It is only necessary to replace the fuse as needed. Change the Fuse Please refer to the Figure Figure 48. Change the Fuse W Caution To prevent damage to the instrument, use only the fuses specified by Fluke. Please see the section Table 7 How to Contact Fluke.
Battery Tester Maintenance To change the fuse: 1. Turn off the Product, unplug the power cord from mains power connector, and disconnect all test leads. 2. Insert a flat screwdriver into the clip under the fuse box and gently pry it until it is possible to hold the fuse holder by hand and take it out.

BT5300 Series User Manual Appendix Appendix 1. AC Four-terminal Method The instrument uses the AC four-terminal method. Generally, when measuring small resistances, the four-wire resistance measurement method should be used as much as possible. This is because when measuring resistance using two-wire method, the resistance of test leads and contact resistance will introduce additional errors, which often have a greater influence when measuring a small resistance.
Battery Tester Appendix Appendix 2. Precautions for Making Custom Test Cables Making Custom Test Leads for Multiplexer cards Multiplexer Cards use 68-pin D connectors to connect batteries to be test. For the pin definition of the connectors, see the section Multiplexer cards.

BT5300 Series User Manual For separate tips, the SOURCE and SENSE test points are at different positions, measured internal resistance is closer to the internal resistance of the battery, and measurement result is usually smaller than that of the concentric tips. The further the distance of two test points, the smaller the effect of the resistance of battery tabs.

Battery Tester Appendix Suggested Optimization Scheme: Reduce the Overlap of Loops Cell Avoid overlapping of SOURCE and SENSE loop areas Cell Avoid overlapping of SOURCE and SENSE loop areas Figure 55. Reducing the effect of eddy current by reducing the overlap area of loops The loop wiring of the SOURCE and SENSE wire is designed to avoid overlap as much as possible, which can reduce the effect of eddy current.

BT5300 Series User Manual Placing a magnetic field shielding material between the loop area and the conductor can also reduce the effect of eddy currents. As shown in Figure 56, the magnetic shielding material should be a material with high magnetic permeability and not easy to conduct electricity. The shielding material can restrain the magnetic field inside it, and the magnetic field on the nearby conductor metal is obviously weakened;...
Battery Tester Appendix Appendix 4. Zero Adjustment Zero adjustment is a function which adjusts the zero point by deducting the residual value obtained during 0 Ω measurement. For this reason, zero adjustment must be performed when connection is made to 0 Ω. However, connecting a sample with zero resistance is difficult and therefore is not practical.
BT5300 Series User Manual , are usually less than 10 Ω or lower, land SENSE-HI Because the cable resistances, R and R and SENSE-LO are voltage measurement terminals with high input impedance, almost no current flows. Therefor I = 0. The voltage between SENSE-HI and SENSE-LO is almost 0 V.
