INTRODUCTION
2-2,
This
section
describes how to
set
up and
make
measurements with your
Multimeter.
Even
though
you
may
have used
a
multimeter
before, we
recommend
that
you read the entire section
carefully
so that you
can use all
of the features of your Multimeter.
2-3.
SETTING UP
YOUR
INSTRUMENT
2-4,
Unpacking
2-5.
Your Multimeter
is
shipped
in a
special
protective
container that should prevent damage to
the instrument
during shipping. Check the shipping
order
against
the
contents
of the container
and report any
damage or
short
shipment
to the place
of
purchase
or the
nearest
Fluke
Technical Service Center.
A list of these
service
centers
is
located in Section 5. The container
should include
the
following:
•
The 8010A or 8012A Multimeter
•
Two test leads (one
red
and one black)
•
Line power cord
•
The 8010A/8012A Instruction
Manual
2-6.
If
reshipment
of
the
instrument is
necessary,
please
use the original shipping container. If
the
original
container is not available,
be sure
that
adequate
protection
is
provided to
prevent
damage
during
shipment. We
recommend
that the
instrument
be
surrounded
by
at least
three
inches of
shock-absorbing
material on
all sides
of
the
container.
2-7.
Remove the Multimeter from
its container
and
place
it
in
a convenient
location.
The carrying
handle on
the meter can
be
used
as
a prop-stand
or positioned
out of
the way (behind the Multimeter).
To position
the
handle,
pull
outward on the hubs of the handle
and rotate the
handle into position.
