Complete The Current Circuit And Turn The Output On; Turn The Output Off; Two-Wire / Four-Wire Voltage Settings - Fluke 6100B Getting Started

Complete the Current Circuit and Turn the Output On

1. Fit a short circuit across the 6100B output terminals.
2. Push  again. The output remains on this time and the 6100B is in Operate mode.
Notice that the Output Menu Enabled and Sine blocks for L1 current are green. See
Figure 10. The green indicator light for current (above the output terminals) is
illuminated and  shows a green light.

Turn the Output Off

To turn the output off, push . The On indications disappear.
The training exercise is complete.

Two-wire / Four-wire Voltage Settings

The 6100B voltage output can be configured for either two-wire or four-wire sensing.
The default mode is two-wire sense.
To avoid electrical shock, personal injury, know that when the
6100B voltage channel is enabled and operating, full voltage
output may be present at the VOLTAGE SENSE terminals even
when they are not externally connected.
The 6100B is provided with a four to two-wire lead set for voltage. Irrespective of two-
wire / four-wire configuration the four plugs at the 6100B end of the lead should always
be plugged in when the lead is in use. The sense wires will always be at the same
potential as the output wires.
For measurement accuracy it is important that the two-wire / four-wire setting is correct.
In particular, setting four-wire sensing but only connecting two wires will cause voltage
errors in the order of 1.2 V. If you are not familiar with four-wire voltage sensing please
read the description and warning below. Otherwise refer to the Users Manual to learn
more about the 6100B features and how to operate them.
