Fluke T5-600 / 5-1000 User Manual

Read First: Safety Information

Use the tester only as specified in this Instruction Sheet, otherwise the protection provided by the tester may be impaired.

• Do not use the tester if it is damaged or operating abnormally. Protection may be impaired.

• Before each use:

  Make sure the battery door is closed and latched.

  Inspect the tester and test leads. Look for cracks, missing plastic, exposed metal, or damaged insulation. Replace damaged test leads before using the tester.

  Verify the tester's operation by measuring a known voltage.

  Perform the Battery Test to avoid false readings due to a low battery.

• Replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator ( ) appears.

• Do not use the tester around explosive gas, vapor or dust.

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

• When servicing the tester, use only specified replacement parts.

• Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc.

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

• Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead. Disconnect the live test lead first.

Voltage Indicator

While the tester is on, the LED glows when more than 30 V ac or 60 V dc is present across the leads.

The LED can also glow at lower voltages. Be aware that such voltages pose a shock hazard.

Measuring Voltage (V)

The tester automatically selects dc (DC) or ac (AC) voltage mode based on the peak values of the measured signal.

The tester defaults to ac voltage when turned on.

DC Voltage
T5-600 maximum: 600 V
T5-1000 maximum: 1000 V
CAT III

AC Voltage
45 Hz to 66 Hz
T5-600 maximum: 600 V rms
T5-1000 maximum: 1000 V rms
CAT III

Measuring Continuity and Resistance ( Ω )

Continuity

Open

Short

Resistance

Beeper indicates shorts lasting 1 ms (1/1000 second) or longer.

Measuring AC Current (A)

• Range: 0 A to 100.0 A; 45 Hz to 66 Hz
• Remove probes from test points.
• Place conductor anywhere within the sensor zone (shaded area shown below).

Display Hold

To hold the reading on the display, press and release HOLD. The voltage indicator LED ( ) continues to operate.
To exit the display hold mode, press and release HOLD again, or turn the rotary switch to a new position.

Automatic Power Down

The tester turns off automatically if you do not turn the rotary switch or press HOLD for approximately 34 minutes. To resume operation, turn the tester off, wait two seconds, then turn the tester on.

Low Battery Indicator

To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator ( ) appears.

Maintenance

Clean the case with a damp cloth and detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.

Because the inputs are electronically protected, no fuses are required.

Battery Replacement

Observe the polarity markings inside the battery compartment.

Replacement Parts

Test Lead Assembly. Replace only with Fluke double-insulated leads ( ) See "Accessories" for available probes.	PN 648029
