medTester 5000C Field 
Upgrade Installation 
Instructions 

These instructions tell you how to perform an instrument 
firmware upgrade to a medTester 5000C and how to install 
optional modules into a Fluke Biomedical medTester 5000C

Note 

If you ordered more than one module and/or upgrade, you have 
received more than one set of these instructions. But you can 
perform all installations at the same time with one set of instructions.  

Before You Begin 

In these instructions, 

upgrade

 means that you are bringing up to date the firmware 

in your medTester 5000. Upgrading involves replacing firmware integrated circuits 
(ICs). 

Enabling modules

 means that you are installing software from diskettes to your 

medTester in order to make medTester modules available for use. 

In some cases you need to install additional ICs that work with specific 
medTester 5000C modules. These are the modules for Expanded Memory, and 
medCheck. You have received all of the parts necessary to perform the installation 
yourself and to enable individual medTester 5000C modules.  

If you have already had Fluke Biomedical upgrade your medTester or install 
modules at the factory, you are receiving the module installation disks in the event 
that you need to reinstall the modules later. Please save these instructions with 
your installation disks. Your instrument is ready to use.
