87 & 89 Series IV Service Manual Basic Maintenance Warning To avoid electrical shock or personal injury, remove the test leads and any input signals before opening the case or replacing the battery or fuses. To prevent damage or injury, install ONLY batteries or fuses specified for this product.
Basic Maintenance Replacing the LCD If you need to replace the LCD, you will find it easier to leave the LCD assembly attached to the circuit board and access the LCD by removing the LCD mask from the front of the LCD assembly. 1.
87 & 89 Series IV Service Manual Reassembling the Meter Case To reassemble the Meter case, do the following: 1. Verify that the rotary switch is in the position. 2. Reinsert the circuit board by placing it into the case top with the LCD showing through the window.
Basic Maintenance Replace F2 if " " Replace F1 if " " displayed displayed tc038f.eps Figure 2. Testing the Current Fuses Replacing Fuses Warning To avoid electrical shock, remove the test leads and any input signals before replacing the battery or fuses. To prevent damage or injury, INSTALL ONLY specified fuses and batteries.
87 & 89 Series IV Service Manual 2. Remove the battery door by using a standard-blade screwdriver to the turn the battery door fasteners one-quarter turn counterclockwise. 3. Replace the batteries, observing proper polarity. Replace the battery door and secure it by turning the fasteners one-quarter turn clockwise.
The following performance tests will ensure that the Meter is in proper operating condition and will check the accuracy of each meter function against its specifications. To perform the tests you will need a Fluke 5520A Calibrator or equipment meeting the minimum specification given in Table 1.
IR adapter is aligned with the IR window. Testing Temperature Connect K-type thermocouple and Fluke 80Ak to the temperature input on the Meter. Connect the other end to the 5520A TC output. Allow connections to stabilize for 30 seconds before proceeding.
Performance Tests Testing Voltage, Current, Resistance, Capacitance and Diode Functions To verify the accuracy of Meter functions, do the following. 1. Connect the Calibrator to the inputs on the Meter. 2. Turn the rotary switch to the function listed in each step. 3.

87 & 89 Series IV Service Manual Calibration Calibrate the Meter once a year to ensure that it performs to specifications. Before you begin the calibration procedure, locate the recessed calibration button on the back of the Meter, underneath the accessory mount. It is inside a small opening covered by a seal.
Calibration Function indicator UP button moves to the Autoranging next step is disabled for calibration Calibration step number Input signal required Calibration mode indicator aau01f.eps Figure 6. Calibration Display General Procedure A sequence of signal inputs is required for each function that must be calibrated. The secondary display shows the required input next to the step number for that function.
87 & 89 Series IV Service Manual Special Requirements DC mV calibration will affect the calibration of all other functions. Therefore, the DC mV function must be calibrated before calibrating any other function. Similarly, AC mV must be calibrated before any AC function, but after DC mV. The remaining functions may be calibrated in any order.

Series IV meters with MET/CAL. This adapter allows you to connect the interface adapter to a PC. The DB9 Adapter and an Adapter Kit (Fluke P/N 689486) are required if you connect the UUT interface adapter to the 5520A serial port. For more information about MET/CAL calibration requirements, contact Fluke customer service.
When the U10 EEPROM is replaced, you must also reenter the serial number and model number for the Meter. Do this as follows: 1. Connect the IR adapter to the serial com port of the PC. Install Fluke 87/89 IV Service Software (Fluke P/N 676152).
