•
Use the 718Ex Calibrator only as described in the User
Manual and the Fluke 718Ex CCD (Concept Control
Drawing) or the protection provided by the calibrator
may be impaired.
•
Follow all equipment safety procedures.
•
Inspect the Calibrator before use. Do not use it if it
appears damaged.
•
Check the test leads for continuity, damaged insulation,
or exposed metal. Replace damaged test leads.
•
When using probes, keep fingers behind the finger
guards on the probes.
•
Make sure the battery door is closed before using the
Calibrator.
•
Never apply more than 30.0 V between the input
terminals, or between any terminal and earth ground.
•
Applying more than 30.0 V to the input terminals
invalidates the 718Ex Calibrator's Ex Approval and may
result in permanent damage to the unit so it can no
longer be used.
•
Use the proper terminals, mode, and range for the
measuring or sourcing application.
•
When making connections, connect the COM test probe
before the live test probe. When disconnecting,
disconnect the live probe before the COM probe.
•
Never use the 718Ex Calibrator with the red holster
removed.
•
Never open the 718Ex Calibrator case. Opening the case
invalidates the Calibrator's Ex Approval.
•
Replace the battery as soon as the B(low battery)
symbol appears to avoid false readings that can lead to
electric shock. Remove the 718Ex Calibrator from the Ex-
hazardous area before opening the battery door.
•
Use only type 9 V batteries, properly installed in the
meter case, to power the meter. For the 718Ex, refer to
"718Ex Approved Batteries".
