Safety Information and Symbols
A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to
the user. A Caution identifies conditions and procedures that can cause
damage to the Product or the equipment under test.
XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal
injury:
• Carefully read all instructions.
• Do not alter the Product and use only as specified, or
the protection supplied by the Product can be
compromised.
• Read all safety information before you use the
Product.
• Do not use in CAT III or CAT IV environments without
the protective cap installed on test probe. The
protective cap decreases the exposed probe metal to
<4 mm. This decreases the possibility of arc flash
from short circuits.
772/773 English Instruction Sheet
Page 3
• Comply with local and national safety codes. Use
personal protective equipment (approved rubber
gloves, face protection, and flame-resistant clothes)
to prevent shock and arc blast injury where
hazardous live conductors are exposed.
• Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or
60 V dc.
• Remove the batteries if the Product is not used for an
extended period of time, or if stored in temperatures
above 50 °C. If the batteries are not removed, battery
leakage may result.
• The battery door must be closed and locked before
you operate the Product.
• Replace the batteries when the low battery indicator
shows to prevent incorrect measurements.
• Do not apply more than the rated voltage, between the
terminals or between each terminal and earth ground.
• Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the
Product operates correctly.
• Use the Clamp only on insulated conductors. Use
caution around bare conductors or bus bars. To
prevent electrical shock, do not touch the conductor.
• Do not use test leads if they are damaged. Examine
the test leads for damaged insulation, exposed metal,
or if the wear indicator shows. Check test lead
continuity.
• Hold the Product behind the tactile barrier.
• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.
• Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories before
the battery door is opened.
• Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories that
are not necessary for the measurement.
• Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT)
rating of the lowest rated individual component of a
Product, probe, or accessory.
• Do not use the Product if it operates incorrectly.
• Disable the Product if it is damaged.
• Do not make connections on hazardous live
conductors in damp or wet environments.

User Options
Several user options can be activated at Meter power up. Hold
when powering on the Meter. While holding down , toggle on/off
each option by repeatedly pressing the following keys:
• toggle on/off backlight auto off. Display shows bLit on or oFF.
• toggle on/off spotlight auto off. Display shows SLit on or oFF.
• toggle on/off auto power off. Display shows PoFF on or oFF.
When all key are released, the software version appears and the Meter
enters Clamp Measure mode.
Measurement Spotlight LED
The Measurement Spotlight LED helps to quickly find mA signal wires.
Press to activate it. To extend battery life, the light automatically turns
off after 2 minutes.
Display HOLD XW Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal
injury:
• Be aware of the measurement being taken when using
Display HOLD. When Display HOLD is activated, the
display will not change when different currents are
applied.
• Do not use the HOLD function to measure unknown
potentials. When HOLD is turned on, the display does
not change when a different potential is measured.
Press to activate Display Hold mode. The display shows and
the display freezes. To exit and return to normal operation, press a
second time. When in Auto Ramping mode, stops ramping.
Auto Ramping the Output
Auto ramping can continuously apply a varying output from the mA
source to a device while your hands remain free to test the response.
When is pressed, the Meter produces a repeating 0 % - 100 % -
0 % ramp in a choice of three ramp waveforms:
• () 0 % - 100 % - 0 % 40-second smooth ramp
• () 0 % - 100 % - 0 % 30-second smooth ramp
• () 0 % - 100 % - 0 % 25 % step ramp, 10 seconds each step.
To exit ramping, press any button.

Probe Holder
The Meter is equipped with a probe holder that can either hold a test
probe or can be used to attach the Fluke ToolPak. See Figure 5.

Figure 5. The Probe Holder
Taking Measurements
XW Warning
To prevent possible electric shock, fire, or personal injury,
do not use the clamp on non-insulated conductors.
Measurements can be taken with the clamp in the docked position,
remotely using the 1 m cable, or via test leads. For accurate
measurements:
• Always zero the Meter prior to taking measurements with the clamp.
• To reduce magnetic influences, zero the Meter as close to the
measurement in the same position or jaw direction that is used for
the measurements as possible.
• Make sure the clamp is free of contamination.
To use the clamp for measurements:
1. Press to enter Clamp Measure mode and to zero the Meter.
Clamp mode includes clamp measure, mA scale output, and mA
IN/OUT. If necessary, press to change to mA scale.
2. Clamp the jaw around the conductor under test. The Meter displays
the measured conductor current. See Figure 6.
• A positive reading indicates current flowing in the direction of
the arrow on the clamp.
• A negative reading indicates current flowing in the opposite
direction of the arrow.
• Do not clamp more than one wire.
The small secondary display shows the reading in mA percentage of
span.
