Fluke Y8846D Instruction Sheet

Introduction
This sheet provides instructions for mounting the
Fluke 8845A, 8846A, and Hydra series multimeters
(hereafter referred to as the Meter) in a standard
19-inch rack panel using the Fluke Y8846S or
Y8846D Rack Mount Kit (the Y8846D is not
available for the Hydra series).
Preparation
Before installing the rack mount kit, first remove the
handle, rubber boots, and three screws from the Meter
by performing the following steps:
1. With the Meter flat on the desk, rotate the Meter
handle to the vertical position over the top of the
Meter as shown in Figure 1.
2. Remove the handle by pulling one side of the
handle outward, away from the Meter until free,
as shown in Figure 1. Then pull the other side of
the handle out, away from the Meter.
3. To remove the boots, pry and pull them from the
Meter.
4. Remove the side screw(s) and one rear screw
(earth connection) from the Meter.
