The 8508A-Lead Measurement Lead Kit - Fluke 8508A User Manual

The 8508A-LEAD Measurement Lead Kit

To avoid electric shock and potential injury or death, DO NOT use low
voltage spade-terminated leads to connect to hazardous voltage (>32V
ac rms or > 42V pk). CAT II probes and test leads and adapters are
provided for Safe measurement at higher voltages.
To avoid electric shock and potential injury or death, ensure that the
4mm terminal post adapters are always securely tightened before use.
A CAT II DMM Probe, lead and adaptors kit is provided with the Multimeter.
Instructions for use are included in the 8508A-LEAD kit description below.
The optional 8508A-LEAD Kit is a comprehensive set of high integrity measurement
leads, designed for metrology applications. The kit and its contents are described below
and shown in figure 2-4. The kit includes the following:
1. Five low-thermal-EMF low-leakage leads sets for low voltage precision measurement
applications. All five lead sets feature gold-plated 6mm spade terminations.
Four of the leads are low-thermal, PTFE insulated and shielded for signal
applications.
One lead is a heavy gauge lead for high current (>2A rms) applications.
2. One CAT II DMM Probe and lead set (not shown) for general purpose and High
Voltage measurement applications. Terminal Post adapters plug into the 8508A
terminals and are then locked into place by gently but securely tightening them with
the hex key tool as shown. The 4mm Safety shrouded test lead plugs may then be
inserted into the adapters.
3. Two high-integrity 4-wire-zero PCBs. These PCBs are used to Input Zero the
Multimeter terminals during the Calibration and Verification procedures.
