Fluke recommends using a verification box that has a divider with 30 Ω across the Logger input and 10 kΩ in series with high side of the input. See Table 6 for instructions on how to make the verification box.
Range changes in the verification can require remote commands to set the range. To communicate between the PC and the Logger, the USB driver must be installed. • 173x: the USB driver is installed when the Fluke Energy Analyze Plus (FEA+) software is installed. • 3540 FC: the USB driver is available at www.fluke.com.
