Read First – Safety Information
In this calibration manual, a Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose
hazard(s) to the user. A Caution identifies conditions and actions that may damage the
Calibrator or the test instruments.
W Warning
To avoid electric shock, injury, damage to the Calibrator, or ignition of
an explosive atmosphere, follow all equipment safety procedures.
Use the Calibrator only as described in this manual, the 725Ex
Users 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 unit 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 unit under test, be sure the Calibrator is
in the correct mode before connecting the test leads.
When making connections, connect the COM test probe before the
live test probe. When disconnecting, disconnect the live probe
before the COM probe.
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”.
Replace the batteries as soon as the B (low battery) symbol
appears to avoid false readings that can lead to electric shock.
Remove the Calibrator from the Ex-hazardous area before opening
the battery door. See “Ex-Hazardous Areas”.
Remove test leads from the Calibrator before opening the battery
door.
Measurement Category I (CAT I) is defined for measurements
performed on circuits not directly connected to the mains.
Turn off circuit power before connecting the Calibrator mA and
COM terminals in the circuit. Place the Calibrator in series with the
circuit.
