Safety Information and Symbols

A Warning statement identifies hazardous conditions and actions that

could cause bodily harm or death.

A Caution statement identifies conditions and actions that could damage

the Meter or the equipment under test.

XW Read First: Safety Information

To ensure safe operation and service of the Meter, follow

these instructions:

•Read the Instruction Sheet before use and follow all

safety instructions.

•Use the Meter only as specified in the Instruction

Sheet; otherwise, the Meter's safety features may be

impaired.

•Before each use, inspect the Meter and cable for

damage. Look for cracks and missing portions of the

clamp and cable. Do not use if clamp is damaged.

•Use caution when working with voltages above 33 V

rms 47 V peak or 70 V dc these voltages pose a shock

hazard.

•Do not use to measure ac current.

•Do not use to measure ac voltage.

•Avoid working alone so assistance can be rendered in

an emergency.

772/773 English Instruction Sheet

Page 3

•Use extreme caution when working around bare

conductors or bus bars. Contact with the conductor

could result in electric shock.

•To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical

shock and injury, replace the batteries as soon as the

low battery indicator Bappears.

•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 1.

•Do not use on non-insulated conductors.

•Do not use near strong magnetic fields.

•Remove test leads before opening case.

Table 1 explains the symbols that are used on the Meter or in this

Instruction Sheet.

Features

The following sections give more detail about the Meter’s features.

Percentage Span

The Source and Simulate Percentage Span feature displays the span for

4 to 20 mA loops. Use G, F, E, and Dto adjust the source

or simulated current (772) or dc voltage and current (773).

20 mA 100 % 8 mA 25 %

12 mA 50 % 0 mA -25 %

Zero Adjust

Before taking measurements with the clamp, push Cto zero the

display by removing the offset. Make sure the clamp jaws are closed and

no current is flowing through them before zeroing.

Backlight

Press Qto turn the backlight on and off. The backlight automatically

turns off after 2 minutes.

772/773 English Instruction Sheet

User Options

Several user options can be activated at Meter power up. Hold N

when powering on the Meter. While holding down N, toggle on/off

each option by repeatedly pressing the following keys:

•Qtoggle on/off backlight auto off. Display shows bLit on or oFF.

•Atoggle on/off spotlight auto off. Display shows SLit on or oFF.

•Htoggle 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 Ato activate it. To extend battery life, the light automatically turns

off after 2 minutes.

Display HOLD

XW Warning

To avoid electric shock, 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.

Press Hto activate Display Hold mode. The display shows Iand

the display freezes. To exit and return to normal operation, press Ha

second time. When in Auto Ramping mode, Hstops 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 Kis 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.

Taking Measurements

XW Warning

To avoid electric shock, 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 Cto enter Clamp Measure mode and to zero the Meter.

Clamp mode includes clamp measure, mA scale output, and mA

IN/OUT. If necessary, press Nto 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.

To use the test leads for measurements:

1. Insert the test leads into the proper input jacks. See Figure 7.

2. Press the correct button for the measurement.

3. Apply the test leads.

4. Observe the reading on the main display. In mA mode, the

secondary display shows the reading in percentage of span.

Current and Voltage Output Functions

Both Meters provide steady, stepped, and ramped current output for

testing 0-24 mA current loops. Additionally, the 773 provides voltage

output to 10 V. To access these functions, press Tas necessary.

•Choose Source mode to supply current or voltage.

•Choose Simulate mode to regulate current in an externally powered

current loop.

•Choose Loop Supply mode to power an external device and

measure mA loop current.

Sourcing mA

Use mA Source mode whenever it is necessary to source current into a

passive circuit such as a current loop with no loop supply. Source mode

depletes the battery faster than Simulate mode.

To enter Source mode for the 772, see Figure 4:

1. Insert the test leads into the -mA and +mA jacks.

2. Press L.

3. Press

Tuntil Source appears on the display.
