LIMITED WARRANTY & 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 one year 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 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 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 or send the product, with a description of the difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination), to the nearest Fluke authorized service center. 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 the failure was caused by misuse, alteration, accident or abnormal condition of operation or handling, 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, WHETHER ARISING FROM BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, RELIANCE OR ANY OTHER 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 of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

Introduction

1-1. Introduction

The Fluke 45 Dual Display Multimeter (also referred to as "the meter") is a 4-1/2-digit (30,000-count) meter with a 5-digit (100,000-count) high resolution mode designed for bench-top, field service, and system applications. The meter uses a dual vacuumfluorescent display, allowing for two types of readings from a single input. Primary and secondary displays show the user-defined readings side by side. Even though the readings are made sequentially, the displays show both readings at all times for ease of comparison.

Some features provided by the meter are:

Computer interface operation via the RS-232 interface (included) or the IEEE-488 interface (optional). The meter is fully programmable for use on the IEEE Standard 488.1 (1987). The meter is also designed in compliance with supplemental standard IEEE-488.2 (1987).

True rms ac

(AC + DC) rms, calculated

Frequency measurements to greater than 1 MHz.

1 µV sensitivity in volts dc

Decibels with variable reference impedance and audio power measurement capability.

A compare mode to determine if a measurement is within, above, or below a designated range.

100,000, 30,000, and 3,000 selectable count resolution, with reading speeds of 2.5, 5, and 20 readings per second (rps), respectively.

Built-in self-tests with closed-case calibration (no internal adjustments).

1-2. Operating Instructions

Full operating instructions are provided in the Fluke 45 Users Manual. Reference to these instructions may be necessary during some of the maintenance and repair procedures presented in this Service Manual. For quick references, an operating instruction summary is presented on the inside of the front cover of the Service Manual. For more detailed information, refer to the Users Manual.

1-3. Options and Accessories

Three options are available. These options can be installed either at the factory or in the field. The following discussions pertain to the field-installable option kits:

The Battery Kit (Option -01K) consists of a rechargeable, 8 V, lead-acid battery, with battery bracket and charger assembly. The battery has a typical operating time of eight hours and is fully operable at ambient temperatures between 0 and 50ºC.

The IEEE-488 Interface Kit (Option -05K) consists of a printed circuit assembly, connecting cables, and mounting hardware. This option provides full programmability, external trigger input, and automated calibration. The IEEE-488 computer interface command set is identical to the RS-232 interface commands wherever possible.

Option -15K combines Options -01K and -05K as a single kit.

1-4. Organization of the Service Manual

This manual focuses on component-level repair of the Fluke 45 Dual Display Multimeter. To that end, manual chapters are often interdependent; effective troubleshooting may require not only reference to the troubleshooting procedures in Chapter 5, but also some understanding of the detailed Theory of Operation in Chapter 2 and some tracing of circuit operation in the Schematic Diagrams presented in Chapter 9.

Often, scanning the table of contents will yield an appropriate place to start using the manual. A comprehensive table of contents is presented at the front of the manual; local tables of contents are also presented at the beginning of each chapter for ease of reference. If you know the topic name, the index at the end of the manual is probably a good place to start.

The following chapter descriptions serve to introduce the manual:

Chapter 1. Introduction and Specifications

Introduces the Fluke 45 Dual Display Multimeter, describing its features, options, and accessories. This chapter also discusses use of the Service Manual and the various conventions used in describing the meter’s circuitry. Finally, a complete set of specifications is presented.

(AC + DC) Voltage Accuracy

Total Measurement Error will not exceed the sum of the separate ac and dc accuracy specifications, plus 1 display count. Refer to the table under "Maximum Allowable AC Voltage While Measuring DC Voltage or (AC + DC) Voltage" located on page 1-6.

Note

When measuring AC + DC, (or any dual display combination of AC and DC) in the fast reading rate, the Fluke 45 may show significant reading errors. This results from a lack of filtering on the DC portion of the measurement for the fast reading rate. To avoid this problem, use only the "slow" and "medium" reading rates for AC + DC or AC and DC combinations.

Maximum Frequency of AC Voltage Input While Measuring AC Current

When the meter makes ac current and ac voltage measurements using the dual display, the maximum frequency of the voltage input is limited to the maximum frequency of the current function. For example, if you are making an ac current measurement on the 10 A range, the maximum frequency of the voltage input must be less than 2 kHz.

*Because of the method used to measure resistance, the 100 MΩ (slow) and 300 MΩ(medium and fast) ranges cannot measure below 3.2 MΩ and 20 MΩ, respectively. "UL" (underload) is shown on the display

for resistances below these nominal points, and the computer interface outputs "+1E-9".

Note

When the meter is set to measure frequency and there is no input signal (i.e., the input terminals are open), the meter may read approximately 25 kHz (rather than zero). This is due to internal capacitive pickup of the inverter power supply into the high-impedance, input circuitry. With source impedance of < 2 kΩ, this pickup will not affect the accuracy or stability of the frequency reading.
