Chapter 5. 2-2. Functional Description A block diagram of the Fluke 27 circuitry is shown in Figure 2-1. As this figure shows, the instrument is composed of two major functional sections: the analog section and the digital section.
Analog-to-digital conversion is accomplished within U1 using a modified dual-slope A/D converter circuit, as shown in Figure 2-2. The conversion method in the Fluke 27 can be described as a charge-coupled, multiple-slope technique. A series of 10 minor...
Page 19
Theory of Operation Block Diagram Description conversions occur every 40 ms (each at 1/10th the desired resolution) without taking time for an autozero phase between the conversions. These minor conversions (or samples, as they are called in the following discussion) occur at a rate of 25 per second, and are used to provided the fast response bar-graph display and fast autoranging.
Service Manual preset, and bi-directional bus control for storing control outputs from the microcomputer and for transferring data to the microcomputer. Basic timing for the A/D converter is defined as a series of 10 integrate/read cycles (samples), followed by a 100 ms autozero phase. However, the diode test and continuity function, the 32 MJ range, the battery test, the power-up self test, overload recovery, ®...
Characters are generated by the computer and displayed on the LCD. Both digital readings and an analog bar-graph display are presented, in conjunction with annunciators and decimal points. Refer to the Fluke 27 Users Manual for a more detailed description of the display.

Service Manual 3-2. Service Information The Fluke 27 has a lifetime warranty upon shipment of the instrument to the original purchaser. Conditions of the warranty are described on the registration card. Malfunctions that occur within the limits the warranty will be corrected at no cost to the purchaser.
(M) appears. The Fluke 27 is powered by a single 9 V battery (NEDA 1604, 6F22, or 006P). Referring to Figure 3-1, use the following procedure to replace the battery: 1.
3-6. Fuse Replacement Referring to Figure 3-1, use the following procedure to check or replace the Fluke 27 fuses: 1. Perform steps 1 through 4 of the battery replacement procedure. 2. Pull the fuse cover down, then out of the meter.
1 Phillips-head screwdriver for all interior screws. Reassembly requires silicone lubricant (Parker Super O-Lube is recommended) and new seals. A Fluke seal kit (Model 8025 A-7401, Fluke Part Number 738112) provides a complete set of seals and four replacement screws and washers for the bottom case.

Maintenance General Maintenance Information 2. Note the small bump at the center of tone edge of the momentary switch (S3-S6). Place the momentary switch in the case with the bump toward the LCD display. 3. Place the digital pca in the top case with the connector toward the back of the instrument and at the top of the case.
3-12. Performance Tests The following procedures allow you to check the performance of the Fluke 27 against the specifications given in the Fluke 27 Users Manual. The procedures are recommended for incoming inspections, periodic calibration verification, and as an aid in troubleshooting.
100 Hz. 5. Verify that the UUT indicates between 2.684 and 2.716 V ac. 6. Program the DMM Calibrator for an output of 27 V ac, at 10 kHz. 7. Verify that the UUT indicates between 26.43 and 27.57 V ac.
18. Turn the function switch on the UUT to the dc mN/A position (mN/A). 19. Connect the DMM Calibrator output to the UUT mA/µA input terminal, then program the DMM Calibrator for an output of 27 mA dc. 20. Verify that the UUT indicates between 26.78 and 27.22 mA.
Use a non-conductive tool for adjustments. Note In the following procedures, the Fluke 27 is referred to as the unit under test, or UUT. 3-19. Calibration Preparation...
Service Manual 3-20. DC Voltage Connection The dc voltage function must be calibrated before calibrating the other functions. Use the following procedure to calibrate the dc voltage function. 1. Connect the DMM Calibrator to the UUT volts/ohms/diode-test input terminal and common.
7. Program the DMM Calibrator output for 1000 V ac at 10 kHz. 8. Adjust C10 to obtain a display of 1000 V ac ±1 V ac. 9. Program the DMM Calibrator output for 27.00 V ac at 10 kHz. 10. Adjust C8 to obtain a display of 27.00 V±0.01 V ac.
