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.
XWWarning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these
guidelines:
•Use the Tester only as specified in this document, otherwise
the protection provided by the Tester may be impaired.
•The Tester is to be used only by qualified personnel.
•Do not use the Tester if it is damaged. Inspect the case
before use. Look for cracks or missing plastic. Pay particular
attention to the insulation surrounding the connectors.
•Inspect the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed
metal. Check the test leads for continuity. Replace damaged
test leads before using the Tester.

•Do not use the Tester if it operates abnormally. Protection
provided by the Tester may be impaired. When in doubt, have
the Tester serviced.
•Do not operate the Tester around explosive gas, vapor, or
dust.
•Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the
Tester, between terminals or between any terminal and earth
ground.
•When measuring hazardous voltage, verify the Tester’s
operation by measuring a known voltage.
•Only the test probes and batteries are serviceable. When
servicing, use only specified replacement parts.
•To determine the LEDs and beeper are working correctly,
short the test leads together. The beeper sounds (if enabled)
and all LEDs and display segments (T+ PRO) switch on
briefly indicating correct operation.
•Comply with local and national safety requirements when
working in hazardous locations.
•Use proper protective equipment, as required by local or
national authorities when working in hazardous areas.
•Use caution when working above 30 V ac rms, 42 V peak, or
60 V dc. Such voltages pose a shock hazard.
•When using probes, keep fingers away from the probe tips.
•Connect the common test lead before connecting the live test
lead. When disconnecting the test leads, disconnect the live
test lead first.
•Do not operate the Tester with the battery door or portions of
the cover removed or loosened.
•When the batteries are depleted, self test will not function.
•When the beeper is disabled, it will not sound until the beeper
is reactivated.
•For voltages above 240 V, you must only connect to a voltage
source for a MAXIMUM of 30 seconds and then disconnect for
a MINIMUM of 300 seconds.
•Perform a self test before any measurements are taken for
voltage, continuity, resistance, or rotary field. See “Self Test.”
•Exercise caution when performing measurements on PLC
inputs. When measuring relay control voltages on PLCs, be
aware that this may open or close the relay/switch.
WCaution
Although the Tester may be used with depleted batteries,
replace depleted batteries immediately to avoid Tester damage
from battery acid leakage.

Maintenance
Basic maintenance for the Tester includes cleaning, checking the battery charge, and replacing
depleted batteries.
Cleaning the Tester
XWWarning
To avoid electrical shock or damage to the Tester, never allow
water inside the case. To avoid damaging the Tester case,
never use solvents on the Tester.
If the Tester requires cleaning, wipe it down with a cloth that is lightly dampened with water or a
mild detergent. Do not use aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated solvents, or methanol-based fluids
when wiping down the tester. These cleaning agents will damage the Tester case.
Testing the Batteries
Perform a self test, described later in this document, to determine the charge state of the batteries
on the Tester. The self test will not work with depleted batteries. On T+ PRO Testers, the low
battery icon ( B) on the LCD indicates that the batteries need to be replaced.
Replacing the Batteries
XWWarning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:
•Disconnect test leads from any electrical source before opening
the battery compartment.
•Do not operate the Tester with the battery door or portions of the
cover removed or loosened.
To replace the batteries, do the following:
1. Remove the battery door by using a flat blade screwdriver to turn the battery door
fastener one-quarter turn counterclockwise.
2. Observing proper polarity, replace the batteries with two new AAA alkaline batteries.
3. Replace the battery door and secure it by turning the battery door fastener one-
quarter turn clockwise.
Calibration Adjustment
The T+ and T+ Pro have no field calibration. If the UUT fails any performance test, contact Fluke
Service for repair. See “Contacting Fluke.”
Performance Tests
XWWarning
To avoid possible electric shock, do not perform the
performance test procedures unless the Tester is fully
assembled and you are qualified to do so.
The following performance tests verify the complete operation of the Tester and check the
accuracy of each Tester function against its specifications. The recommended calibration interval
is 12 months. In the performance tests, the Tester is referred to as the unit under test (UUT). If the
UUT fails any performance test, contact Fluke Service for repair. See “Contacting Fluke.”

Self Test
XWWarning
To avoid possible electric shock or personal injury:
•Perform a self test before any measurements are taken for
voltage, continuity, resistance, or rotary field.
•When the batteries are depleted, self test will not function.
Replace the batteries.
WCaution
Although the Tester may be used with depleted batteries,
replace depleted batteries immediately to avoid Tester damage
from battery acid leakage.
To perform the self test, short the two probes. The self test lights all LEDs, and all LCD segments
(T+ PRO). The beeper sounds (unless disabled) and the Tester switches to continuity mode. To
complete the self test, measure a known voltage before use. If the Tester fails self test, it must not
be used and requires service. See “Contacting Fluke.”
Testing the LCD Display (T+ PRO)
Use the following procedure to test the LCD display:
Note
The Tester must remain inactive for approximately 30 seconds before
performing the following test. This will force a processor reset that will
display all LCD segments for approximately 1 second at power up.
1. Observe the LCD and short the test probes together. All LCD segments shown in
Figure 1 should light.

Testing the LEDs
Use the following procedure to test the LEDs:
Note
The Tester must remain inactive for approximately 30 seconds before
performing the following test. This will force a processor reset that will
display all LCD segments for approximately 1 second at power up.
1. Short the test probes together.
2. Observe that all LEDs light (voltage range, hazard, volts ac and dc, and continuity).
Testing the Backlight (T+ PRO)
Use the following procedure to test the backlight:
1. Insert the test probes into a voltage source of > 10 V ac or dc.
2. Observe that the backlight lights.
Testing the Audible Signal
Use the following procedure to test the audible signal:
1. Short the UUT test probes together. The beeper should sound.
2. If inactivated, press and hold until you hear three beeps.
Testing the Flashlight
Use the following procedure to test the flashlight:
1. Press the UUT headlight button.
2. Observe that the flashlight turns on for approximately five seconds.

GFCI Trip Test
To test the GFCI Trip current accuracy, set up the UUT and equipment as shown in Figure 2, and
complete the following procedure:
Note
When you press the GFCI pushbutton, the resulting test will last for up to
seven seconds.
1. Set the DMM to the mA ac function.
2. Apply 100 V, 60 Hz from the Source. The DMM reading should light the 12 – 48 V
LEDs and Hazard symbol.
3. Press the UUT GFCI pushbutton for one second. The UUT DC + and DC – LEDs
should alternately switch on and off while the beeper sounds. The DMM reading
should be between 6 and 9 mA ac during the test.
Rotary Field Test (T+ PRO)
To test the rotary field direction indicator, complete the following procedure:
1. Connect the UUT to a 60 Hz, three-phase source of > 120 V, with the UUT red lead
to A-phase and the UUT COM lead to B-phase. The UUT’s rotary field direction
indicator arrow should point to the right.
2. Move the UUT COM lead to C-phase. The rotary field direction indicator arrow
should point to the left.
