Safety Information
A "XWWarning" statement identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or death.
A "WCaution" statement identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Meter or the equipment under test.
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:
• Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Meter might
be impaired.
• Do not use the Meter or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Meter is not operating
properly.
• Always use proper terminals, switch position, and range for measurements.
• Verify the Meter's operation by measuring a known voltage. If in doubt, have the Meter
serviced.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on Meter, between terminals or
between any terminal and earth ground.
• Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose
a shock hazard.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing
resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.
• Do not use the Meter around explosive gas or vapor.
• When using test leads or probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
• Only use test leads that have the same voltage, category, and amperage ratings as the meter
and that have been approved by a safety agency.
• Remove test leads from Meter before opening the battery door or Meter case.

To test the fuse:
1. Set the rotary switch to Ω.
2. Plug a test lead into the v jack and touch the probe to the 10A jack, as shown in Figure 1.
If the display shows a resistance value in the range of that shown in Figure 1, the fuse is good.
If the display reads 0L, replace the fuse and test again.
If the display shows any other value, have the Meter serviced. See “Contact Information” earlier in this document.

[1] If using a Fluke 9100 calibrator, the Calibrator Frequency mode must be used to obtain accurate frequency.
[2] To keep from tripping the calibrator to standby, ramp up the voltage in 50 V increments with a 5 second delay between
increments.
Note
• Ensure the instrument is REMOVED from the holster prior to performing the test.
• Keep the meter away from electrical noise sources during the tests, i.e., florescent
lights, dimmable lights, motors, etc.. These sources can trigger VoltAlert and
invalidate the test.
• It may be necessary in steps 4 and 8 below to slightly adjust the Meter’s position for
maximum signal strength, in order to get the Meter’s beeper to sound continuously.

Calibration Adjustment
The Meter features closed-case calibration adjustment using known reference sources. The Meter measures the
applied reference source, calculates correction factors, and stores the correction factors in nonvolatile memory.
The following sections present the features and Meter pushbutton functions available during the Calibration
Adjustment Procedure. Should the Meter fail any of the performance tests, perform the Calibration Adjustment
Procedure.
Use the following steps to view the Meter’s calibration counter.
1. While pressing K, turn the rotary switch from OFF to Ω function. The Meter should display
“ZCAL”.
2. Press g once to view the calibration counter. For example, “n001”
3. Turn the rotary switch to OFF.

Calibration Information
Note
Some adjustment steps require additional wait time after the calibrator settles, as noted in
Table 6.
7. After each input value is applied, press g to accept the value and proceed to the next step (C02 and
so forth).
Notes
After pressing g, wait until the step number advances before changing the calibrator
source or turning the Meter’s rotary knob. Some adjustment steps can take up to several
seconds to execute before moving to the next step.
If the knob is not in the correct position for a given step, the meter will flash the unit
annunciators until the knob is put in a valid position. The keys that show the reading and
required input values are not allowed until the knob is correct.
Likewise, if the rotary switch is not in the correct position or the measured value is not within
the anticipated range of the input value, the Meter will emit a double beep and will not
continue to the next step when g is pressed.
8. After the final step, the display shows “End” to indicate that the calibration adjustment is complete.
Press g to return to meter mode.

[1] All ac ranges except Auto-V LoZ are specified from 1 % to 100 % of range. Auto-V LoZ is specified from 0.0 V.
Because inputs below 1 % of range are not specified, it is normal for this and other true-rms meters to display non-zero
readings when the test leads are disconnected from a circuit or are shorted together. For volts, crest factor of ≤3 at
4000 counts, decreasing linearly to 1.5 at full scale. For amps, crest factor of ≤3. AC volts is ac-coupled. Auto-V LoZ,
AC mV, and AC amps are dc-coupled.
[2] AC Volts Hz is ac-coupled and specified from 5 Hz to 99.99 kHz. Minimum input required above 50.00 kHz typically is
> 1.1 vac sine. Minimum input typical and not specified. AC Amps Hz is dc-coupled and specified from 45 Hz to 5 kHz.
