Connect to Line Power
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Do not use a two-conductor mains power cord unless you
install a protective ground wire to the Product ground
terminal before you operate the Product.
• Do not use an extension cord or adapter plug.
Make sure that the Product is grounded before use. The calibrator is shipped with the
correct line-power plug for the country of purchase. If it is necessary to use a different
type, refer to Table 3 and Figure 4 for a list and illustration of the line-power plug types
available from Fluke Calibration.
After you make sure that the line voltage selection is set correctly and that the correct
fuse for that line voltage is installed, connect the calibrator to a correctly-grounded
three-prong outlet.
Select Line Frequency
The calibrator is shipped from the factory for nominal operation at 60 Hz line frequency.
If you use 50 Hz line voltage, reconfigure the Calibrator for optimal performance at
50 Hz. To do this:
1. From the front panel, go into SETUP, INSTMT SETUP, OTHER SETUP.
2. Push the softkey below MAINS to change the selection to 50 Hz.
3. Store the change.
After a correct instrument warmup (on for 30 minutes or longer), you must zero the
complete instrument again. See the section on “Zero the Calibrator” in Chapter 4 of the
Operators Manual.
