Safely Using the Test Tool
5
Warning
To avoid electrical shock or fire:
• Use only the power supply, Model PM8907
(Battery Charger / Power Adapter).
• Before use check that the selected/indicated
voltage range on the PM8907 matches the
local line power voltage and frequency.
• For the PM8907/808 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 PM8907/808 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.
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 as suitable for the Fluke 123/124
Test Tool.
• 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 wire (Figure 1,
item 5) 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.
