Introduction
Warning
Read “Safety Information” before using the
meter.
The Fluke 789/787B ProcessMeter (the Meter or
Product) is a handheld, battery-operated tool for
measuring electrical parameters and supplying steady or
ramping current to test process instruments. All
illustrations in this manual show the 789 model.
The 789 adds a 24 V loop power supply. It has all the
features of a digital multimeter, plus current output
capability.
If the meter is damaged or something is missing, contact
the place of purchase immediately. Contact a Fluke
distributor for information about DMM (digital multimeter)
accessories. To order replacement parts or spares, see
Table 13 near the end of this manual.

Safety Information
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.
International symbols used on the meter and in this
manual are explained in Table 1.
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury:
•Read all safety information before you use the
Product.
•Carefully read all instructions.
•Do not alter the Product and use only as
specified, or the protection supplied by the
Product can be compromised.
•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
can damage the Product.

Safety Information

• 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.
• 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 apply more than the rated voltage,
between the terminals or between each
terminal and earth ground.
• Do not work alone.
• Limit operation to the specified measurement
category, voltage, or amperage ratings.
• Use Product-approved measurement category
(CAT), voltage, and amperage rated
accessories (probes, test leads, and adapters)
for all measurements.
• Measure a known voltage first to make sure
that the Product operates correctly.
• Use the correct terminals, function, and range
for measurements.
• Do not touch voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac
peak, or 60 V dc.
• Do not use the Product around explosive gas,
vapor, or in damp or wet environments.
• Do not use the Product if it operates
incorrectly.
• Examine the case before you use the Product.
Look for cracks or missing plastic. Carefully
look at the insulation around the terminals.
• 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.

•Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes.
•Only use probes, test leads, and accessories
that have the same measurement category,
voltage, and amperage ratings as the Product.
•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 test leads if they are damaged.
Examine the test leads for damaged
insulation and measure a known voltage.
•Do not use a current measurement as an
indication that a circuit is safe to touch. A
voltage measurement is necessary to know if
a circuit is hazardous.
•Do not use the Product if it is altered or
damaged.
•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.

How to Get Started
Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or
personal injury:
•Disconnect power and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors before you measure
resistance, continuity, capacitance, or a diode
junction.
•Remove circuit power before you connect the
Product in the circuit when you measure
current. Connect the Product in series with
the circuit.
•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.
If familiar with the Fluke 80 Series DMM, read “Using the
Current Output Functions,” review the tables and figures in
“Getting Acquainted with the Meter,” and begin using the
meter.
If unfamiliar with Fluke 80 Series DMMs, or DMMs in
general, read “Measuring Electrical Parameters” in
addition to the sections referenced in the previous
paragraph.
The sections following “Using the Current Output
Functions” contain information about the power-up options,
and battery and fuse replacement instructions.
See Table 2 for an overview of the meter.
