Read Safety Information before you use the Product. This manual explains the Performance Tests for the 377/377 FC/378/378 FC Clamp Meter (the Product, the Jaw, or the device under test (DUT)). See the 377/377 FC/378/378 FC Users Manual for usage information.
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, do not perform the performance test procedures unless the Product is fully assembled. Fluke recommends a 1-year cycle for the Performance Tests. If the Product fails any test, return the Product to a Fluke Service Center or Authorized Service Partner. See Contact Fluke for more information.
Clamp Meter Performance Test Procedures Caution To prevent damage to the DUT, verify the applied voltage to the DUT does not exceed the rating of the DUT insulation and the interconnection wiring. b. Push to activate the Calibrator output and apply the voltage to the DUT. 5.
