Getting Started
Safety Information: Read First
The Fluke Models 192C, 196C, 199C, 215C and 225C
ScopeMeter test tools (hereafter referred to as “test tool”) comply with:
S82.01-1994
•
EN/IEC61010-1 : 2001
No.61010-1-04
•
1000 V Measurement Category II, 600 V
Measurement Category III, Pollution Degree 2
• UL61010B-1
Use the test tool only as specified in the Users Manual.
Otherwise, the protection provided by the test tool might be impaired.
A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s) to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the test tool.

Fluke 19xC-2x5C
Getting Started
Warning
To avoid electrical shock or fire:
• Use only the Fluke power supply, Model
BC190 (Battery Charger / Power Adapter).
• Before use check that the selected/indicated
voltage range on the BC190 matches the local line power voltage and frequency.
• For the BC190/808 universal Battery
Charger/Power Adapter use only line cords
that comply with the local safety regulations.
Note
To accommodate connection to various line power sockets, the BC190/808 universal Battery
Charger / Power Adapter is equipped with a male plug that must be connected to a line cord appropriate for local use. Since the adapter is isolated, the line cord does not need to be equipped with a terminal for connection to protective ground. Since line cords with a protective grounding terminal are more commonly available you might consider using these anyhow.
2
Warning
To avoid electrical shock or fire if a test tool input is connected to more than 42 V peak (30
Vrms) or on circuits of more than 4800 VA:
• Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads
and adapters supplied with the test tool, or indicated by Fluke as suitable for the Fluke
19xC-2x5C ScopeMeter series.
• Before use, inspect voltage probes, test leads
and accessories for mechanical damage and replace when damaged.
• Remove all probes, test leads and
accessories that are not in use.
• Always connect the battery charger first to
the ac outlet before connecting it to the test tool.
• Do not connect the ground spring (Figure 1,
item f) to voltages higher than 42 V peak (30
Vrms) from earth ground.
• Do not apply input voltages above the rating
of the instrument. Use caution when using 1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage will be directly transmitted to the test tool.
• Do not use exposed metal BNC or banana
plug connectors.
• Do not insert metal objects into connectors.
• Always use the test tool only in the manner
specified.
Max. Input Voltages
Input A and B directly ............................... 300 V CAT III
Input A and B via 10:1 probe ................... 1000 V CAT II
600 V CAT III
METER/EXT TRIG inputs........................1000 V CAT II
600 V CAT III
Max. Floating Voltage
From any terminal to earth ground .......... 1000 V CAT II
600 V CAT III
Between any terminal .............................. 1000 V CAT II
600 V CAT III
Voltage ratings are given as “working voltage”. They should be read as Vac-rms (50-60 Hz) for AC sinewave applications and as Vdc for DC applications.
Measurement Category III refers to distribution level and fixed installation circuits inside a building.
Measurement Category II refers to local level, which is applicable for appliances and portable equipment.
Getting Started
Safety Information: Read First
The terms ‘Isolated’ or ‘Electrically floating’ are used in this manual to indicate a measurement in which the test tool input BNC or banana jack is connected to a voltage different from earth ground.
The isolated input connectors have no exposed metal and are fully insulated to protect against electrical shock.
The red and gray BNC jacks, and the red and black
4-mm banana jacks can independently be connected to a voltage above earth ground for isolated (electrically floating) measurements and are rated up to 1000 Vrms
CAT II and 600 Vrms CAT III above earth ground.
If Safety Features are Impaired
Use of the test tool in a manner not specified may
impair the protection provided by the equipment.
Before use, inspect the test leads for mechanical damage and replace damaged test leads!
Whenever it is likely that safety has been impaired, the test tool must be turned off and disconnected from the line power. The matter should then be referred to qualified personnel. Safety is likely to be impaired if, for example, the test tool fails to perform the intended measurements or shows visible damage.

Fluke 19xC-2x5C
Getting Started
Preparing for Use
At delivery, the installed NiMH batteries may be empty and must be charged for 4 hours (with the test tool turned off) to reach full charge:
• use only the Fluke Battery Charger/Power Adapter model BC190
• before use check that the BC190 voltage and frequency range match the local line power range
• connect the battery charger to the ac outlet
• connect the battery charger to the appropriate input on the test tool near Input B.
Caution
To prevent decrease of the battery capacity, you must charge the batteries at least once a year.
Powering/Resetting the Test Tool
Turning power on/off:
The test tool powers up in its last setup configuration.
Resetting the test tool to the factory settings:
+
Turn power off, then press and hold the
USER key and turn on. You should hear a double beep.
