Operation
Warning
To prevent electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:
• Read these instructions carefully before using the Product.
• Use the Product only with Fluke test tools that have the type
number ‘BC190’ specified for charge and operation.
• Use this Product only as specified.
• Do not open the Product, it has no user-serviceable parts inside.
•
Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp
or wet environments.
The power cord connects the power adapter to the mains system. Do
not block access to the power cord and power plug, these must remain
accessible to the user at all times.
The Product is not equipped with a power switch. Disconnect the mains
plug from the mains system when not in use.
In case the power adapter is damaged or any damage is suspected,
disconnect from the mains system and have qualified service personnel
inspect the Product, before reconnecting to the mains system again.
To use:
1. Connect the mains plug adapter to the universal power cord.
2. Connect the cable to the Battery Charger/Power Adapter.
3. Connect the power plug adapter to the mains system.
4. Connect the dc plug to the instrument.
The Product operates and charges the Fluke instrument from local
line voltage. Any power supply connected to the ScopeMeter test tool
introduces a certain capacitive coupling between the test tool and ground
through the power supply circuitry. This capacitive coupling can affect
ScopeMeter measurements. The BC190/820 main unit is equipped
with dedicated decoupling networks to reduce possible effects of such
capacitive coupling during measurements.
For an optimal decoupling from ground, especially if low-level
measurements are made, it is recommended to work in battery-operated
mode without any power adapter connected. See the ScopeMeter User
Manual for safety information before making any measurements.
Note
Always fully charge the instrument battery before storing the
test tool.
