement accuracy of signals that are >1 % of range.
Unspecified input levels on the lowest ranges are:
•
AC voltage <1 % of 600 mV ac or 6 mV ac.
•
AC current <1 A.
