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.

772/773/773-II 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.

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 (773/773-II).

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 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 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 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 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.
