Detecting Ac Voltage Presence (117); Making Low Impedance Capacitance Measurements (115, 117) - Fluke 110 User Manual

Detecting AC Voltage Presence (117)

To detect the presence of ac voltage, place the top of the Meter close to a conductor. The Meter gives an audible
as well as visual indication when voltage is detected. The sensitivity settings are:
• Lo: use on flush mounted wall sockets, power strips, flush mounted industrial outlets and various power
cords.
• Hi: for ac voltage detection on other styles of recessed power connectors or sockets where the actual ac
voltage is recessed within the connector itself.
The VoltAlert detector works in bare wire applications with voltages as low as 24 V in the Hi setting.
If there is no indication, voltage could still be present. Do not rely on the VoltAlert detector with
shielded wire. Operation may be effected by differences in socket design, insulation thickness
and type.

Making Low Impedance Capacitance Measurements (115, 117)

For making capacitance measurements on cables with ghost voltage:
1. Hold q as you turn on the Meter to enable the low-input impedance Capacitance mode.
2. Wait until LCAP shows on the display.
In this mode, capacitance measurements will have a lower accuracy and lower dynamic range.
This setting is not saved when the Meter is turned off or goes into sleep mode.
