ScopeMeter® Test Tool 190 Series II

Users Manual

Warning

To avoid electrical shock or fire:

• Use only the Fluke power supply, Model

BC190 (Power Adapter).

• Before use, check that the selected/indicated

range on the BC190 matches the local line power voltage and frequency.

• For the BC190/808 and BC190/820 universal

Power Adapters only use line cords that comply with the local safety regulations.

Note:

To accommodate connection to various line power sockets, the BC190/808 and BC190/820 universal Power Adapters are equipped with a male plug that must be connected to a line cord appropriate for local use. Since the adapter is isolated, the line cord does not need to be equipped with a terminal for connection to protective ground. Since line cords with a protective grounding terminal are more commonly available you might consider using these anyhow.

Warning

To avoid electrical shock or fire if a product input is connected to more than 42 V peak (30 Vrms) or 60 V dc:

• Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads

and adapters supplied with the product, or indicated by Fluke as suitable for the Fluke 190 Series II ScopeMeter® Test Tool series.

• Before use, inspect voltage probes, test l eads

and accessories for mechanical damage and replace when damaged.

• Remove all probes, test leads and

accessories that are not in use.

• Always connect the power adapter first to the

ac outlet before connecting it to the product.

• Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac

peak, or 60 V dc.

• Do not connect the ground spring (figure 1,

item d) to voltages higher than 42 V peak (30 Vrms) from earth ground.

• When using the ground reference lead with

any of the probes, make sure that the black isolation sleeve (Figure 1, item. 10e) is over the probe tip.

Safety Information: Read First

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage,

between the terminal s or between each terminal and earth ground.

• Do not apply input voltages above the rating

of the instrument. Use caution when using 1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage will be directly transm itted to the product.

• Do not use exposed metal BNC or banana

plug connectors. Fluke offers cables with plastic, safety designed BNC connector s suitable for the ScopeMeter® Test Tool product, see Chapter 7 ‘Optional accessories’.

• Do not insert metal objects into connectors.

• Use the product only as specified, or the

protection supplied by the product can be compromised.

• Carefully read all instruction s.

• Do not use the product if it operates

incorrectly.

• Do not use the product or i t s accessories in

case of any damage.

• Disable the product or its accesso r ies in case

of any damage.

• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the

probes.

• Use only correct measurement category

(CAT), voltage, and current rated probes, t est 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.

• Do not use the product around explosive gas,

vapor, or in damp or wet environments.

• Measure a known voltage first to make sure

that the product operates correctly.

• Examine the case before you use the product.

Look for cracks or missing plastic. Car ef ully look at the insulation around the terminals.

• Do not work alone.

• 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 haz ardous live conductors are exposed.

• The battery door must be closed and locked

before you operate the product.

ScopeMeter® Test Tool 190 Series II

Users Manual

• Do not operate the product with covers

removed or the case open. Hazardous voltage exposure is possible.

• Remove the input signals before you clean

the product.

• Use only specified replacement parts.

Voltage ratings that are mentioned in the warnings are given as limits for “working voltage”. They represent V ac rms (50-60 Hz) for ac sinewave applications and as V dc for dc applications.

Measurement Category IV refers to the overhead or underground utility service of an installation. Measurement Category III refers to distribution level and fixed installation circuits inside a building. Measurement Category II refers to local level, which is applicable for appliances and portable equipment.

The terms ‘Isolated’ or ‘Electrically floating’ are used in this manual to indicate a measurement in which the product input BNC is connected to a voltage different from earth ground.

The isolated input connectors have no exposed metal and are fully insulated to protect against electrical shock.

The BNC jacks can independently be connected to a voltage above earth ground for isolated (electrically floating) measurements and are rated up to 1000 Vrms CAT III and 600 Vrms CAT IV above earth gr ound.

If Safety Features are Impaired

Use of the product in a manner not specified may impair the protection provided by the equipment.

Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine the test leads for damaged insulation, exposed metal, or if the wear indicator shows.

Whenever it is likely that safety has been impaired, the product must be turned off and disconnected from t he li ne power. The matter should then be referred to qualified personnel. Safety is likely to be impaired if, for example, the product fails to perform the intended measur em ents or shows visible damage.

ALL INPUTS ISOLATED

Input Connections

Look at the top of the test tool. The test tool has four safety BNC jack signal inputs (models 190–xx4), or two safety BNC jack inputs and two safety 4-mm banana jack inputs (models 190-xx2). See Figure 5.

Isolated input architecture allows independent floating measurements with each input.

ALL INPUTS ISOLATED

Figure 5. Measurement Connections

Making Input Connections

To make scope measurements connect the red v ol tage probe to input A, the blue voltage probe to input B, the grey voltage probe to input C and the green voltage probe to input D. Connect the short ground leads of each voltage probe to its own reference potential (See Figure 6).

For Meter measurements refer to the applicabl e s ection in this chapter.

 Warning

To avoid electrical shock use the insulation sleeve (Figure 1 item e)) if you use the probes without the hook clip or the ground spring.

− To maximally benefit from having independently isolated floating inputs and to avoid problems caused by improper use, read Chapter 6: “Tips”.

− For an accurate indication of the measured signal, it is necessary to match the probe to the test tool’s input channel. See section ‘Calibrating the voltage Probes’ in Chapter 7.
