Model 787 Calibration Manual Read First -- Safety Information 787 Calibration Module The calibration procedure for the 787 ProcessMeter requires the use of the 787 Calibration Module (hereafter, also referred to as the “Calibration Module”), which is designed for this purpose. Note It is critical that you be aware of the rating differences between the 787 ProcessMeter and the 787 Calibration Module.

Calibration Manual Read First -- Safety Information Warnings (Continued) Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check for test lead continuity. Replace damaged test leads as necessary. Do not use the ProcessMeter or the Calibration Module if either operates abnormally.
Note Unless otherwise indicated, all connection diagrams for the verification tests in this manual showing a calibrator or digital multimeter use a Fluke 5500A calibrator or HP 3458A. If you are using a different calibrator or DMM make the connections...
No Substitute Fluke MET/CAL Calibration Software 6.0 or later * HP 34401A may only be used in conjuction with Fluke 5520A. Specifications The 787 ProcessMeter’s performance and accuracy are specified for one year after calibration, at operating temperatures of +18 C to +28 C (64 F to 82 F), in relative humidity to 90 %, after the ProcessMeter has been warmed up for 5 minutes.

Calibration Manual Basic Maintenance Basic Maintenance Cleaning the 787 ProcessMeter and the 787 Calibration Module Warning To avoid electrical shock or damage, never allow water inside the case of the ProcessMeter or the 787 Calibration Module. If the ProcessMeter or the 787 Calibration Module requires cleaning, wipe it down with a cloth that is lightly dampened with water or a mild detergent.
5. Remove the fuse by gently prying one end loose, then sliding the fuse out of its bracket. 6. Replace the fuse only with a 440 mA 1000 V fast-blow fuse. (Fluke PN 943121.) Both fuses are the same type.
Calibration Manual Verification Tests LT014F.EPS Figure 2. Replacing a Fuse Verification Tests Warning Some of the verification tests involve the use of high voltages and should be performed by qualified personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, always place the calibrator in the Standby (STBY) mode between tests and before handling the test connections or test cables.
These procedures require Fluke’s MET/CAL Calibration Software version 6.0 or later, a 787 Calibration Module, a Fluke 5500A or 5520A Calibrator, and either an HP 34401A multimeter or an HP 3458A multimeter. Note that the HP 34401A may only be used in conjunction with the 5520A Calibrator.

Look for cracks, missing plastic, or damaged insulation. If damage is detected, do not continue; contact Fluke to arrange to have the ProcessMeter or Calibration Module serviced. Make sure that the battery door on the ProcessMeter is closed and latched before using the ProcessMeter.
Calibration Manual Calibration Note The calibration procedures assume that the person performing them knows how to use the 787 ProcessMeter and the required equipment. Do not attempt to calibrate the ProcessMeter unless you are qualified to do so. Throughout the following, “UUT” (unit under test) refers to the 787 ProcessMeter;...
