Calibration Manual Battery Charger/Power Adapter Note To accommodate connection to various line power sockets, the BE345 Universal Battery Eliminator is equipped with a male plug that must be connected to a line plug adapter appropriate for local use. Since the Charger is isolated, you can use line plug adapters with or without a protective ground terminal.
To avoid damage to the Clamp Meter, do not apply solvents to the case. The Clamp Meter contains no user serviceable parts. Contact an Authorized Fluke Service Center for repair. See “Contacting Fluke”. Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives or solvents.
Verification Tests The following tests verify the functions of the Clamp Meter. If any of the verification tests fail, repair is necessary. For service, see Contacting Fluke. Battery and Battery Eliminator Check With six new AA batteries installed, the battery symbol next to the date on the display should show a indicate full batteries.
