Safety Information: Read First

The Fluke Models 192C, 196C, 199C, 215C and 225C
ScopeMeter test tools (hereafter referred to as “test tool”)
comply with:

• ANSI/ISA S82.01-1994

• EN/IEC61010-1 : 2001

• CAN/CSA-C22.2 No.61010-1-04

• 1000 V Measurement Category II, 600 V

Measurement Category III, Pollution Degree 2

• UL61010B-1

Use the test tool only as specified in the Users Manual.
Otherwise, the protection provided by the test tool might

Fluke 19xC-2x5C

Getting Started

Warning

To avoid electrical shock or fire:

• Use only the Fluke power supply, Model

BC190 (Battery Charger / Power Adapter).

• Before use check that the selected/indicated

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

• For the BC190/808 universal Battery

Charger/Power Adapter use only line cords
that comply with the local safety regulations.

Note

To accommodate connection to various line
power sockets, the BC190/808 universal Battery
Charger / Power Adapter is 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 test tool
input is connected to more than 42 V peak (30
Vrms) or on circuits of more than 4800 VA:

• Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads

and adapters supplied with the test tool, or
indicated by Fluke as suitable for the Fluke
19xC-2x5C ScopeMeter series.

• Before use, inspect voltage probes, test leads

and accessories for mechanical damage and
replace when damaged.

• Remove all probes, test leads and

accessories that are not in use.

• Always connect the battery charger first to

the ac outlet before connecting it to the test
tool.

• Do not connect the ground spring (Figure 1,

item f) to voltages higher than 42 V peak (30
Vrms) from 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 transmitted to the test tool.

• Do not use exposed metal BNC or banana

plug connectors.
