MIN MAX AVG Record Mode

The MIN MAX AVG record mode records the minimum
and maximum input values, and calculates a running
average of all measurements. The Product beeps when a
new high or low is sensed.

Note

For dc functions, accuracy is the specified
accuracy of the measurement function,

±

12 counts for changes longer than 250 ms in

duration.

For ac functions, accuracy is the specified
accuracy of the measurement function

±

40 counts for changes longer than 900 ms in

duration.

To start a MIN MAX AVG record session:

1. Make sure the Product is set to the correct
measurement function and on the correct range.
Autorange is disabled while in a MIN MAX AVG
record session.

2. Push .  and Max show at the top of the

display. The measurement in the display is the
maximum value measured. It changes only when a
new maximum value is sensed.

3. To pause MIN MAX AVG record, push .

 shows on the display while record is paused.
Recorded values are not deleted. To continue the
record session, push .

4. To exit and erase the MIN, MAX, and AVG values,

push  for 1 second or turn the rotary switch.

5. To see the other recorded values (minimum and

average), push . Each push of the button
shows a different recorded value. The value shown in
the display is identified with Max, Min, or Avg to the
right of the MIN MAX icon.

Note

Sleep mode is turned off in MIN MAX AVG
record mode.

AC Zero Input Behavior of True-rms Meters

AC Zero Input Behavior of True-rms Meters

Average responding meters can accurately measure only
pure sinewaves. A True-rms meter can accurately
measure distorted waveform signals. A minimum input
voltage is necessary for calculating True-rms converters
to make a measurement. Because of this minimum input,
True-rms meter specifications are only good for 1 % to
100 % of range. Non-zero digits that are shown on a
True-rms meter when the test leads are open or are
shorted are possible. This has no effect on the ac
measurement accuracy of signals that are more than 1 %
of range.

Unspecified input levels on the lowest ranges are:

• AC voltage less than 1 % of 600 mV ac or 6 mV ac.

• AC current less than 5 % of 60 mA ac or 3 mA ac.

Wireless Radio Setup

The Product uses wireless radio technology to send or
receive measurements to other wireless test tools or the
Fluke Connect® app. The range of the radio is up to 20 m
(66 ft).

The term “discovery” in this manual refers to a procedure
the Product does to look for compatible radio signals. The
term “pair with” means the Product has made a wireless
connection to a test tool or the Fluke Connect
your mobile device.

To turn on the radio:

1. Turn on the Product (the radio is off at the initial
power on).

2. Push  to turn on the radio.

discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
you measure resistance, continuity,
capacitance, or a diode junction.

The figures that follow show how to make basic
measurements with the Product.

When you connect the test leads to the circuit or device,
connect the common (COM) test lead before the live lead.
When you remove the test leads, remove the live lead
before the common test lead.

 Warning

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, disconnect power and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
you measure resistance, continuity,
capacitance, or a diode junction.

The Product sends a small current through the circuit for
resistance measurements. Because the current flows
through all possible paths between the probes, the
resistance measured is the total resistance of all paths
between the probes.

The resistance ranges are 600.0 Ω, 6.000 kΩ, 60.00 kΩ,

600.0 kΩ, 6.000 MΩ, and 50.00 MΩ. Set the Product as

Diode Test

 Warning

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury, disconnect power and
discharge all high-voltage capacitors before
you measure resistance, continuity,
capacitance, or a diode junction

Do a diode test on diodes, transistors, silicon controlled
rectifiers (SCRs), and other semiconductor devices. The
function sends a current through the semiconductor
junction and then measures the voltage drop across the
junction. A good silicon junction drops between 0.5 V and

0.8 V.

To do a diode test on a diode out of circuit, set up the
Product as shown in Figure 7. For forward-bias
measurements on a semiconductor component, put the
red test lead on the positive terminal of the component
and put the black test lead on the negative terminal of the
component.

In a circuit, a good diode has a forward-bias
measurement of 0.5 V to 0.8 V. A reverse-bias
measurement includes the resistance of other pathways
between the probes.

A short beep sounds if the diode is good (<0.85 V). A
continuous beep sounds if the measurement is ≤0.100 V
or a short circuit. The display shows OL if the diode is
open.

Basic Measurements

Frequency Measurement

A frequency measurement is a count of the number of
times an ac voltage or current signal passes through a
threshold point each second.

The Product autoranges to one of four frequency ranges:

99.99 Hz, 999.9 Hz, 9.999 kHz, and 99.99 kHz.

Hints for frequency measurements:

• If a measurement shows 0 Hz or is not stable, the
input signal can be below or near a trigger level. A
lower range increases the sensitivity of the Product
and can usually repair these problems.

• An input signal with distortion can cause a frequency
measurement to be higher than usual. The distortion
can cause the frequency counter to sense multiple
triggers. A higher voltage range decreases the input
sensitivity and can correct this problem. In general,
the lowest frequency is the correct one.

Set up the Product as shown in Figure 8 to measure
frequency.

Maintenance

Maintenance

Warning

To prevent a possible electrical shock or
personal injury:

• Have an approved technician repair the

Meter.

• Do not operate the Product with covers

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

• Use only specified replacement parts.

• Remove the input signals before you

clean the Product.

General Maintenance

Clean the case with a damp cloth and weak detergent. Do
not use a solvent or cleaners with abrasives.

Dirt or moisture in the terminals can cause incorrect
measurements. To clean the terminals:

1. Turn off the Product and remove all test leads.

2. Shake out dirt that can possibly be in the terminals.

3. Soak a clean swab with weak detergent and water.

4. Move the swab around in each terminal.

5. Dry each terminal with canned air to push the water
and detergent out of the terminals.

Warning

To prevent electrical shock or personal
injury, remove the test leads and all input
signals before you replace the batteries or
fuses. To prevent damage or injury, install
ONLY specified replacement parts shown in
Table 6.

Fuse Test

To do a fuse test:

1. Set the function switch to .

2. Connect a test lead to the  jack as shown in
Figure 9.

3. Touch the other end of the test lead to the mA jack.

A good fuse will show a resistance of 12 Ω or less.
Replace the fuse if the resistance is higher or shows OL.

Battery and Fuse Replacement

 Warning

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury:

• Replace a blown fuse with exact

replacement only for continued
protection against arc flash.

• Use only specified replacement fuses.

• Remove the batteries if the Product is

not used for an extended period of time,
or if stored in temperatures above 50 °C.
If the batteries are not removed, battery
leakage can damage the Product.

• Repair the Product before use if the

battery leaks.

• Be sure that the battery polarity is

correct to prevent battery leakage.

• Batteries contain hazardous chemicals

that can cause burns or explode. If
exposure to chemicals occurs, clean
with water and get medical aid.

2. Lift the tilt stand up as shown in Figure 10.

3. Turn the battery-door latch until the unlock symbol

() aligns with the arrow.

4. Lift off the battery door.

5. Remove the three AA batteries and replace them
with new ones. Use the correct battery orientation.

6. Install the battery door.

7. Turn the battery-door latch until the locked symbol
() aligns with the arrow.

To replace the fuse:

1. Turn off the Product and remove all test leads.

2. As shown in Figure 10, remove six screws from the
case bottom.

3. Pull the case bottom from the case top.

4. Remove the fuse from its holder and replace it with a
