Universal Mains-Power Adapter
Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The BC190/830 is a universal mains-power adapter (the Adapter or
Product) for measurement, control, and laboratory equipment. The
Adapter is intended for operating and charging the Fluke 190-Series
ScopeMeter Test Tool (test tool). The Adapter is based on the switched-
mode concept for high efciency, low stand-by power consumption, and
complies with level-VI requirements. It operates in a wide range of input
voltages from 100 Vac up to 240 Vac nominal.
A universal set of mains cords is included to make the Adapter suitable

Safety Information
A Warning identies conditions and procedures that are dangerous to the
user.
 Warning
To prevent electrical shock, re, or personal injury:
• Read these instructions carefully before using the Product.
• Use the Product only with Fluke test tools that have the type
number ‘BC190’ specied for charge and operation.
•Use this Product only as specied.
•Do not open the Product, it has no user-serviceable parts inside.
•Do not use the Product around explosive gas, vapor, or in damp or
wet environments.
•Use this Product indoors only.
•Examine the case before you use the Product. Look for cracks or
missing plastic. Carefully look at the cable jacket and insulation
around the terminals.
•Use only the mains power cord and connector approved for the
voltage and plug conguration in your country and rated for the
Product.
• Replace the mains power cord if the insulation is damaged or if the
insulation shows signs of wear.
•Do not use the Product if it is altered or damaged.
Unpack
The Adapter includes these items:
•BC190/830 Switch Mode Power Adapter (main unit) with dc cable
•Universal set of 2-wire mains cords with male and female connector
At delivery of the Adapter, make sure that the shipment is complete and all
items are undamaged. Contact your supplier if you see any damage.
Operation
The power cord connects the Adapter to the mains system. Do not block
access to the power cord and power plug, these must remain accessible to
the user at all times.
The Adapter is not equipped with a power switch. Disconnect the mains
plug from the mains system when not in use.
In case the Adapter is damaged or any damage is suspected, disconnect
from the mains system and have qualied service personnel inspect the
Adapter before reconnecting to the mains system again.
To use:
1. Connect the mains cord to the Adapter.
2. Connect the power plug to the mains system.
3. Connect the dc plug to the test tool.
For continuous operation and recording with the test tool, keep the power
adapter connected.
The Adapter operates and charges the test tool from local line voltage.
Any power supply connected to the test tool introduces a certain capacitive
coupling between the test tool and ground through the power supply
circuitry. This capacitive coupling can affect test tool measurements. The
Adapter is equipped with dedicated decoupling networks to reduce possible
effects of such capacitive coupling during measurements.
For an optimal decoupling from ground, especially to make low-level
measurements, Fluke recommends that you work in battery-operated mode
without any power adapter connected. See the User Manual for the test tool
to nd complete safety information before making any measurements.
Note
Always fully charge the test tool battery before storage.
