The Fluke 374 FC/375 FC/376 FC (the Product) measures true-rms ac current and voltage, dc
current and voltage, inrush current, resistance, and capacitance. The 375 FC and 376 FC also
measure frequency and dc millivolts. The detachable iFlex (Flexible Current Probe) that is
included with the 376 FC (optional with the 374 FC and 375 FC) expands the measurement range
to 2500 A ac. The Flexible Current Probe provides increased display flexibility and allows
measurements of awkward sized conductors and improved wire access. The illustrations in this
manual show the 376 FC.
A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the user. A Caution
identifies conditions and procedures that can cause damage to the Product or the equipment
under test.
Symbols used on the Product and in this manual are explained in Table 1.
XWWarning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Carefully read all instructions.
• Read all safety information before you use the Product.
• Use the Product only as specified, or the protection supplied by the Product can
be compromised.
•Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or wet
environments.
• Do not use and disable the Product if it is damaged.
• Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
• Use only correct measurement category (CAT), voltage, and amperage rated
probes, test leads, and adapters for the measurement.
•Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of the lowest rated
individual component of a Product, probe, or accessory.
•Comply with local and national safety codes. Use personal protective equipment
(approved rubber gloves, face protection, and flame-resistant clothes) to prevent
shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
•Before each use, examine the Product. Look for cracks or missing pieces of the
clamp housing or output cable insulation. Also look for loose or weakened
components. Carefully examine the insulation around the jaws.
•Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads for damaged
insulation and measure a known voltage.
• Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.
• Do not measure current while the test leads are in the input jacks.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the terminals or between each
terminal and earth ground.
•De-energize the circuit or wear personal protective equipment in compliance with
local requirements before you apply or remove the Flexible Current Probe.
• Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the Product operates correctly.
• Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or amperage
ratings.
•The battery door must be closed and locked before you operate the Product.
For safe operation and maintenance of the Product:
• Repair the Product before use if the battery leaks.
• Have an approved technician repair the Product.
WCaution
To avoid possible damage to the Product or to equipment under test:
• Use the proper jacks, function, and range for the measurement application.
• Clean the case and accessories with a damp cloth and mild detergent only.
Do not use abrasives or solvents.
Note
The Measurement Category (CAT) and voltage rating of any combination of test
probe, test probe accessory, current clamp accessory, and the Product is the
LOWEST rating of any individual component.
Measurement Category III is
applicable to test and measuring
circuits connected to the distribution
part of the building’s low-voltage
MAINS installation.
Conforms to relevant Australian
EMC standards.
This product complies with the WEEE Directive marking requirements. The affixed
label indicates that you must not discard this electrical/electronic product in domestic
household waste. Product Category: With reference to the equipment types in the
WEEE Directive Annex I, this product is classed as category 9 "Monitoring and
Control Instrumentation" product. Do not dispose of this product as unsorted
municipal waste.
)
Measurement Category IV is
applicable to test and measuring
circuits connected at the source of
the building’s low-voltage MAINS
installation.
Certified by CSA Group to North
American safety standards.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
International ...................................... IEC 61326-1: Portable, Electromagnetic Environment,
Group 1: Equipment has intentionally generated and/or uses conductively-coupled radio
frequency energy that is necessary for the internal function of the equipment itself.
Class A: Equipment is suitable for use in all establishments other than domestic and
those directly connected to a low-voltage power supply network that supplies buildings
used for domestic purposes. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring
electromagnetic compatibility in other environments due to conducted and radiated
disturbances. Emissions that exceed the levels required by CISPR 11 can occur when the
equipment is connected to a test object.
Measurement uncertainty assumes centralized primary conductor at optimum position, no
external electrical or magnetic field, and within operating temperature range.
