Fluke 433/434

Getting Started

Warning

To avoid electrical shock or fire:

Review the entire manual before use of the Analyzer and its accessories.

Avoid working alone.

Do not operate the Analyzer around explosive gas or vapor.

Use only insulated current probes, test leads and adapters as supplied with the Analyzer, or indicated as suitable for the Fluke 433/434 Analyzer.

Before use, inspect the Analyzer, voltage probes, test leads and accessories for mechanical damage and replace when damaged. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay special attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.

Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.

Always connect the Battery Charger / Power Adapter first to the AC outlet before connecting it to the Analyzer.

Use the ground input only to ground the Analyzer and do not apply any voltage.

Do not apply input voltages above the rating of the instrument.

Do not apply voltages in excess of the marked ratings of the voltage probes or current clamps.

Do not use exposed metal BNC or banana plug connectors.

Do not insert metal objects into connectors.

Use only the power supply, Model BC430 (Battery Charger / Power Adapter).

Before use check that the selected/indicated voltage range on the BC430 matches the local line power voltage and frequency. If necessary set the slider switch of the BC430 to the correct voltage.

For the BC430 use only AC line plug adapters or AC line cords that comply with local safety regulations.
