Fluke 8010A User Manual

Holster
and Flex-Stand
The meter comes with
a
snap-on holster
that absorbs shocks
and protects the meter from rough
handling. The holster is
equipped with
a Flex-Stand. Some
uses
of the holster with
Flex-Stand are
shown
in Figure
3.
APPLICATIONS
This section discusses
some
common applications
for
your
meter, and alerts
you to
some
considerations
to
keep in mind
when
taking measurements.
Measuring Voltage (AC/DC)
To measure
voltage,
connect
the meter in parallel with the load
or
circuit
under test. Each
of the five
ac/dc
voltage ranges
presents
an
input impedance of
approximately
10 Mfi
in paral-
lel
with
less
than
100
p
F.Ac
voltage isac-coupled to
the
10 Mfi
input.
To
improve the
accuracy
of dc voltage measurements made
in
the presence of ac
voltages, measure
the
ac voltage
first.
Note
the
ac voltage
range
and
manually
select a dc
voltage range
that
is
the same or higher
than the
ac
voltage range.
This
method
improves the dc voltage accuracy by ensuring
that the
APPLICATIONS
Measuring
Voltage (AC/
DC)
input protection
circuits
are not being
activated.
A typical
application
is
measuring
the
dc
offset
voltage
of an amplifier
in
the
presence
of
an
ac
signal.
Measurement
errors
due to
circuit loading
can result when
making
either
ac
or
dc voltage
measurements
on circuits
with
high
source
impedance.
In most
cases, the error
is
negligible
(0.1%
or
less) if the
measurement
circuit source
impedance is
10
kilohms
or less.
Measuring Current
WARNING
DO
NOT
ATTEMPT AN
IN-CIRCUIT
CURRENT
MEASUREMENT
WHERE
THE POTENTIAL
IS
GREATER THAN
600V. YOU MAY
DAMAGE THE
METER
OR BE
INJURED IF THE
FUSE BLOWS
WHILE
CURRENT
IS BEING
MEASURED IN
A
CIRCUIT
WHICH EXHIBITS
AN OPEN
CIRCUIT
VOLTAGE
GREATER
THAN
600V.
To
measure current,
connect the
meter
in series with
the load
or
circuit under
test. Press the
BLUE
button to
toggle
between
alternating
and direct
current.
