Performance Test
Verify the accuracy of the probe by measuring a 15 kV dc
(
±
0.25 %) voltage source. When used with a compatible
dc voltmeter, the probe should measure the source with
±
1% accuracy. No calibration adjustments are needed.

80K-15
Electronic Air Cleaner Probe
Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The 80K-15 Electronic Air Cleaner Probe (hereafter referred
to as “the probe”) is a low energy probe that extends the
voltage measuring capability of an ac/dc voltmeter or
multimeter.
Properly connected, the probe is rated to 15 kV Overvoltage
Category I. The use of the probe is restricted to low energy
applications, which are energy limited circuits like
electrostatic air cleaners.
Do not use this probe to
measure high voltages on power distribution systems.
The probe is a precision 1000 : 1 voltage divider formed by
two matched resistors. The unusually high input impedance
offered by these resistors minimizes circuit loading and
thereby optimizes measurement accuracy.

Read First: Safety Information

Warning
To avoid possible personal injury or electrical shock:
•
Use the probe within its voltage ratings and in dry
conditions (no condensation is present).
•
Be familiar with and exercise all possible high
voltage safety practices.
•
DO NOT use this probe to measure high voltage on
power distribution systems.
•
Always hold the probe by its gray handle. Never
allow the probe tip or the yellow part of the probe
to make body contact.
•
Before making a measurement, make sure that the
side of the probe plug with the GND tab is plugged
into the low (COM) terminal of the meter.
•
Attach the grounding lead to earth ground.
•
Use a meter with an impedance of 10 M
Ω
(
±
1% ).
Using a meter with an input impedance less than
10 M
Ω
reduces the accuracy of the reading by
causing it to be lower than the voltage present.
•
DO NOT use the probe with a Fluke multimeter that
is in the k Chek

or Automatic Selection mode (i.e.
Fluke 16, Fluke 12B etc.). The input impedance in
these modes is very low.
•
Make sure the probe tip is firmly attached to the
body of the probe.
•
DO NOT use the probe around explosive gas,
vapor, or dust.
•
DO NOT use the probe if it operates abnormally.
Protection may be impaired. When in doubt have
the probe serviced.
