Wireless Multimeter AC Zero Input Behavior of True-rms Meters AC Zero Input Behavior of True-rms Meters Average responding meters can accurately measure only pure sinewaves. A True-rms meter can accurately measure distorted waveform signals. A minimum input voltage is necessary for calculating True-rms converters to make a measurement. Because of this minimum input, True-rms meter specifications are only good for 1 % to 100 % of range.
3000 FC Users Manual Pair with Fluke Connect App Auto VDC When the Product radio is set to the App (send) mode, you can use the Fluke Connect app on a mobile device to view, save, and share measurements. To pair with the Fluke Connect app: 1. Turn on the Product (the radio is off at the initial power on). 2. Push to turn on the radio. 3. 4. Push to highlight the App (send) option. The display shows the radio mode selection screen. Push to enable the App selection. 24.
Wireless Multimeter Wireless Radio Setup To start the discovery procedure: When the discovery procedure is complete: 1. • the icon shows on the display • display updates to show a list of test tools with the ID number and the model name • arrow icon on the display indicates a scrollable list for more selections (up to 6) • a blinking ID number indicates the highlighted selection 2. Push to highlight the Tools (receive) option.
3000 FC Users Manual You can select up to 3 test tools and show their measurements on the Product display. The Product stays in the test tool selection mode for approximately 2 minutes. When in the Tool (receive) mode: • display updates to show the live measurement of the selected test tool (up to 3) To select a test tool: • the button blinks at 4 to 5 second intervals on the Product and each selected test tool • the button on each non-selected test tool does not blink 1. 2.
Wireless Multimeter Basic Measurements Disconnect the Wireless Radio You can use any one of these methods to disconnect a test tool radio from the Product. • Turn off the test tool. • Push on the test tool to turn off the radio in the test tool. The test tool remains turned on to continue measurements. • Push on the Product to select the test tool to disconnect and then push . All other test tools stay paired to the Product.
3000 FC Users Manual Volts AC Volts DC Millivolts DC gxr002.eps Figure 1.
Wireless Multimeter Basic Measurements Volts/Hertz Ratio The Product can show the ratio of volts to frequency of an ac signal. Set the Product as shown in Figure 2 to show Volts/Hertz ratio. When the Product is set to the Volts/Hz function, the voltage range is set to manual. If the voltage increases to a value larger than the range, the Product shows OL in the display. If the voltage drops to less than 5 % of the range, the value shown in the display can be invalid.
3000 FC Users Manual Resistance Measurements Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode junction. The Product sends a small current through the circuit for resistance measurements. Because the current flows through all possible paths between the probes, the resistance measured is the total resistance of all paths between the probes.
Wireless Multimeter Basic Measurements Capacitance Measurements Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode junction. Capacitance ranges are 1,000 nF, 10.00 μF, 100.0 μF, and 9999 μF. To measure capacitance, set up the Product as shown in Figure 4. gxr004.eps Figure 4.
3000 FC Users Manual Continuity Test Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode junction. The continuity test uses a beeper that sounds when a closed circuit is sensed. The beeper lets you do continuity tests without the necessity to look at the display. To do a continuity test, set up the Product as shown in Figure 5. gxr005.eps Figure 5.
Wireless Multimeter Basic Measurements AC or DC Current Measurements Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury: • Remove circuit power before you connect the Product in the circuit when you measure current. Connect the Product in series with the circuit. • Limit operation to the specified measurement category, voltage, or amperage ratings. Turn off circuit power, break the circuit, put the Product in series, and then turn on circuit power. The current ranges are 60.
3000 FC Users Manual DC gxr007.eps Figure 6.
Wireless Multimeter Basic Measurements Diode Test Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, disconnect power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you measure resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode junction Do a diode test on diodes, transistors, silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs), and other semiconductor devices. The function sends a current through the semiconductor junction and then measures the voltage drop across the junction.

Wireless Multimeter Basic Measurements Frequency Measurement A frequency measurement is a count of the number of times an ac voltage or current signal passes through a threshold point each second. Set up the Product as shown in Figure 8 to measure frequency. The Product autoranges to one of four frequency ranges: 99.99 Hz, 999.9 Hz, 9.999 kHz, and 99.99 kHz. Hints for frequency measurements: • If a measurement shows 0 Hz or is not stable, the input signal can be below or near a trigger level.
