287/289 Calibration Manual Reassembling the Meter Case To reassemble the Meter case, do the following: 1. Verify the rotary switch knob is in the N position (arrow on the rotary switch detent points straight up to the LCD). 2. Install the display bezel, LCD, and top shield into the top case.
3. Remove either fuse by gently prying one end loose, then lifting the fuse out of the fuse contacts. 4. Install only Fluke specified replacement fuses with the amperage, voltage, and interrupt ratings shown in the replacement parts list (see Table 8).
To perform the tests you will need a Fluke 5520A Calibrator or equipment meeting the minimum specification given in Table 2. Prior to beginning the accuracy tests, allow for the Meter to stabilize to room temperature.
True-rms Digital Multimeters Performance Tests Factory Default Prior to completing the Performance tests Reset the Meter to the factory defaults as follows: 1. Power the Meter on in any function. 2. Press F4 (Setup) and select Reset using arrow keys. 3.
Append line feeds to incoming line ends Wrap lines that exceed terminal width 9. Enter the identification command <ID> followed by carriage return (Enter) 10. The Meter should return the response: FLUKE 289, VX.XX, X, indicating the model, software version, and serial number. Note...
6. If the display reading falls outside of the Display Reading Limits shown in Table 4, the Meter does not meet specification and requires adjustment or repair. 7.
