Fluke ScopeMeter 190-104 User manual

The toughest scopes
ever built.
ScopeMeter® now takes you into CAT IV
environments with four-channel testing.

See more,
fix more,
go where you’ve
never gone with a
scope before.
The 190 Series ScopeMeter® oscilloscopes from
Fluke, with electrically isolated channels, are
safety rated for industrial applications. These
scopes combine rugged portability with the
high performance of bench oscilloscopes to
take you from troubleshooting microelectronics
all the way into power electronic applications.
Choose from two or four channel models
with a wide range of bandwidth options.
Fast sampling rates up to 2.5GS/s, 400 ps
resolution and deep memory of 10,000 samples
per channel allow high-accuracy capture and
display of waveform details, noise, and other
disturbances.
Perform timing or amplitude related
measurements on three phases or three-
axis control systems or simply compare and
contrast multiple test points in a circuit under
test. Features like TrendPlot™, ScopeRecord™,
and Connect-and-View™ help you quickly
diagnose industrial machinery, automation
and process controls, and power electronics to
minimize repair costs and downtime. These
features make the oscilloscopes easy to use
especially when diagnosing the most difficult
problems like complex waveforms, intermittent
events and signal fluctuations or drift.
New Li-ion battery technology keeps your
scope on the job, all day.
Fluke 190 Series ScopeMeter test tools
are available with two or four channels,
60MHz to 200 MHz. Choose the model
that’s right for your environment and
budget.
ScopeMeter® portable
oscilloscopes take you
into territory that standard
bench scopes can’t
go: where it’s harsh,
hazardous and dirty.

Built to with-
stand harsh
environments
with the highest
safety ratings
Rated all the way to CAT IV
ScopeMeter test tools are rugged solutions built
for industrial troubleshooting. The new Fluke
190 Series II are double-insulated floating
oscilloscopes safety rated for measurements in
CATIII 1000V/CAT IV 600V environments. The
two-channel Fluke 190C Series is rated CAT II
1000V/CAT III 600 V.
Measure from mV to kV safely
Independent isolated inputs allow you to make
measurements in mixed circuits having different
ground references and reduces the risk of acci-
dental short circuits.
Conventional bench oscilloscopes without
special differential probes and isolation trans-
formers can only reference measurements to
line power earth ground.
With standard probes that cover a wide appli-
cation range from mV to kV, you’re ready for
anything from microelectronics to heavy-duty
medium voltage electrical applications.
The only IP-51 rated scopes on the
market
Rugged and shock-proof, ScopeMeter portable
oscilloscopes are built for harsh environments.
With its sealed case, it can endure dust, drips,
humidity and airborne pollutants. Every time
you reach for the scope you can be confident it
will work reliably.

What could you
do with four
channels?
Take multiple measurements
simultaneously and track down the
root cause of your most complex
troubleshooting challenges.
Easily diagnose timing-related issues
with multiple signals
• Real-time inspection of multiple related
signals simultaneously
• Measure a combination of input and output
signals and system safety interlocks and
feedback loops
Find problems in industrial systems
including:
• Circuit voltage/current overloading
• Attenuation/input impedance mismatch
• Signal fluctuation/drift
• Conditioning circuits signal integrity
• Test point verification for critical signals
• Input/output/feedback timing issues
• Induced noise and disturbances
• Random shutdowns/reset
Diagnose VSDs or power inverters and
converters
• Harmonics, transients and loads in three-
phase power input
• Troubleshoot dc to ac converters for faulty
control circuits or output IGBT gate stages
• Cable interface—test PWM output for reflec-
tions and transients
In three-phase systems like variable speed drives, UPS or
back-up generators, use four channels to diagnose power
input, dc to ac converters, or cable interface problems.
For industrial electronics, four channels allows you to
perform three-dimensional testing, measuring input,
output and feedback signals simultaneously.

Fluke ScopeMeter
test tools work
harder to make
your job easier
Use the 27,000 points memory of
ScopeRecord and zoom in for maximum
detail.
Cursors and zoom features of the
Fluke 190 Series help you to analyze
the captured TrendPlot.
Connect-and-View™ captures even the
most complex motor drive signals.
See what’s happening with
fast real-time high resolution
sampling. ScopeMeter offers a
sample rate of up to 2.5 GS/s
with up to 400 ps resolution
Connect-and-View™
triggering for an instant,
stable display
If you’ve used
other scopes, you
know how tricky
triggering can be. If settings
are incorrect, results can be
unstable or incorrect. Connect-
and-View™ automatically sets up
correct triggering by recognizing
signal patterns. Without touch-
ing a button, you get a stable,
reliable and repeatable display
of virtually any signal including
motor drive and control signals.
It’s especially fast and conve-
nient when you’re measuring a
number of test points in rapid
succession.
ScopeRecord™ mode for
high resolution waveform
recording up to 48 hours
ScopeRecord™ memory stores up
to 27,000 data points per chan-
nel, capturing fast intermittents
and glitches as short as 8 ns.
(Two sets of multiple-channel
recordings can be stored for later
analysis.)
• Stores events like motion
profiles, UPS, power supply
and motor start-ups
• With the Stop on Trigger
mode, the ScopeMeter auto-
matically recognizes a power
failure and stores the wave-
form data preceding it
• With the waveform zoom (up
to 100x) you can look at the
smallest details, like individual
power cycles
TrendPlot™ paperless
recorder—records up to
16 days to help you find
intermittent faults
The toughest faults to find are
those that happen once in a
while. These intermittents can
be caused by bad connections,
dust, dirt, corrosion, or simply
broken wiring or connectors.
Line outages, sags or starting
and stopping of a motor can
also cause a machine to stop.
You may not be around when
it happens, but the Fluke
ScopeMeter will.
• Plot minimum and maximum
peak values and average over
time up to 16 days
• Plot any combination of volt-
ages, amps, temperature,
frequency and phase for all
four inputs, all with time and
date stamp to pinpoint faults

anomaly flash and miss it. Fluke
ScopeMeter will solve the prob-
lem by letting you look back in
time with a touch of the replay
button.
• In normal use, the instrument
continuously memorizes the
last 100 screens. As each new
screen is acquired, the oldest
is discarded.
• At any moment you can
“freeze” the last 100 screens
and scroll through picture-by-
picture or replay as a “live”
animation
• Use cursors for further analysis
• With advanced triggering you
can capture up to 100 specific
events (Two sets of 100
captured screens with individ-
ual time stamps can be stored
for later recall or downloaded
to a PC.)
