Input Jacks
Warning
To avoid personal injury or equipment dam-
age, never attempt a voltage measurement if
a test lead is in the 10A jack.
The meter has four input jacks (Figure 2) that are pro-
tected against overloads to the limits shown on the front
and back of the meter.
Thermocouple Adapter
Warning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal
injury, do not connect the thermocouple to
voltages exceeding 30 V.
The 80BK Thermocouple Adapter allows you to use a
thermocouple to measure temperature. If the adapter
gets lost or damaged, replace the adapter with a Fluke-
specified part (see Table 4) to ensure optimum perform-
ance of the thermocouple.
The meter measures temperature using Type-K thermo-
couple probes. This thermocouple is suitable for making
surface temperature measurements from -40
°
C
(or
°
F) to 260
°
C (500
°
F) in teflon-compatible environ-
ments.
Warning
To avoid personal injury or equipment dam-
age, do not use this thermocouple in liquids
or at temperatures above 260
°
C (500
°
F). At
these temperatures the teflon insulation can
emit toxic gases
