WWarnings and Cautions
To prevent fire, explosion, or personal injury:
Use the Calibrator only as described in the User
Manual and the Fluke 725Ex CCD (Concept Control
Drawing) or the protection provided by the Calibrator
may be impaired.
Inspect the Calibrator before use. Do not use it if it
appears damaged.
Check the test leads for continuity, damaged
insulation, or exposed metal. Replace damaged test
leads.
When using probes, keep fingers behind the finger
guards on the probes
Never apply more than 30.0 V between the input
terminals, or between any terminal and earth ground.
Applying more than 30.0 V to the input terminals
invalidates the Calibrator’s Ex Approval and may
result in permanent damage to the Calibrator so it
can no longer be used.
Use the proper terminals, mode, and range for the
measuring or sourcing application.
To prevent damage to the device under test, be sure
the Calibrator is in the correct mode before
connecting the test leads.
Never open the Calibrator case. Opening the case
invalidates the Calibrator’s Ex Approval.
Make sure the battery door is closed and latched
before entering an Ex hazardous area or using the
Calibrator. See Ex Hazardous Areas in the Users
Manual.
Remove the Calibrator from the Ex hazardous area
before opening the battery door. See Ex Hazardous
Areas in the Users Manual.
When servicing the Calibrator, use only specified
replacement parts. Do not open the Calibrator case.
Opening the case invalidates the Calibrator’s Ex
Approval.
Do not allow water inside the case.
Do not operate the Calibrator around explosive dust.
When using a pressure module, make sure the process
pressure line is shut off and depressurized before
connecting it or disconnecting it from the pressure
module.
Use only 4 AA batteries listed in Table 2. Approved
Batteries, properly installed in the Calibrator case, to
power the Calibrator.
Disconnect test leads from the circuit under test before
changing to another measure or source function.
When measuring the pressure of toxic or flammable
gases, care must be taken to minimize the possibility of
leakage. Confirm that all pressure connections are
properly sealed.
Do not use in a damp or wet environment.
WCaution
To avoid possible damage to Calibrator or to equipment
under test:
Disconnect the power and discharge all high-voltage
capacitors before testing resistance or continuity.
Use the proper jacks, function, and range for the
measurement or sourcing application.
