Fluke 87V Ex - Errors and Load Restrictions

True-rms Multimeter
ATEX Safety Information

• Do not use the Low Pass Filter option to
verify the presence of hazardous
voltages. Voltages greater than what is
indicated may be present. First, make a
voltage measurement without the filter to
detect the possible presence of
hazardous voltage. Then select the filter
function.
• Do not use in wet environments.
WCaution
To avoid possible damage to the Meter or to
the equipment under test, follow these
guidelines:
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge
all high-voltage capacitors before testing
resistance, continuity, diodes, or
capacitance.
• Use the proper terminals, function, and
range for all measurements.
• Before measuring current, check the
Meter's fuses. (See "Fuse Test".)
• Observe all safety regulations and read
the certificate.
Errors and Load Restrictions
If there is any question that the safety or integrity of this
Meter is compromised, remove it from operation and the
Ex-hazardous area immediately. Also, take whatever
actions are necessary to prevent the Meter from being
accidentally placed into operation before it can be
examined and approved for operation. It is recommended
the Meter be returned to the manufacturer for
examination.
The safety and reliability of the Meter may be at risk and
discontinue use of the Meter if:
• Visible damage is evident on the Meter’s housing.
• The Meter has been subjected to excessive loads for
which it is not designed.
• The Meter has been improperly stored.
• The Meter has sustained damage in transit.
• Illegible inscriptions or lettering appears on the Meter.
• A Meter malfunction occurs.
• Obvious measuring inaccuracies occur.
• Measurements/simulations are no longer possible with
the Meter.
• Permitted tolerances or threshold values have been
exceeded.
