Fluke PRV240FS Operating Manual

PRV240FS

Proving Unit

Instruction Sheet

Introduction

The PRV240FS Proving Unit (the Product) is an
electronic voltage source. This Product provides
a safe and easy method to verify proper operation
of the T6-600/T6-1000 Electrical Tester with
FieldSense technology or other test tools. Use
it to verify either an energized source or a de­energized source. Also use it in cases where no
known voltage source is available to verify a test
tool.

The Product does not require personal protective
equipment (PPE) unless your environment
requires minimal PPE such as a hard hat, safety
glasses, or ear plugs.

FieldSense Measurement without Test Lead

Before verication, set up the T6 for a FieldSense

measurement without the test leads. See the
T6 Quick Reference Guide.

To verify measurement:

1. Move the switch to the FieldSense position.
See Figure 3.

2. Insert the T6 fork into position on the Product.

3. Push and hold the nger ground contact to

activate the Product.

The Product LED turns green and the T6

display shows a 240 V measurement.

FieldSense Measurement with Ground Lead

Before verication, set up the T6 for a FieldSense

measurement with the ground lead. See the
T6 Quick Reference Guide.

To verify measurement:

1. Move the switch to the FieldSense position.
See Figure 4.

2. Insert the T6 fork into position on the Product.

3. Place the black test lead from the test tool
into the test lead ground contact terminal and

press down rmly.

The Product LED turns green and the T6

display shows a 240 V measurement.

AC/DC Measurement

Before verication, set up the T6 or other test tool

for ac/dc measurement with the test leads.
To verify measurement:

1. Move the switch to the AC or DC position.
See Figure 5.

2. Place the red test lead from the test tool into

the (+) terminal and press down rmly.

3. Place the black test lead from the test tool

into the (-) terminal and press down rmly.

The Product LED turns green and the T6

display shows a 240 V measurement.

Battery Replacement

Push the nger ground contact button to check the
battery condition. The nger ground contact LED

turns green to show good battery condition. If the
LED does not turn on, replace the batteries.

 Warning
