Warnings: Read Before Using
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury,
follow these guidelines:
• If the tester does not power up immediately after
connecting it to the mains outlet disconnect and
verify that the mains outlet is correctly wired.
• Use the tester only as specified in this manual, or the
protection provided by the tester might be impaired.
• The tester shall not be used for measurements in
electrical installations.
• When conducting tests do not touch the appliance as
some tests involve high voltages and high currents.
• Do not use the tester around explosive gas, vapour or
dust, or in wet environments.
• Inspect the tester before using it. Do not use the
tester if abnormal conditions of any sort are noted
(such as a faulty display, broken case, etc.).
• Use only test leads and probes supplied with the
tester, or indicated by Fluke as suitable for the tester.
• Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or
exposed metal. Check test lead continuity. Replace
damaged leads before using the tester.
• When testing, always be sure to keep your fingers
behind the safety barriers on the test leads.
• Never open the tester’s case because dangerous
voltages are present. There are no user replaceable
parts in the tester.
• Have the tester serviced only by qualified personnel.
• The tester must be properly earthed. Only use a
supply socket that has a protective earth contact. If
there is any doubt as to the effectiveness of the
supply socket earth, do not connect the tester. Do not
use a two-conductor adapter or extension cord; this
will break the protective ground connection.
• The tester has been set for a nominal 240 V ac – 50 Hz
operation, it must never be connected to a higher
voltage.
• The tester may only be connected to a correctly wired
mains socket protected for a maximum current rating
of 13 A.
• The mains supply is never to be connected to the IEC
lead test connector.
• When carrying out Earth Bond tests, regularly zero
the earth bond test lead.
• Under certain test conditions the test socket may
have mains potential with a maximum current of 13 A.
• If the tester continuously emits a two tone sound, you
should unplug it immediately as this indicates a
dangerous condition.
