Safety Information

Warning

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:

• Do not use the tester if it is damaged or operati ng abnormal l y. Protection

may be impaired.

• Before each use:

• Make sure the battery door is closed and latched.

• Inspect the tester and test leads. Look for cracks, mi ssing plastic, exposed

metal, or damaged insulation. Replace damaged test leads before using the tester.

• Verify the tester’s operation by measuring a known voltage.

• Replace the batteries as soon as the low battery i ndi cat or (M) appears.

• Do not use the tester around explosive gas, vapor or dust.

• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the tester, between

terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.

• Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

• Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.

• When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the

probes.

• Connect the common test lead before you connect the live t est lead.

Disconnect the live test lead fi rst .

• The display will not display hazardous voltages in display hold. The voltage

indicator LED (

Cleaning the Tester

WWarning

To avoid electric shock or damage to the tester, never allow w at er i nsi de t he case. To avoid damaging the tester’s case, never use solvents on the tester.

If the tester requires cleaning, wipe it down with a cloth that is lightly dampened with water or a mild detergent. Do not use aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, or methanol-based fluids when wiping down the tester.

Service Information

Equipment Required for Performance Tests

The following equipment is required for performance tests:

• Fluke 5500A Multi-Product Calibrator, or equivalent

• 0 V to 5 V adjustable dc power supply

• Approximately 8 m (26 ft) of #14 single-conductor magnet wire wound into a butterfly-shaped coil.

Figure 1 shows how to make the coil.

Performance Tests

Use the following procedures to verify the tester’s performance. If the tester fails any of the tests, return it to Fluke for calibration or repair.

Testing the AC Current Function

The tests in this section require the butterfly coil shown in Figure 1. Note that the 10 conductors in the middle of the coil cause the tester to read 10 times more current than the calibrator supplies.

1. Put one edge of the butterfly coil in a vice to hold the coil during testing.

2. Set the calibrator to the current and frequency given in Step 1 of Table 1.

3. Connect the butterfly coil to the calibrator.

4. Set the tester to the amperage function.

5. Place the tester’s current fork around the middle of the coil so that the alignment marks are centered and

perpendicular to the wire bundle, as shown in Figure 1.

6. Verify that the tester reads within the display limits shown for Step 1 in Table 1.

7. Apply the currents and verify the tester’s readings for the remaining steps in Table 1.

Performance Tests

Testing the Voltage Functions

The tests in this section check the following voltage functions:

• Automatic selection of ac or dc voltage mode

• Correct operation of the hazardous voltage indicator

• Correct operation of the HOLD function

Perform the tests as follows:

1. Set the calibrator to the T5-600 or T5-1000 test voltage given in Table 2.

2. Apply the voltage to the tester. Verify that the tester reads within the display limits shown.

3. Apply the voltages and verify the tester’s readings for the steps in Tables 3 and 4.

Resistance and Continuity Function Tests

1. Set the calibrator to the resistance given in Step 1 of Table 5.

2. Apply the resistance to the tester. Verify that the tester reads within the display limits shown.

3. Apply the resistances and verify the tester’s responses for the remaining steps in Table 5.

Low Battery Indicator Test

The following procedure verifies correct operation of the low battery indicator.

1. Remove the tester’s batteries.

2. Set the dc power supply to 3.0 V. Apply this voltage to the tester’s battery terminals.

3. Set the calibrator to 1 kΩ. Apply this resistance to the tester’s probes.

4. Slowly decrease the dc voltage just until the tester’s low battery indicator (M) turns on.

5. Verify that the tester reads 1000 ±12 counts (988 to 1012).

6. Disconnect the calibrator and the dc power supply. Reinstall the tester’s batteries.
