Before using, inspect the test leads for mechanical damage and replace damaged test leads! If it is likely that safety has been impaired, turn the Fluke 43B off and disconnect it from the line power. The matter should then be referred to qualified personnel. - Page 7 Turn the Fluke 43B on. The opening screen will appear on the display (see Figure 3). Note If the Fluke 43B does not turn on, the batteries may be dead. Leave the Fluke 43B connected to the outlet for 15 minutes and try again.
- Page 8 Fluke 43B Getting Started Figure 3. Opening Screen The screen shows which test leads or probes you should use on the inputs. TEST Note that in the screen shown in Figure 3, for example, you should use for voltage measurements and a 1 mV/A current probe for current LEADS measurements.
- Page 9 Use the black test lead on the COM input ( Use these inputs for all voltage measurements, and for Ohm, continuity, diode capacitance and temperature measurements. The Fluke 43B common inputs (red INPUT 1 shield, gray INPUT 2 shield, and black COM input) are connected internally via self-recovering fault protection.

Fluke 43B Getting Started Selecting Probes For standard operation, use the red test lead on input , the black test lead on COM and the current clamp on input . If you are using other test leads or probes, you must change the probe settings accordingly. - Page 15 Getting Started Selecting Probes Move to the probe settings for input 2. (for the i400s current probe) Accept the probe settings for input 2. Note Select 1V/A when using testleads on input [2] in the Scope Mode. A reading of 1A then equals 1V.
