189II/AN Service Manual Reassembling the Meter Case To reassemble the Meter case, do the following: 1. Verify the rotary switch knob is in the position (arrow on the rotary switch detent points straight up to the LCD). 2. Install the display bezel, LCD, and top shield into the top case.
3. Remove either fuse by gently prying one end loose, then lifting the fuse out of the fuse contacts. 4. Install only Fluke specified replacement fuses with the amperage, voltage, and interrupt ratings shown in the replacement parts list (see Table 9).
189II/AN Service Manual 3. Replace the batteries, observing proper polarity. Replace the battery door and secure it by turning the fastener to the lock position. 11 A 0.44 A est32.eps Figure 3. Battery and Fuse Replacement Cleaning Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Do not use abrasives, isopropyl alcohol, or solvents.
True-rms Digital Multimeter Performance Tests Factory Default Prior to completing the Performance tests reset the Meter to the factory defaults as follows: 1. Power the Meter on in any function. 2. Press F4 (Setup) and select Reset using arrow keys. 3.
Append line feeds to incoming line ends Wrap lines that exceed terminal width 9. Enter the identification command <ID> followed by carriage return (Enter) 10. The Meter should return the response: FLUKE 189II, VX.XX, X, indicating the model, software version, and serial number. Note...
