Warnings and Precautions

Do not use the Meter if it is damaged. Before you use the Meter, inspect the case.

Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.

Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged test leads before you use the Meter.

Do not use the Meter if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have the Meter serviced.

Do not operate the Meter around explosive gas, vapor, or dust.

Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.

Before use, verify the Meter’s operation by measuring a known voltage.

When measuring current, turn off circuit power before connecting the Meter in the circuit. Remember to place the Meter in series with the circuit.

When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts.

Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V peak, or 60 V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.

Avoid working alone

.

When using the probes, keep your fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.

Connect the common test lead before you connect the live test lead. When you disconnect test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.

Remove test leads from the Meter before you open the battery door.

Do not operate the Meter with the battery door or portions of the cover removed or loosened.

To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal injury, replace the batteries as soon as the low battery indicator (

M

) appears.

Use only type AA batteries, properly installed in the Meter case, to power the

Meter.

Caution

To avoid possible damage to the Meter or to the equipment under test, follow these

guidelines:

Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance, continuity, diodes, or capacitance.

Use the proper terminals, function, and range for your measurements.

Before measuring current, check the Meter's fuses and turn power OFF to the circuit before connecting the Meter to the circuit.

Keypad Interface

To start the calibration procedure, turn the rotary switch to the DC mV position, then press and hold the recessed calibration button on the back of the Meter for one second.

This places the Meter in calibration mode as shown on the display in Figure 6. The unit will remain in the calibration mode until the rotary switch is moved to the

OFF

position.

General Procedure

A sequence of signal inputs is required for each function that must be calibrated. The secondary display shows the required input next to the step number for that function.

The primary display shows the value being measured. The measurement is likely to be slightly different from the applied signal, because it may be showing an uncalibrated measurement. The general calibration procedure is as follows:

1.

Move the rotary switch to the function that you are calibrating.

2.

Apply the input signal indicated by the secondary display.

3.

Wait for the measurement on the primary display to settle out to its final value.

4.

Press the

UP

button to proceed to the next step. The Meter records a new constant.

5.

Repeat steps 2 through 4 until the secondary display shows

End

. This indicates that the calibration procedure for this function is complete. New constants will not be recorded until secondary display shows

End

.

6.

If there are more functions to be calibrated, move the rotary switch to the appropriate function, and continue from step one. Otherwise, turn the rotary switch to the

OFF

position to exit calibration.

Note

DC mV calibration affects the calibration of ALL functions and AC mV will affect all AC functions.

If the accuracy of the calibration source is more than approximately

15 % from the nominal value required for the cal point, then the factory default cal constants will automatically be used instead of source value.

In this case, the Meter may not pass the verification test and may require re-calibration.

Calibration

Special Requirements

DC mV calibration will affect the calibration of all other functions. Therefore, the DC

.sk

mV function must be calibrated before calibrating any other function. Similarly, AC mV must be calibrated before any AC function, but after DC mV. The remaining functions

Temperature calibration need only be performed if one of the following components are replaced during the course of repair: U4 A/D chip, U10 EEPROM, or U100 Reference

Junction Sensor. Temperature is calibrated by making an external temperature measurement and entering the result into the instrument for calculation of the calibration constant. The calibration constant is then stored in calibration memory. This is done using the serial interface. See “Temperature Calibration” section.

When you replace the U10 EEPROM, you must also re-enter the serial number and model number for the Meter. See “Reprogramming Meter Serial Number and Model

Number” section.

Remote Interface

You can perform semi-automated calibration with the remote interface using MET/CAL software.

Temperature Calibration

Required equipment:

Fluke 87/89-IV, 187/189 Service Software, Fluke P/N 676152

Infrared Serial Cable Kit, Fluke P/N 1590638

IBM compatible PC

Fluke 80T-150U with accuracy certified to +0.2

°

C

Fluke 8060A Digital Multimeter

Note

The following procedure is only required if the Meter has been repaired by replacing one of the following components: A/D, U4, Reference Junction

Sensor, U100 or EEPROM, U10.

Setup

Prior to beginning the procedure, turn the rotary switch

OFF

. Let the Meter stabilize in a constant ambient temperature for 30 minutes. This allows the internal reference junction sensor and input terminals to stabilize to the same temperature.

Connect the IR Serial Cable to the serial com port of the PC. Install the 87/89-IV,

187/189 Service Software.

25

187/189

Calibration Manual

Procedure

While the rotary switch is in the

OFF

position, insert the certified 80T-150 probe into the

.sk

Meter’s

COM

terminal (same temperature as reference junction). Make sure the probe tip makes firm contact with the bottom of the terminal. Measure and record the

COM

terminal temperature in units of 1/100

°

C. Do not convert this number to Fahrenheit, even if the Meter is using the Fahrenheit scale for its display output.

Turn the rotary switch to the temperature position. It does not matter whether the Meter is in calibration mode. On the Service Software menu screen, click

°

C Ref. Junction

.

Enter the measured temperature value in the text box and click

OK

. This sends the recorded reference junction temperature to the Meter through the IR Serial Cable.

Although the temperature calibration is not yet complete, it is safe at this point to turn the Meter off if the need arises. Doing so will not invalidate the previous steps.

To complete the temperature calibration, the DC mV function must be calibrated.

After DC mV calibration is complete:

1.

Turn the rotary switch to the temperature position. Put the Meter in calibration mode by pressing the recessed button on the back of the Meter.

The secondary display, which normally shows the required input, displays zero. In this case, no input is required.

2.

Press the

UP

button.

This sends the calculated temperature constants to EEPROM, and completes the temperature calibration.

3.

Continue calibrating the other functions, or turn the rotary switch to the

OFF

position to exit calibration.

Re-Programming Serial Number or Model Number

When the U10 EEPROM is replaced, you must also reenter the serial number and model number for the Meter. Do this as follows:

1.

Connect the IR Serial Cable to the serial com port of the PC. Install 87/89-IV,

187/189 Service Software (Fluke P/N 676152).

2.

Turn the Meter rotary switch to any function.

3.

On the Service Software menu screen, click

EEPROM

. Enter the serial number from the back of the Meter in the text box and click

OK

. To enter the model number, click

Yes

or

No

in the model menu box.
