Introduction

XWWarning

Read "Safety Information" before you use the Meter.

The Fluke 381 is a handheld, battery-operated Clamp Meter (the Meter) that has a remote-display

module and detachable iFlex (Flexible Current Probe). The Remote Display can be removed from

the Meter body and read away from the measurement source. This lets the display be easily read

in difficult-measurement situations such as a hazardous environments, or very tight spaces. The

Flexible Current Probe makes it possible to measure higher current (up to 2500 A ac) and larger

cables that traditional jawed meters cannot measure.

Safety Information

A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s) to the user; A Caution identifies

conditions and procedures that could cause Meter damage, equipment under test damage, or

permanent loss of data.

Symbols used on the Meter and in this manual are explained in Table 1.

XWWarning

To prevent possible electrical shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:

•Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the

Meter can be compromised.

•Examine the case before you use the Meter. Look for cracks or missing plastic.

Carefully look at the insulation around the connectors.

•Never measure ac current while the test leads are inserted into the input jacks.

•Make sure the battery door is closed and latched before operating the Meter.

•Remove the test leads from the Meter before the battery door is opened.

Remote Display True-rms Clamp Meter

Safety Information

•Examine the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check test lead

continuity. Replace damaged test leads before using the Meter.

•Do not use the Meter if it operates incorrectly. Protection can be compromised.

When in doubt, have the Meter serviced.

•Do not use the Meter around explosive gas, vapor or in damp or wet

environments.

•Use only type AAA batteries, properly installed in the Meter case, to power the

Meter.

•To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, replace the

batteries as soon as the low battery indicator (Bor Q)

appears.

•When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts. See Table 5.

•Have the Meter serviced only by qualified service personnel.

•Be careful around voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. Such

voltages pose a shock hazard.

•Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the

terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.

•When using the probes, keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.

•Connect the common test lead before connecting the live test lead. When

disconnecting test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.

•Do not work alone so assistance can be rendered in an emergency.

381

Users Manual

•Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Contact

with the conductor could result in electric shock.

•Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must

be used to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors

are exposed.

•When measuring, keep fingers behind the Tactile Barrier. See Figure 2.

•Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you

do diode tests or measure resistance, continuity, or capacitance.

•Do not measure ac/dc current in circuits carrying more than 1000 V or 1000 A

with the Meter Jaw.

•Never operate the Meter with the back cover removed or the case open.

•Do not measure ac current in circuits carrying more than 1000 V or 2500 A with

the Flexible Current Probe.

•Do not apply the Flexible Current Probe around or remove from HAZARDOUS

LIVE conductors.

•Take special care during fitting and removal of the Flexible Current Probe. De-

energize the installation under test or wear suitable protective clothing.

WCaution

To avoid possible damage to the Meter or to equipment under test:

•Use the proper jacks, function, and range for the measurement application.
