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

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

Safety Information
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.
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• 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.
• Use this Product indoors only.
• 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.
• Use only the mains power cord and connector approved for
the voltage and plug configuration in your country and rated
for the Product.
• Replace the mains power cord if the insulation is damaged
or if the insulation shows signs of wear.
• Make sure the ground conductor in the mains power cord is
connected to a protective earth ground. Disruption of the
protective earth could put voltage on the chassis that could
cause death.
• Do not put the Product where access to the mains power
cord is blocked.
• Use caution when you install and remove probes and
inserts from the Product. They can be hot.
• Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or
60 V dc.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the
terminals or between each terminal and earth ground.
• Do not touch the well access surface of the instrument.
• Do not turn off the product at block temperatures higher
than 100 °C. Select a SETPOINT less than 100 °C and let the
instrument to cool before turning it off.
• Use the correct terminals, function, and range for
measurements.
2
• Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test
leads for damaged insulation, exposed metal, or if the wear
indicator shows. Check test lead continuity.
• Do not touch the probes to a voltage source when the test
leads are connected to the current terminals.

Safety Information
• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of
the lowest rated individual component of a Product, probe,
or accessory.

Placement
Put the Calibrator on a clean, flat surface. Make sure the Calibrator is 150 mm (6 inches)
away from all objects. For best results, choose a location to set up the Calibrator where
room temperature changes are minimum.
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Do not operate Product in orientations other than upright. A
fire hazard can be made if the Product is put on its side.
• Do not remove Inserts when the Product shows
temperatures more than 50 °C.
• Do not operate near flammable materials.
• Do not touch the well access surface of the Product.
• Do not turn off the Product when the temperature is above
100 °C. Set a SETPOINT temperature below 100 °C and let
the Product cool.

Caution
For safe operation and maintenance of the Product:
• Energize the Product for a 2-hour dry-out period before use, if the
Product was:
o In transport
o In a humid or semi-humid storage environment
o Not energized for more than 10 days
If the product is wet or has been in a wet environment, take
necessary measures to remove moisture prior to applying
power.
• Always operate this Product on a flat, level, stable surface.
• Do not store the Product at temperatures above 50 °C. The
Product has a refrigeration system and contains gasses
under pressure.
• Do not turn the Product upside down. The inserts will fall
out.
• To prevent damage to the cooling system, do not tilt the
Product on its side or upside down while the Product is
operating.

Security and Password
The Calibrator has two user-level access security levels (Low and High) to protect from
undesired changes to the settings (see Table 8). The Calibrator comes from the factory
with the security level set to High and a default password of “1234”.
If the password is not available, the information can still be viewed. To view the
information without the password, push twice or push when prompted for the
password. The information is then shown on the screen, but cannot be changed.
Note
The Calibrator does not have a password reset function. If the password is
lost, contact Fluke Calibration for password reset assistance.
