Lifetime Limited Warranty
Each Fluke 20, 70, 80, 170 and 180 Series DMM will be free from defects in material and workmanship for its lifetime. As used herein, ÒlifetimeÓ is
defined as seven years after Fluke discontinues manufacturing the product, but the warranty period shall be at least ten years from the date of
purchase. This warranty does not cover fuses, disposable batteries, damage from neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident or abnormal
conditions of operation or handling, including failures caused by use outside of the productÕs specifications, or normal wear and tear of mechanical
components. This warranty covers the original purchaser only and is not transferable.
For ten years from the date of purchase, this warranty also covers the LCD. Thereafter, for the lifetime of the DMM, Fluke will replace the LCD for a
fee based on then current component acquisition costs.
To establish original ownership and prove date of purchase, please complete and return the registration card accompanying the product, or register
your product on http://www.fluke.com. Fluke will, at its option, repair at no charge, replace or refund the purchase price of a defective product
purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet and at the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to charge for importation costs
of repair/replacement parts if the product purchased in one country is sent for repair elsewhere.
If the product is defective, 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. Fluke will pay return transportation for product repaired or replaced in-warranty. Before making any non-warranty repair, Fluke will estimate
cost and obtain authorization, then invoice you for repair and return transportation.
THIS WARRANTY IS YOUR ONLY REMEDY. NO OTHER WARRANTIES, SUCH AS FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. 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. AUTHORIZED RESELLERS ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO EXTEND ANY DIFFERENT WARRANTY ON FLUKEÕS BEHALF. Since some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of an implied warranty or of incidental or consequential damages, this limitation of liability may not apply to you. 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.

Introduction
Introduction
WWarning
Read "Safety Information" before you use the meter.
Except where noted, the descriptions and instructions in this manual apply to Series III Models 83, 85, 87, and 87/E multimeters. Model 87 is shown in all illustrations.
Safety Information
This meter complies with:
•EN61010.1:1993
•ANSI/ISA S82.01-1994
•CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 1010.1-92
•1000 V Overvoltage Category III, Pollution Degree 2
•UL3111-1
Use the meter only as specified in this manual, otherwise the protection provided by the meter may be impaired.
In this manual, a Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazards to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the meter or the equipment under test.
International symbols used on the meter and in this manual are explained in Table 1.
WWarning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
•Do not use the meter if it is damaged. Before you use the meter, inspect the case. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
•Make sure the battery door is closed and latched before you operate the meter.
•Replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator (M) appears.
•Remove test leads from the meter before you open the battery door.
•Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before you use the meter.
•Do not use the meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the meter serviced.
•Do not operate the meter around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.

80 Series III
Users Manual
•Use only a single 9 V battery, properly installed in the meter case, to power the meter.
•When servicing the meter, use only specified replacement parts.
Caution
To avoid possible damage to the meter or to the equipment under test, follow these guidelines:
•Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
•Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.
•Before measuring current, check the meter’s fuses.
To protect yourself, use the following guidelines:
•Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
•When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
•Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead. When you disconnect test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.
•Avoid working alone.
•When measuring current, turn off circuit power before connecting the meter in the circuit. Remember to place the meter in series with the circuit.
