Clean contaminates from the pcas using isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush, followed by
demineralized water and a soft brush (remove the LCD before washing). Dry the pca at
50 to 60 degrees Celsius for 24 hours after washing (and before reassembly ) to assure
that no moisture is sealed in the instrument.

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. If the instrument fails any test, calibration adjustment or repair is
needed.
Prior to performing any of the sting procedures, allow the instrument to stabilize to room
temperature (18 to 28 degrees Celsius). Also, check the fuses and if the battery
annunciator is displayed, change the battery.
In the following procedures, the Fluke 27 is referred to as the unit under
test, or UUT.

instrument performs a power-up self test. All LCD segments in the display are switched
on while the test is in progress, then the instrument commences normal operation. This
automatic self test verifies that the instrument is functional and that all LCD segments
are functioning.
