Measuring Circuit
Category CAT III:
In addition to category II, the measuring circuit
category III includes electric equipment subject
to special demands with reference to safety
and availability.
Examples: House installations, protective
equipment, outlets, switches...
Measuring Circuit Category CAT IV:
Electric equipment, for which lightning voltage
must also be taken into consideration, belongs
to category IV. This includes, e.g. the connection to overhead circuits, underground cables to
water pumps...
The instruction manual contains information and references, necessary for safe
operation and maintenance of the instrument. Prior to using the instrument read
the instruction manual and comply with it
in all sections.
Failure to read the instruction manual or to
comply with the warnings and references
contained herein can result in serious bodily injury or instrument damage.

Introduction
Introduction / Scope of Supply
The FLUKE T100/T120/T140 instruments are
voltage and continuity testers with rotary field
indication for universal applications. The voltage testers are constructed in accordance with
the newest safety prescriptions and guarantee
safe and reliable measurement and testing.
The risk of injury when transporting the instrument in clothing pockets or in the tool box is eliminated due to the fixed test probe cover, as required by VBG 1 (BG) § 35 (Transporting
Tools).
The voltage testers represent a valuable support for all testing and measurement in handicraft and industrial applications as well as for
household uses.
The voltage testers FLUKE T100/ T120/ T140
characterised by the following features:
• Constructed in compliance with DIN EN
61243-3, DIN VDE 0682 Part 401 (previously
DIN VDE 0680 Part 5), DIN VDE 0682 Part
401 A1, IEC61010
• Fixed test probe cover eliminates risk of i n jury (VBG 1, § 35 Transporting Tools)
• Digital LC-Display (only FLUKE T120/T140 )
• Resistance measurement (only T140 )
• LED (FLUKE T100)
• DC and AC voltage measurement up to 690V
• Single-pole phase test
• Continuity test / diode test
• Double-pole rotary direction determination
• IP 65 (IEC 60529, EN 60529,
DIN VDE 0470-1)
After unpacking, verify that the instrument is
undamaged. The scope of supply comprises:
1 FLUKE T100, T120 or T140
2 Batteries 1,5V IEC LR03 AAA

Safety Measures
Safety Measures
The instruments FLUKE T100/T120/T140 have
been constructed and verified in compliance
with the safety measures for voltage testers
and have left the factory in safe and perfect
condition.
In order to avoid electrical shock, the valid
safety and VDE regulations regarding excessive contact voltages must receive utmost attention, when working with voltages exceeding 75V (60V) DC or 50V
(25V)rms AC. The values in brackets are
valid for spezial ranges (for example medicine and agriculture).
The detector shall not be used, if the battery box is open.
Prior to each test, ensure the proper condition of the measuring line and the measuring instrument, e.g. broken cables or
leaking batteries.
Prior to measurement ensure that the test
leads and the test instrument are in perfect condition.
When using this instrument only the handles of the probes may be touched .
This instrument may only be used within
the ranges specified (see 6.0 Technical
Data) and within voltage systems up to
690V
The measuring instrument may be used only in
the measuring circuit category it has been designed for!
Instrument's faultless functionality must be verified prior to every use.
1) Short-circuit the probes. The Rx/Ohm LED
must light up. If not, remove/replace the
batteries.
2) Test the voltage tester on a known voltage
source.
Prior to usage ensure perfect instrument
function (e.g. on known voltage source).
The voltage testers may no longer be used
if one or several functions fail or if no
functionalityis indicated.

Safety Measures
Do not measure under damp conditions.
Perfect display is only guaranteed within a
temperature range of -10°C up to + 55°C,
at relative humidity <85%
If the operator’s safety cannot be guaranted, the instrument must be removed from
service and protected against use.
Safety is no longer ensured in the following
cases:
• Obvious damage
• When the device no longer performs the desired tests
• Excessive storage under unfavourable conditions
• Strain through transport
• Leaking batteries
For all the work, the accident prevention regulations of the commercial and industrial worker's
compensation insurance carriers for electric installations and equipment must be heeded.
Appropriate Usage
The instrument may only be used under those
conditions and for those purposes for which it
was built. For this reason, in particular the
safety references , the technical data including
environmental conditions and the usage in dry
environments must be followed.
When modifying or changing the instrument, the operational safety is no longer
ensured.
The instrument may only be opened by an
authorised service technician, e.g. for fuse
replacement.
