Testing the VoltAlert Function (117 only)
Use this procedure to verify that VoltAlert functions properly.
Note
• Make sure the instrument is REMOVED from the holster before you do the
test.
• Keep the Meter away from electrical noise sources during the tests, for
example, florescent lights, dimming lights, and motors. These types of
noise source can trigger VoltAlert and invalidate the test.
• It may be necessary in steps 4 and 8 below to slightly adjust the Meter
position for maximum signal strength to get the Meter beeper to sound
continuously.
Refer to Figure 4 for these steps:
1. Select the VoltAlert function and verify that
Hiis on the display. Verify that the beeper is silent and the red
LED is off.
2. Connect a double banana plug to the output voltage terminals of the calibrator (Fluke 5500A or equivalent).
3. Set the calibrator output to 10 V at 60 Hz.
4. Hold the Meter so that the top is vertically and horizontally centered and contacting the banana plug Hi
terminal. Verify that the Meter beeper is on continuously and the red LED at the top of the display lights.
5. Place the calibrator in standby mode and verify that the beeper is now silent and the red LED is off.
6. Press q(display should indicate
Lo range).
7. Set the calibrator output to 30 V at 60 Hz.

8. Hold the Meter so that the top is vertically and horizontally centered to the banana plug Hi terminal. Verify
that the Meter beeper is sounding continuously and the red LED at the top of the display lights.
9. Return the calibrator to standby mode and verify the Meter beeper is silent and the red LED is off.
