2 Preparing the Meter for Operation Introduction Introduction This chapter explains how to prepare the Meter for operation by selecting the proper line voltage, connecting the proper power cord for the selected line voltage, and turning the Meter on. Also included is information on the proper storage, shipping, and cleaning of the Meter. Unpacking and Inspecting the Meter Every care is taken in the choice of packing material to ensure that your Meter will reach you in perfect condition. If the Meter has been subject to excessive handling in transit, there may be visible external damage to the shipping carton. In the event of damage, keep the shipping container and packing material for the carrier's inspection. Carefully unpack the Meter from its shipping container and inspect the contents for damaged or missing items. If the Meter appears damaged or something is missing, contact the carrier and Fluke immediately. Save the container and packing material in case you have to return the Meter.

Storing and Shipping the Meter To prepare the Meter for storage or shipping, place it inside a sealed bag, fit the bag into the packing material inside the original shipping container, and then secure the package. Use the original shipping container if possible, as it provides shock isolation for normal handling operations. If the original shipping container is not available, use a box that is 17.5 x 15.5 x 8.0 inches, with cushioning material that fills the space between the Meter and the sides of the box. To store the Meter, place the box under cover in a location that complies with the storage environment specifications described in the "General Specifications" section in Chapter 1. Power Considerations The Meter operates on varying power distribution standards found throughout the world and must be set up to operate on the line voltage that will power it. The Meter is packed ready for use with a line voltage determined at the time of ordering. If the selected line voltage does not match the power that the Meter will be plugged into, the Meter's linevoltage setting must be changed and replacement of the line fuse may be required. 2-3

Introduction
This chapter explains how to prepare the Meter for operation by selecting the proper line
voltage, connecting the proper power cord for the selected line voltage, and turning the
Meter on. Also included is information on the proper storage, shipping, and cleaning of
the Meter.
Unpacking and Inspecting the Meter
Every care is taken in the choice of packing material to ensure that your Meter will reach
you in perfect condition. If the Meter has been subject to excessive handling in transit,
there may be visible external damage to the shipping carton. In the event of damage, keep
the shipping container and packing material for the carrier’s inspection.
Carefully unpack the Meter from its shipping container and inspect the contents for
damaged or missing items. If the Meter appears damaged or something is missing,
contact the carrier and Fluke immediately. Save the container and packing material in
case you have to return the Meter.

Storing and Shipping the Meter
To prepare the Meter for storage or shipping, place it inside a sealed bag, fit the bag into
the packing material inside the original shipping container, and then secure the package.
Use the original shipping container if possible, as it provides shock isolation for normal
handling operations. If the original shipping container is not available, use a box that is
17.5 x 15.5 x 8.0 inches, with cushioning material that fills the space between the Meter
and the sides of the box.
To store the Meter, place the box under cover in a location that complies with the storage
environment specifications described in the “General Specifications” section in Chapter
1.
Power Considerations
The Meter operates on varying power distribution standards found throughout the world
and must be set up to operate on the line voltage that will power it. The Meter is packed
ready for use with a line voltage determined at the time of ordering. If the selected line
voltage does not match the power that the Meter will be plugged into, the Meter’s line-
voltage setting must be changed and replacement of the line fuse may be required.
