Powering the Tester

The Tester uses a 9-volt alkaline battery. It uses as much
of the battery as possible. When it detects less than about
6.8 V, it sounds a continuous tone alarm. When it detects
less than 6.0 V, it goes into a shutdown mode

The battery resides in the base of the instrument. Use a
9-volt alkaline battery (Duracell

®

MN1604 or equivalent).

Do not use a mercury, air, or carbon-zinc battery.

W Warning

The 9-volt alkaline battery provided with the
Tester may explode or leak if recharged,
inserted improperly, disposed of in a fire, or
mixed with different battery types. Dispose of
the battery in accordance with any applicable
state or local regulations.

As an alternative to a battery, you can power the Tester
with a Fluke Biomedical Battery Eliminator. To ensure
safe operation, use only a Fluke Biomedical Battery
Eliminator (PN 2647372).

WXWarning

Caution risk of electric shock. Use only the
Battery Eliminator specified in this manual or
the protection provided may be impaired.

Note

Remove the battery and disconnect the Battery
Eliminator if you do not intend to use the Tester
for an extended period.
