FieldSense Voltage Function
The tests in this section require the use of a PRV240FS Proving Unit (Fluke P/N 4910310) and a Fluke 8846A Multimeter.
1.
Set the 8846A to the AC Voltage measurement mode (ACV button) and range manually to the 1000 V range.
2.
Set the PRV240FS selector switch to AC Voltage.
3.
To measure the ac output voltage of the PRV240FS, connect the test leads from the 8846A to the (+) and (-) contacts of the
PRV240FS. The (+) contact of the PRV240FS must be depressed to activate the output. A green LED turns on when the output
is activated.
4.
Record the measured voltage.
5.
For T6-1000 only:
a.
Set the 8846A to the AC Voltage measurement mode and range manually to the 1000 V range.
b.
Connect the test leads from the 8846A to the (+) and (-) contacts of the PRV240FS. The (+) contact of the PRV240FS must
be depressed to activate the output. A green LED turns on when the output is activated.
c.
When the voltage shows on the 8846A display, push the FREQ button on the 8846A.
d.
Record the measured frequency.
6.
Set the selector switch of the PRV240FS to FieldSense.
7.
Set the T6 tester to the FieldSense measurement mode. If needed, use the SHIFT button on the tester to switch to the
AC voltage mode.
8.
Place the Product current fork into position on the PRV240FS.
9.
Place the BLACK test lead of the tester into the Test Lead Ground Contact of the PRV240FS. The Test Lead Ground Contact
must be depressed to activate the output. A green LED turns on when the output is activated.
10. Record the measured FieldSense voltage. If the tester is a T6-1000, record the measured frequency also.
11. Compare the PRV240FS ac output voltage and frequency measured with the 8846A to the T6 FieldSense measured values.
12. Verify that the T6 measured values are within the accuracy specifications for the voltage and frequency output of the PRV240FS.
Resistance and Continuity Functions
1.
Set the calibrator to the resistance listed in Table 9, Step 1.
2.
Set the Product to the resistance measurement mode.
3.
Apply the resistance to the Product and verify that the readings are within the display limits in Table 9.
4.
Apply the resistances and verify the readings for the remaining steps in Table 9.
