Introduction
The 85RF II High Frequency Probe (the Probe) transforms a
dc voltmeter into a high frequency (100 kHz to 500 MHz) ac
voltmeter. Conversion from ac to dc is done on a one-to-one
basis and includes a range of 0.25 V rms to 30 V rms. The
Probe's dc output is calibrated to be equal to the rms value
of a sine wave input.

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal
injury:
Examine the case before you use the Product.
Look for cracks or missing plastic. Carefully
look at the insulation around the terminals.
Limit operation to the specified measurement
category, voltage, or amperage ratings.
Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac
peak, or 60 V dc.
Do not use the Product around explosive gas,
vapor, or in damp or wet environments.
Do not use and disable the Product if it is
damaged.
Use the Product only as specified, or the
protections supplied by the Product can be
compromised.
Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT)
rating of the lowest rated individual component
of a Product, Probe, or accessory.
Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the
Probes.
Do not connect directly to mains.

  • Page 2: Specifications

    Operating altitude: 3000 m Warranty: 1 year Voltmeter Compatibility The 85RF II can be used with a dc voltmeter that has an input resistance of 10 Me, ±10 %. Voltmeters with higher input resistances are usable if an external shunt is put across the input terminals.
  • Page 3: Operation

    Operation To operate the 85RF II Probe: 1. Connect the Probe output to a compatible voltmeter with an applicable shunt (if necessary.) The Probe’s output low must be connected to voltmeter low. 2. Set a voltage range (1 V dc reading for each 1 V rms Probe input).
  • Page 4: Performance Test/Calibration

    If the Probe cannot be calibrated to the specifications in this document, the Probe could be damaged and require replacement or repair. Contact Fluke for instructions. 1. Configure the equipment as shown in Figure 2. Use the leveled sine function of the scope output to set the AC Calibrator signal generator for 1 V rms at 25 MHz and the DMM to measure 1 V dc.
