Safety Information

XWWarning

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury,

follow these guidelines:

•Use the Tester only as specified in this

instruction sheet, otherwise the protection

provided by the Tester may be impaired.

•The Tester is to be used only by qualified

personnel.

•Do not use the Tester if it is damaged. Inspect

the case before use. 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

using the Tester.

•Do not use the Tester if it operates abnormally.

Protection may be impaired. When in doubt, have

the Tester serviced.

•Do not operate the Tester around explosive gas,

vapor, or dust.

•Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as

marked on the Tester, between terminals or

between any terminal and earth ground.

•When measuring hazardous voltage, verify the

Tester’s operation by measuring a known

voltage.

•Only the test probes and batteries are

serviceable. When servicing, use only specified

replacement parts.

•To determine the LEDs and beeper are working

correctly, short the test leads together. The

beeper sounds (if enabled) and all LEDs and

display segments (T+ PRO) switch on briefly

indicating correct operation.

•Comply with local and national safety

requirements when working in hazardous

locations.

•Use proper protective equipment, as required by

local or national authorities when working in

hazardous areas.

•Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42

V peak, or 60 V dc. Such voltages pose a shock

hazard.

•When using the probes, keep fingers away from

the ends of the probe tips.

•Connect the common test lead before

connecting the live test lead. When

disconnecting the test leads, disconnect the live

test lead first.

•Do not operate the Tester with the battery door

or portions of the cover removed or loosened.

•When the batteries are depleted, self test will not

function.

•When the beeper is disabled, it will not sound

until the beeper is reactivated.

•For voltages above 240 V, you must only connect

to a voltage source for a MAXIMUM of 30s and

then disconnect for a MINIMUM of 300s.

•Perform a self test before any measurements are

taken for voltage, continuity, resistance, or

rotary field. See “Self Test”.

•Exercise caution when performing

measurements on PLC (Programmable Logical

Controller) inputs. When measuring relay control

voltages on PLCs, be aware that this may open

or close the relay/switch.

•All appliances or equipment on the circuit being

tested should be unplugged to help avoid

erroneous readings.

WCaution

Although the Tester may be used with depleted batteries,

replace depleted batteries immediately to avoid Tester

damage from battery acid leakage.

Beeper

When the Tester detects a voltage, the LEDs light to indicate the

voltage level, the Tester vibrates, and a beeper sounds (the T+

PRO also shows the voltage on the display). The beeper tones are

different depending on what is being measured:

•AC voltage - the beeper is a chirping tone

•DC voltage - the beeper is a steady tone

•Continuity - the beeper is a steady tone for resistances less

than 20 kΩ

Note

If any voltage is present, the Tester automatically

switches to voltage mode.

To turn the beeper on or off, press Zfor more than 3 seconds.

Each time the beeper is activated or deactivated, the Tester emits

3 short beeps.

Batteries are required for this feature.

Vibration Voltage Indication

The Tester vibrates when voltages 40 V and higher are measured.

Batteries are required for vibration to function.

Automatic Operation

The Tester automatically turns on when the probes are placed

across a complete circuit. The Tester selects continuity, ac or dc

voltage modes based on the resistance or voltage between the

probes. The tester switches off immediately after the test probes

are removed from the circuit under test or after 5 seconds if Cis

released when the probes are not attached to a test circuit. If the

HOLD function is activated, this switches off after 1 minute if a

voltage is not detected.

HOLD

Press Hto freeze the display reading. Press again to release

HOLD. HOLD does not interfere with the voltage LED function.

Self Test

XWWarning

To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:

•Perform a self test before any measurements are

taken for voltage, continuity, resistance, or rotary

field.

•When the batteries are depleted, self test will not

function. Replace the batteries.

WCaution

Although the Tester may be used with depleted batteries,

replace depleted batteries immediately to avoid Tester

damage from battery acid leakage.

To perform the self test, short the two probes. The self test lights

all LEDs, and all LCD segments (T+ PRO). The beeper sounds

(unless disabled) and the Tester switches to continuity mode. The

self test will then be de-activated for 30 seconds. If the self test

needs to be repeated, wait 30 seconds.

To complete the check procedure, always measure a known

voltage before use. If the Tester fails self test or voltage check, it

must not be used and requires service. See “Contacting Fluke”.

Measuring Voltage

To measure voltage, connect the probes to the circuit under test.

The voltage is indicated by the voltage LED stack and beeper (if

enabled). The T+PRO will show the measurement on the LCD for

voltages > 10 V; < 10 V the LCD remains blank. The AC, DC+ and

DC- LEDs will only operate for voltages greater than 24 V. Refer

to Figure 2.

Testing for Continuity

XW Warning

To avoid electrical shock:

•Make sure the power to the circuit is turned off and

all capacitors are discharged.

•If the beeper is disabled, the Tester will not beep and

only Pwill light. On the T+ PRO, the display will

also show F.

To measure continuity, turn off circuit power and connect the

probes to the circuit under test. Continuity (a resistance less than

20 kΩ) is indicated by the beeper and a lighted P. If the beeper

is disabled, it will not sound during this test. The T+PRO shows F

on the LCD. If the resistance is greater than 20 kΩ, the beeper will

not sound and Pwill not light. Refer to Figure 3.
