    Operating the Meter Using the Computer Interface Introduction Introduction This chapter describes how to set up, configure and operate the Meter via the RS-232 computer interface on the Meter’s rear panel. The Meter can be operated from a host (a terminal, controller, PC, or computer) by sending commands to the Meter through its computer interface.
  • Page 64
    RS-232 Print-Only Mode The print-only mode is used to send measurements to a printer or terminal automatically. While the Meter will respond to remote commands during print-only operations, Fluke recommends first setting the Meter’s echo mode to OFF. This prevents mixing echoed command characters and incoming data.
  • Page 65
    Longer cables can be used if the load capacitance at the interface point (including signal terminator) is less than 2500 pf. To connect the Meter to a personal computer (with DB-9 connector), use a Fluke RS41-3 Null modem cable. Refer to Table 1-3.

Verify the Meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage before and after using it. Do not use the Meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. If in doubt, have the Meter serviced.

Whenever it is likely that safety protection has been impaired, make the Meter inoperative and secure it against any unintended operation.

Have the Meter serviced only by qualified service personnel.

Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.

Always use the power cord and connector appropriate for the voltage and outlet of the country or location in which you are working.

Remove test leads from the Meter before opening the case.

Never remove the cover or open the case of the Meter without first removing it from the main power source.

Never operate the Meter with the cover removed or the case open.

Use caution when working with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 42 V dc. These voltages pose a shock hazard.

Use only the replacement fuses specified by the manual.

Use the proper terminals, function and range for your measurements.

Do not operate the Meter around explosive gas, vapor or dust.

When using probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.

When making electrical connections, connect the common test lead before connecting the live test lead. When disconnecting, disconnect the live test lead before disconnecting the common test lead.

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.

Before measuring current, check the Meter’s fuses and turn OFF power to the circuit before connecting the Meter to the circuit.

When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts.

Unpacking and Inspecting the Meter

Every care is taken in the choice of packing material to ensure that your Meter will reach you in perfect condition. If the Meter has been subject to excessive handling in transit, there may be visible external damage to the shipping carton. In the event of damage, keep the shipping container and packing material for the carrier’s inspection.

Carefully unpack the Meter from its shipping container and inspect the contents for damaged or missing items. If the Meter appears damaged or something is missing, contact the carrier and Fluke immediately. Save the container and packing material in case you have to return the Meter.

Storing and Shipping the Meter

To prepare the Meter for storage or shipping, place it inside a sealed bag, fit the bag into the packing material inside the original shipping container, and then secure the package. Use the original shipping container if possible, as it provides shock isolation for normal handling operations. If the original shipping container is not available, use a box that is 17.5 x 15.5 x 8.0 inches, with cushioning material that fills the space between the Meter and the sides of the box.

To store the Meter, place the box under cover in a location that complies with the storage environment specifications described in the “General Specifications” section in Chapter 1.

Power Considerations

The Meter operates on varying power distribution standards found throughout the world and must be set up to operate on the line voltage that will power it. The Meter is packed ready for use with a line voltage determined at the time of ordering. If the selected line voltage does not match the power that the Meter will be plugged into, the Meter’s linevoltage setting must be changed and replacement of the line fuse may be required.

Users Manual

Selecting the Line Voltage

The Meter operates on four different input line voltages. The selected line-voltage setting is visible through the window in the line-fuse holder on the Meter’s rear panel.

1.Unplug the power cord.

2.Insert a small screwdriver blade into the narrow recess to the left of the fuse holder and pry it to the right until the holder pops out. See Figure 2-1.

3.Remove the voltage-selector block from the fuse holder.

4.Rotate the selector block until the desired voltage rating faces outward.

5.Replace the selector block back into the fuse holder.

6.Install the fuse holder back into the Meter and reconnect the power cord.

Changing the line-voltage setting may require a different line-power fuse for proper operation.

Replacing the Fuses

The Meter uses one fuse to protect the line-power input and two fuses to protect the current-measurement inputs.

Line-Power Fuse

The Meter has a line-power fuse in series with the power supply. Table 2-1 indicates the proper fuse for each of the four line-voltage selections. The line-power fuse is accessed through the rear panel.

1.Unplug the power cord.

2.Insert a small screwdriver blade into the narrow recess to the left of the fuse holder and pry it to the right until the holder pops out. See Figure 2-1.

3.Remove the fuse and replace it with a fuse of an appropriate rating for the selected line-power voltage. See Table 2-1.

4.Replace the selector block back into the fuse holder.

XW Warning

To avoid electric shock or fire, do not use makeshift fuses or short-circuit the fuse holder.

Power Considerations

Figure 2-1. Replacing the Line Power Fuse

Current-Input Fuses

The 200 mA and 10 A inputs are protected by user-replaceable fuses.

The 200 mA input is protected by a fuse (F2) rated at 440 mA, 1000 V (fast blow), 10,000 A minimum breaking capacity.

The 10 A input is protected by a fuse (F1) rated at 11 A, 1000 V (fast blow), 10,000 A minimum breaking capacity.

XW Warning

For protection against fire or arc flash, replace a blown fuse with a fuse of an identical rating.

To test the current-input fuses:

1.Turn on the Meter and plug a test lead into the INPUT VZYR HI terminal.

2.Press O.

3.Press Vto set the range to 200 Ω. Only the 200 Ω, 2 kΩ, and 20 kΩ ranges can be used to test the mA input fuse.

4.Insert the other end of the test lead into the mA terminal. If the fuse is good, the Meter displays a reading of 0.000 Ω. If the fuse is blown, the Meter displays 0L to indicate an overload.

5.Remove the test lead from the mA terminal and insert it into the 10 A terminal. If the fuse is good, the Meter displays a reading of <1.000 Ω. If the fuse is blown, the Meter displays 0L to indicate an overload.

XW Warning

To avoid electric shock, remove the power cord and any test leads from the Meter before opening the current-input fuse cover.
