LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal
use and service. The warranty period is three years and begins on the date of shipment. Parts,
product repairs, and services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original
buyer or end-user customer of a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses, disposable
batteries, or to any product which, in Fluke's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected,
contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal conditions of operation or handling. Fluke
warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance with its functional specifications for 90
days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media. Fluke does not warrant that
software will be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user
customers only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke.
Warranty support is available only if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or
Buyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for
importation costs of repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted for
repair in another country.
Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge
repair, or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center
within the warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain return
authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of the
difficulty, postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke assumes no risk for damage in
transit. Following warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB
Destination). If Fluke determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration,
accident, or abnormal condition of operation or handling, including overvoltage failures caused by use
outside the product’s specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke will
provide an estimate of repair costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following
repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for
the repair and return transportation charges (FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES OR LOSSES, INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion
or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty
may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a
court or other decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or
enforceability of any other provision.

LIMITES DE GARANTIE ET DE RESPONSABILITE
La société Fluke garantit l’absence de vices de matériaux et de fabrication de ses produits dans des
conditions normales d’utilisation et d’entretien. La période de garantie est de trois ans et prend effet à
la date d’expédition. Les pièces, les réparations de produit et les services sont garantis pour un
période de 90 jours. Cette garantie ne s’applique qu’à l’acheteur d’origine ou à l’utilisateur final s’il est
client d’un distributeur agréé par Fluke, et ne s’applique pas aux fusibles, aux batteries/piles
interchangeables ni à aucun produit qui, de l’avis de Fluke, a été malmené, modifié, négligé,
contaminé ou endommagé par accident ou soumis à des conditions anormales d’utilisation et de
manipulation. Fluke garantit que le logiciel fonctionnera en grande partie conformément à ses
spécifications fonctionnelles pour une période de 90 jours et qu’il a été correctement enregistré sur
des supports non défectueux. Fluke ne garantit pas que le logiciel ne contient pas d’erreurs ou qu’il
fonctionne sans interruption.
Les distributeurs agréés par Fluke appliqueront cette garantie à des produits vendus à leurs clients
neufs et qui n’ont pas servi mais ne sont pas autorisés à appliquer une garantie plus étendue ou
différente au nom de Fluke. Le support de garantie est offert uniquement si le produit a été acquis par
l’intermédiaire d’un point de vente agréé par Fluke ou bien si l’acheteur a payé le prix international
applicable. Fluke se réserve le droit de facturer à l’acheteur les frais d’importation des pièces de
réparation ou de remplacement si le produit acheté dans un pays a été expédié dans un autre pays
pour y être réparé.
L’obligation de garantie de Fluke est limitée, au choix de Fluke, au remboursement du prix d’achat, ou
à la réparation/remplacement gratuit d’un produit défectueux retourné dans le délai de garantie à un
centre de service agréé par Fluke.
Pour avoir recours au service de la garantie, mettez-vous en rapport avec le centre de service agréé
Fluke le plus proche pour recevoir les références d’autorisation de renvoi, ou envoyez le produit,
accompagné d’une description du problème, port et assurance payés (franco lieu de destination), à ce
centre de service. Fluke dégage toute responsabilité en cas de dégradations survenues au cours du
transport. Après la réparation sous garantie, le produit sera retourné à l’acheteur, frais de port payés
d’avance (franco lieu de destination). Si Fluke estime que le problème est le résultat d’une négligence,
d’un traitement abusif, d’une contamination, d’une modification, d’un accident ou de conditions de
fonctionnement ou de manipulation anormales, notamment de surtensions liées à une utilisation du
produit en dehors des spécifications nominales, ou de l’usure normale des composants mécaniques,
Fluke fournira un devis des frais de réparation et ne commencera la réparation qu’après en avoir reçu
l’autorisation. Après la réparation, le produit sera retourné à l’acheteur, frais de port payés d’avance,
et les frais de réparation et de transport lui seront facturés.
LA PRESENTE GARANTIE EST EXCLUSIVE ET TIENT LIEU DE TOUTES AUTRES GARANTIES,
EXPLICITES OU IMPLICITES, Y COMPRIS, MAIS NON EXCLUSIVEMENT, TOUTE GARANTIE
IMPLICITE QUANT A L’APTITUDE DU PRODUIT A ETRE COMMERCIALISE OU A ETRE
APPLIQUE A UNE FIN OU A UN USAGE DETERMINE. FLUKE NE POURRA ETRE TENU
RESPONSABLE D’AUCUN DOMMAGE PARTICULIER, INDIRECT, ACCIDENTEL OU
CONSECUTIF, NI D’AUCUNS DEGATS OU PERTES, DE DONNEES NOTAMMENT, SUR UNE
BASE CONTRACTUELLE, EXTRA-CONTRACTUELLE OU AUTRE.
Etant donné que certains pays ou états n’admettent pas les limitations d’une condition de garantie
implicite, ou l’exclusion ou la limitation de dégâts accidentels ou consécutifs, il se peut que les
limitations et les exclusions de cette garantie ne s’appliquent pas à chaque acheteur. Si une
disposition quelconque de cette garantie est jugée non valide ou inapplicable par un tribunal ou un
autre pouvoir décisionnel compétent, une telle décision n’affectera en rien la validité ou le caractère
exécutoire de toute autre disposition.

BEGRENZTE GEWÄHRLEISTUNG UND HAFTUNGSBESCHRÄNKUNG
Fluke gewährleistet, daß jedes Fluke-Produkt unter normalem Gebrauch und Service frei von Material-
und Fertigungsdefekten ist. Die Garantiedauer beträgt 3 Jahre ab Versanddatum. Die Garantiedauer
für Teile, Produktreparaturen und Service beträgt 90 Tage. Diese Garantie wird ausschließlich dem
Ersterwerber bzw. dem Endverbraucher geleistet, der das betreffende Produkt von einer von Fluke
autorisierten Verkaufsstelle erworben hat, und erstreckt sich nicht auf Sicherungen, Einwegbatterien
oder andere Produkte, die nach dem Ermessen von Fluke unsachgemäß verwendet, verändert,
verschmutzt, vernachlässigt, durch Unfälle beschädigt oder abnormalen Betriebsbedingungen oder
einer unsachgemäßen Handhabung ausgesetzt wurden. Fluke garantiert für einen Zeitraum von 90
Tagen, daß die Software im wesentlichen in Übereinstimmung mit den einschlägigen
Funktionsbeschreibungen funktioniert und daß diese Software auf fehlerfreien Datenträgern
gespeichert wurde. Fluke übernimmt jedoch keine Garantie dafür, daß die Software fehlerfrei ist und
störungsfrei arbeitet.
Von Fluke autorisierte Verkaufsstellen werden diese Garantie ausschließlich für neue und nicht
benutzte, an Endverbraucher verkaufte Produkte leisten. Die Verkaufsstellen sind jedoch nicht dazu
berechtigt, diese Garantie im Namen von Fluke zu verlängern, auszudehnen oder in irgendeiner
anderen Weise abzuändern. Der Erwerber hat nur dann das Recht, aus der Garantie abgeleitete
Unterstützungsleistungen in Anspruch zu nehmen, wenn er das Produkt bei einer von Fluke
autorisierten Vertriebsstelle gekauft oder den jeweils geltenden internationalen Preis gezahlt hat.
Fluke behält sich das Recht vor, dem Erwerber Einfuhrgebühren für Ersatzteile in Rechnung zu
stellen, wenn dieser das Produkt in einem anderen Land zur Reparatur anbietet, als dem Land, in dem
er das Produkt ursprünglich erworben hat.
Flukes Garantieverpflichtung beschränkt sich darauf, daß Fluke nach eigenem Ermessen den
Kaufpreis ersetzt oder aber das defekte Produkt unentgeltlich repariert oder austauscht, wenn dieses
Produkt innerhalb der Garantiefrist einem von Fluke autorisierten Servicezentrum zur Reparatur
übergeben wird.
Um die Garantieleistung in Anspruch zu nehmen, wenden Sie sich bitte an das nächstgelegene und
von Fluke autorisierte Servicezentrum, um Rücknahmeinformationen zu erhalten, und senden Sie
dann das Produkt mit einer Beschreibung des Problems und unter Vorauszahlung von Fracht- und
Versicherungskosten (FOB Bestimmungsort) an das nächstgelegene und von Fluke autorisierte
Servicezentrum. Fluke übernimmt keine Haftung für Transportschäden. Im Anschluß an die Reparatur
wird das Produkt unter Vorauszahlung von Frachtkosten (FOB Bestimmungsort) an den Erwerber
zurückgesandt.Wenn Fluke jedoch feststellt, daß der Defekt auf Vernachlässigung, unsachgemäße
Handhabung, Verschmutzung, Veränderungen am Gerät, einen Unfall oder auf anormale
Betriebsbedingungen, einschließlich durch außerhalb der für das Produkt spezifizierten Belastbarkeit
verursachten Überspannungsfehlern, zurückzuführen ist, wird Fluke dem Erwerber einen Voranschlag
der Reparaturkosten zukommen lassen und erst die Zustimmung des Erwerbers einholen, bevor die
Arbeiten begonnen werden. Nach der Reparatur wird das Produkt unter Vorauszahlung der
Frachtkosten an den Erwerber zurückgeschickt, und es werden dem Erwerber die Reparaturkosten
und die Versandkosten (FOB Versandort) in Rechnung gestellt.

GARANZIA LIMITATA & LIMITAZIONE DI RESPONSABILITÀ
Ogni prodotto Fluke è garantito come esente da difetti nei materiali e nella manodopera per normali
situazioni di uso. II periodo di garanzia è di tre anni a partire dalla data di spedizione. La garanzia per
le parti sostituite, le riparazioni e l’assistenza è di 90 giorni. La garanzia è emessa solo a beneficio
dell’acquirente originale o del consumatore finale che abbia acquistato il prodotto da un rivenditore
Fluke autorizzato. Non copre fusibili, pile di ricambio e qualsiasi apparecchio che, a giudizio della
Fluke, sia stato adoperato in modo improprio, modificato, trascurato o danneggiato sia
accidentalmente che a causa di condizioni anomale d’uso e manipolazione. La Fluke garantisce per
90 giorni che il software funzionerà sostanzialmente secondo le proprie specifiche operative e che sia
stato registrato su supporti non difettosi. Non garantisce che il software sarà esente da errori o che
funzionerà senza interruzioni.
I rivenditori autorizzati Fluke sono tenuti ad estendere la presente garanzia per prodotti nuovi e non
ancora usati a beneficio esclusivo degli utenti finali, ma non sono autorizzati a emettere una garanzia
diversa o più ampia a nome della Fluke. La garanzia è valida solo se il prodotto è stato acquistato
attraverso la rete commerciale Fluke o se I’acquirente ha pagato il prezzo non scontato. La Fluke si
riserva il diritto di fatturare all’acquirente i costi di importazione dei ricambi per la
riparazione/sostituzione eseguita, nel caso in cui il prodotto acquistato in un Paese sia sottoposto a
riparazione in un altro.
L’obbligo di garanzia è limitato, a discrezione della Fluke, al rimborso del prezzo d’acquisto, alla
riparazione gratuita o alla sostituzione di un prodotto difettoso che sia inviato ad un centro assistenza
autorizzato Fluke entro il periodo di garanzia.
Per usufruire dell’assistenza in garanzia, rivolgersi al più vicino centro assistenza autorizzato Fluke
per ottenere informazioni sull’autorizzazione al reso. Quindi spedire il prodotto al centro di assistenza.
Il prodotto deve essere accompagnato da una descrizione dei problemi riscontrati, e deve essere
spedito in porto franco e con assicurazione pre-pagata. La Fluke declina ogni responsabilità per danni
in transito. A seguito delle riparazioni in garanzia, il prodotto sarà restituito all’acquirente in porto
franco. Se la Fluke accerta che il guasto sia stato causato da negligenza, uso improprio,
contaminazione, alterazione, incidente o condizioni anomale di uso e manipolazione (comprese le
sovratensioni causate dall’uso dello strumento oltre la propria portata nominale e l’usura dei
componenti meccanici dovuta all’uso normale dello strumento), la Fluke presenterà una stima dei costi
di riparazione e attenderà l’autorizzazione dell’utente a procedere alla riparazione. In seguito alla
riparazione, il prodotto sarà restituito all’acquirente con addebito delle spese di riparazione e di
spedizione.
LA PRESENTE GARANZIA È L’UNICO ED ESCLUSIVO RICORSO DISPONIBILE
ALL’ACQUIRENTE ED È EMESSA IN SOSTITUZIONE DI OGNI ALTRA GARANZIA, ESPRESSA OD
IMPLICITA, COMPRESA, MA NON LIMITATA AD ESSA, QUALSIASI GARANZIA IMPLICITA DI
COMMERCIABILITÀ O DI IDONEITÀ PER USI PARTICOLARI. LA FLUKE DECLINA OGNI
RESPONSABILITÀ PER DANNI O PERDITE PARTICOLARI, INDIRETTI, INCIDENTALI O
CONSEGUENTI, COMPRESA LA PERDITA DI DATI DOVUTI A QUALSIASI CAUSA O TEORIA.
Poiché alcuni Paesi non consentono di limitare i termini di una garanzia implicita né l’esclusione o la
limitazione di danni accidentali o sequenziali, le limitazioni e le esclusioni della presente garanzia
possono non valere per tutti gli acquirenti. Se una clausola qualsiasi della presente garanzia non è
ritenuta valida o attuabile dal tribunale o altro foro competente, tale giudizio non avrà effetto sulla
validità delle altre clausole.

GARANTÍA LIMITADA Y LIMITACIÓN DE RESPONSABILIDAD
Se garantiza que todo producto de Fluke no tendrá defectos en los materiales ni en la mano de
obra en condiciones normales de utilización y mantenimiento. El periodo de garantía es de tres
años y comienza en la fecha de despacho. Las piezas de repuesto, reparaciones y servicios
son garantizados por 90 días. Esta garantía se extiende sólo al comprador original o al cliente
final de un revendedor autorizado por Fluke y no es válida para fusibles, baterías desechables
o productos que, en opinión de Fluke, hayan sido utilizados incorrectamente, modificados,
maltratados, contaminados o dañados ya sea accidentalmente o a causa de condiciones de
funcionamiento o manejo anormales. Fluke garantiza que el software funcionará
substancialmente de acuerdo con sus especificaciones funcionales durante 90 días y que ha
sido grabado correctamente en un medio magnético sin defectos. Fluke no garantiza que el
software no tendrá errores ni que operará sin interrupción.
Los revendedores autorizados por Fluke podrán extender esta garantía solamente a los
Compradores finales de productos nuevos y sin uso previo, pero carecen de autoridad para
extender una garantía mayor o diferente en nombre de Fluke. La asistencia técnica en garantía
estará disponible únicamente si el producto fue comprado a través de un centro de distribución
autorizado por Fluke o si el comprador pagó el precio internacional correspondiente. Fluke se
reserva el derecho a facturar al Comprador los costos de importación de
reparaciones/repuestos cuando el producto comprado en un país es enviado a reparación a
otro país.
La obligación de Fluke de acuerdo con la garantía está limitada, a discreción de Fluke, al
reembolso del precio de compra, reparación gratuita o al reemplazo de un producto defectuoso
que es devuelto a un centro de servicio autorizado por Fluke dentro del periodo de garantía.
Para obtener el servicio de la garantía, comuníquese con el centro de servicio autorizado por
Fluke más cercano a usted, solicite la información correspondiente a la autorización de la
devolución y luego envíe el producto a dicho centro de servicio con una descripción del fallo y
los portes y el seguro prepagados (FOB destino). Fluke no asume ningún riesgo por daño
durante el tránsito. Después de la reparación de garantía, el producto será devuelto al
Comprador, con los fletes prepagados (FOB destino). Si Fluke determina que el fallo fue
causado por maltrato, mala utilización, contaminación, modificación o por una condición
accidental o anormal presentada durante el funcionamiento o manejo, incluidos los fallos por
sobretensión causados por el uso fuera de los valores nominales especificados para el
producto, o por el desgaste normal de los componentes mecánicos, Fluke preparará una
estimación de los costos de reparación y obtendrá su autorización antes de comenzar el
trabajo. Al concluir la reparación, el producto será devuelto al Comprador con los fletes
prepagados y al Comprador le serán facturados la reparación y los costos de transporte (FOB
en el sitio de despacho).
ESTA GARANTÍA ES EL ÚNICO Y EXCLUSIVO RECURSO DEL COMPRADOR Y
SUBSTITUYE A TODAS LAS OTRAS GARANTÍAS, EXPRESAS O IMPLÍCITAS,
INCLUYENDO, PERO SIN LIMITARSE A, TODA GARANTÍA IMPLÍCITA DE
COMERCIABILIDAD O IDONEIDAD PARA UN PROPÓSITO DETERMINADO. FLUKE NO SE
RESPONSABILIZA DE PÉRDIDAS NI DAÑOS ESPECIALES, INDIRECTOS, IMPREVISTOS
O CONTINGENTES, INCLUIDA LA PÉRDIDA DE DATOS, QUE SURJAN POR CUALQUIER
TIPO DE CAUSA O TEORÍA.
Como algunos países o estados no permiten la limitación de los términos de una garantía
implícita, ni la exclusión ni limitación de daños incidentales o consecuentes, las limitaciones y
exclusiones de esta garantía pueden no ser válidas para todos los Compradores. Si una
cláusula de esta Garantía es considerada inválida o inaplicable por un tribunal o por algún otro
ente de jurisdicción competente y responsable de la toma de decisiones, dicha consideración
no afectará la validez o aplicabilidad de cualquier otra cláusula.

GARANTIA LIMITADA E LIMITAÇÃO DE RESPONSABILIDADE
Todos os produtos da Fluke são garantidos contra defeitos de material ou fabricação, sob
circunstâncias normais de uso e manutenção. O período de garantia é de três anos, a partir da data
da remessa. As peças, reparos e serviços são garantidos por 90 dias. Esta garantia se aplica apenas
ao comprador original, ou ao cliente usuário-final de um revendedor autorizado da Fluke, e não cobre
fusíveis, baterias descartáveis, nem qualquer produto que, na opinião da Fluke, tenha sido usado de
forma inadequada, alterado, tenha recebido manutenção inadequada ou tenha sido danificado por
acidente ou condições anormais de operação ou manuseio. A Fluke garante que o software
funcionará de acordo com as suas especificações técnicas pelo período de 90 dias, e que foi gravado
de forma adequada em meio físico sem defeitos. A Fluke não garante que o software esteja livre de
defeitos, nem que funcionará sem interrupções.
Os vendedores autorizados da Fluke fornecerão esta garantia de produtos novos e não usados
apenas a clientes usuários finais, mas não têm qualquer autoridade para fornecer, em nome da Fluke,
uma garantia mais ampla ou diferente da presente. A assistência técnica coberta pela garantia está
disponível se o produto houver sido adquirido de uma loja autorizada da Fluke, ou se o Comprador
tiver pago o preço internacional aplicável. A Fluke se reserva o direito de cobrar do Comprador taxas
relativa a custos de importação referentes a peças de substituição/reparos quando o produto for
comprado em um país e submetido para reparos em um outro país.
As obrigações da Fluke pertinentes a esta garantia são limitadas, a critério da Fluke, à devolução da
importância correspondente ao preço pago pela compra do produto, reparos gratuitos, ou substituição
de um produto defeituoso que seja devolvido a um centro autorizado de reparos da Fluke dentro do
período coberto pela garantia.
Para obter serviços cobertos pela garantia, entre em contato com o centro autorizado de reparos da
Fluke mais próximo para obter informações sobre autorizações de retorno e então, envie o produto
para o centro autorizado, com uma descrição do problema encontrado e com frete e seguro já pagos
(FOB no destino), ao centro autorizado de reparos mais próximo. A Fluke não se responsabiliza por
nenhum dano que possa ocorrer durante o transporte. Após serem efetuados os serviços cobertos
pela garantia, o produto será devolvido ao Comprador, com frete já pago (FOB no destino). Se a
Fluke constatar que a falha do produto foi causada por uso inadequado, contaminação, alterações,
acidente, ou condições anormais de operação ou manuseio, inclusive falhas devidas a sobrevoltagem
causadas pelo uso do produto fora das faixas e classificações especificadas, ou pelo desgaste normal
de componentes mecânicos, a Fluke dará uma estimativa dos custos de reparo, e obterá autorização
do cliente antes de começar os reparos. Após a realização dos reparos, o produto será devolvido ao
Comprador com frete já pago e este reembolsará a Fluke pelos custos dos reparos e do transporte de
retorno (FOB no local de remessa).
ESTA GARANTIA É O ÚNICO E EXCLUSIVO RECURSO JURÍDICO DO COMPRADOR, E
SUBSTITUI TODAS AS OUTRAS GARANTIAS, EXPRESSAS OU IMPLÍCITAS, INCLUINDO, MAS
NÃO SE LIMITANDO A, QUALQUER GARANTIA IMPLÍCITA DE COMERCIABILIDADE OU
ADEQUABILIDADE PARA UM DETERMINADO FIM. A FLUKE NÃO SE RESPONSABILIZA POR
NENHUM DANO OU PERDA, INCIDENTAL OU CONSEQÜENTE, QUE POSSA OCORRER POR
QUALQUER MOTIVO OU QUE SEJA DECORRENTE DE QUALQUER CAUSA OR TEORIA
JURÍDICA.
Como alguns estados ou países não permitem a exclusão ou limitação de uma garantia implícita nem
de danos incidentais ou conseqüentes, esta limitação de responsabilidade pode não ser aplicável no
seu caso. Se uma corte qualificada de jurisdição considerar qualquer provisão desta garantia inválida
ou não-executável, tal decisão judicial não afetará a validade ou executabilidade de qualquer outra
provisão.

BEGRÄNSAD GARANTI OCH ANSVARSBEGRÄNSNING
Varje Flukeprodukt garanteras vara fri från felaktigheter i material och utförande vid normal
användning och service. Garantiperioden är tre år och räknas från leveransdagen. För delar,
produktreparationer och service gäller 90 dagars garanti. Denna garanti gäller endast för den
ursprungliga köparen eller slutkunden, som handlat hos en auktoriserad Flukeåterförsäljare,
och omfattar inte säkringar, engångsbatterier eller produkter, som enligt Flukes förmenande har
använts på felaktigt sätt, ändrats, smutsats ner eller skadats till följd av olyckshändelse eller
onormala användningsförhållanden eller onormal hantering. Fluke garanterar att programvaran
fungerar i allt väsentligt i enlighet med dess funktionella specifikationer i 90 dagars tid, och att
den lagrats på korrekt sätt på icke-defekta datamedia. Fluke garanterar inte att programvaran
är felfri och heller inte att den fungerar utan avbrott.
Flukes auktoriserade återförsäljare förmedlar denna garanti endast till slutanvändarkunder för
nya och obegagnade produkter, men har ingen behörighet att erbjuda en mer omfattande eller
annorlunda garanti i Flukes namn. Garantisupport finns endast tillgänglig om produkten köpts i
av Fluke auktoriserad butik, eller om köparen erlagt det tillämpliga internationella priset. Fluke
förbehåller sig rätten att debitera köparen för importkostnaden för reparations/ersättningsdelar,
om en produkt som inköpts i ett land lämnas in för reparation i ett annat land.
Flukes garantiåtagande begränsar sig till, efter Flukes bedömning, antingen återbetalning av
inköpspriset, kostnadsfri reparation eller utbyte av en felaktig produkt, som lämnas in/återsänds
till av Fluke auktoriserad serviceverkstad under garantitiden.
För att få garantiservice kontaktar du närmaste av Fluke auktoriserade serviceverkstad för
returtillstånd, och skickar sedan produkten till serviceverkstaden ifråga med en beskrivning av
de problem som föreligger, med sändnings- och servicekostnaderna förbetalda (FOB
destinationen). Fluke tar inte på sig något ansvar för skador som kan uppkomma vid
försändningen. Efter garantireparationen återsänds produkten till köparen, med
sändningskostnaderna förbetalda (FOB destinationen) . Om Fluke bedömer att felet har
förorsakats av försummelse, felaktig användning, nedsmutsning, ändring, olyckshändelse eller
onormala förhållanden eller onormal hantering, inberäknat överspänningsfel till följd av
användning utanför de värden som specificerats för produkten, eller normal förslitning av
mekaniska komponenter, kommer Fluke and lämna besked om de uppskattade
reparationskostnaderna och invänta godkännande av dessa innan arbetet påbörjas. Efter
reparationen återsänds produkten till köparen med sändningskostnaden förbetald varefter
köparen faktureras för reparationskostnaden och återsändningskostnaden (FOB
leveransstället).
DENNA GARANTI ÄR KÖPARENS ENDA GOTTGÖRELSE OCH ERSÄTTER ALLA ANDRA
GARANTIER, UTTRYCKLIGA ELLER UNDERFÖRSTÅDDA, INKLUSIVE MEN INTE
BEGRÄNSAT TILL GARANTIER AVSEENDE SÄLJBARHET ELLER LÄMPLIGHET FÖR EN
VISS ANVÄNDNING. FLUKE KAN INTE GÖRAS ANSVARIGT FÖR NÅGRA SPECIELLA
SKADOR, INDIREKTA SKADOR, OFÖRUTSEDDA SKADOR ELLER FÖLJDSKADOR,
INKLUSIVE FÖRLORADE DATA, OAVSETT ANLEDNING ELLER TEORETISK ORSAK.
Vissa stater eller länder tillåter inte begränsningar av en underförstådd garantis löptid, eller
undantag eller begränsning av tillfälliga skador eller följdskador, varför begränsningarna och
undantagen i denna garanti kanske inte gäller för varje köpare. Om något villkor i denna garanti
skulle konstateras vara ogiltigt eller otillämpbart av en behörig domstol eller motsvarande, skall
ett sådant utslag inte inverka på giltigheten eller tillämpbarheten hos något annat villkor.

ГОДНОСТИ ДЛЯ ПРОДАЖИ ИЛИ ГОДНОСТИ ДЛЯ ОПРЕДЕЛЕННОЙ ЦЕЛИ. FLUKE НЕ НЕСЕТ
ОТВЕТСТВЕННОСТИ ЗА СПЕЦИАЛЬНЫЕ, СЛУЧАЙНЫЕ ИЛИ КОСВЕННЫЕ ПОВРЕЖДЕНИЯ ИЛИ
УЩЕРБ, ВКЛЮЧАЯ ПОТЕРЮ ДАННЫХ, ЯВЛЯЮЩИЕСЯ РЕЗУЛЬТАТОМ КАКИХ-ЛИБО ДЕЙСТВИЙ
ИЛИ МЕТОДОВ.
Поскольку некоторые страны не допускают ограничения срока связанной гарантии или
исключения и ограничения случайных или косвенных повреждений, ограничения этой гарантии
могут относиться не ко всем покупателям. Если какое-либо положение этой гарантии признано
судом или другим директивным органом надлежащей юрисдикции недействительным или не
имеющим законной силы, такое признание не повлияет на действительность или законную силу
других положений.

eskimesi nedeniyle olduğunu saptarsa, onarım masrafları için bir tahminde bulunacak ve işe
başlamadan önce onay alacaktır. Onarımdan sonra ürün, ulaşım ücreti önceden ödenmiş olarak
Alıcıya geri gönderilecek ve Alıcı, onarım ve geri gönderim ücretleri (FOB Nakliyat Noktası) için
faturalanacaktır.
BU GARANTİ, ALICININ TEK VE YALNIZ KENDİSİNE TANINAN ÇÖZÜM HAKKI OLUP,
PAZARLANABİLİRLİK VE BELLİ BİR AMACA UYGUNLUK GİBİ İMA EDİLEN GARANTİLER De
DAHİL, ANCAK BUNLARLA SINIRLI OLMAKSIZIN AÇIK VEYA İMA EDİLEN DİĞER TÜM
GARANTİLERİN YERİNE GEÇER. FLUKE, HERHANGİ BİR NEDEN VEYA TEORİ SONUCU
OLUŞAN ÖZEL, DOLAYLI, ARIZİ VEYA TESADÜFİ VERİ KAYBI DA DAHİL, HİÇBİR KAYIP VE
ZARARDAN SORUMLU TUTULAMAZ.
Bazı ülke ve eyaletler, ima edilen bir garanti maddesinin sınırlanmasına ya da tesadüfi veya sonuçsal
zararların sınırlanması veya kapsam dışı bırakılmasına izin vermediğinden, bu garantinin sınırlanması
veya kapsam dışında bırakılması, her alıcı için geçerli olmayabilir. Bu Garantinin herhangi bir maddesi
bir mahkeme veya yargı konusunda yetkili başka bir karar organı tarafından geçersiz veya yürürlüğe
konamaz olarak kabul edildiğinde, bu uygulama, diğer hükümlerin geçerlik ve uygulanabilirliğini
etkilemeyecektir.

DOROZUMIANYCH, OBEJMUJĄCYCH, ALE NIE OGRANICZONYCH DO ŻADNEJ
DOROZUMIANEJ GWARANCJI ZBYWALNOŚCI LUB ZDATNOŚCI DO DANEGO CELU. FIRMA
FLUKE NIE BĘDZIE ODPOWIEDZIALNA ZA ŻADNE SPECJALNE, POŚREDNIE, PRZYPADKOWE
LUB NASTĘPUJĄCE STRATY, ŁĄCZNIE Z UTRATĄ DANYCH, WYNIKAJĄCE Z JAKIEJKOLWIEK
PRZYCZYNY LUB TEORII.
Ponieważ niektóre kraje lub stany nie zezwalają na ograniczenie terminu dorozumianej gwarancji lub
wyłączenia, lub ograniczenia przypadkowych, lub następujących strat, ograniczenia i wyłączenia z
niniejszej gwarancji mogą nie mieć zastosowania dla każdego nabywcy. Jeśli którykolwiek z
przepisów niniejszej Gwarancji zostanie podważony lub niemożliwy do wprowadzenia przez sąd lub
inny kompetentny organ decyzyjny odpowiedniej jurysdykcji, nie będzie to mieć wpływu na
obowiązywanie wszystkich innych przepisów niniejszej Gwarancji.

Safety Information

Safety Information
XW Warning: Read before Tester use.
To prevent possible electrical shock or personal
injury, follow these guidelines:
• Before and after testing, confirm that the Tester
does not indicate the presence of a hazardous
voltage, see Figure 3. If the Tester beeps
continuously and a hazardous voltage is shown
on the display, remove power from the circuit
under test or allow the installation capacitance to
fully discharge.
• Use the Tester only as specified in this manual.
Otherwise the protection provided by the Tester
can be compromised.
• Connect the common test lead before the live test
lead and remove the live test lead before the
common test lead.
• Do not disconnect the test leads before a test has
been completed and the test voltage at the
terminals has returned to zero. This ensures that
any charged capacitance is fully discharged.
• Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-
voltage capacitors before you measure resistance
or capacitance.
• Do not work alone or around explosive gas, vapor
or dust.
• Do not use the Tester in a damp or wet
environment.
• Examine the test leads for damaged insulation or
exposed metal. Check test lead continuity.
Replace damaged leads. Do not use the Tester if it
looks damaged.
• Be careful around voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V ac
peak, or 60 V dc. Such voltages pose a shock
hazard.
• Keep fingers behind the finger guards on the
probes.
1550C/1555

• Do not exceed the voltage or measurement
category (CAT) rating of the test
probes/accessories. Not all accessories provided
are for use at the full-rated output voltage of the
Tester. Accessories rated to 1000V CAT III/ 600V
CAT IV are intended for hands-free use during
insulation testing and are not to be touched while
the output of the Tester exceeds the accessory’s
marked rating. Allow the Tester to fully discharge
the installation before removing the test
accessory.
• Impedances of additional operating circuits
connected in parallel can adversely affect
measurements.
• Place test leads in proper input terminals.
• Do not use the Tester with any parts or cover
removed.
• Use only specified replacement parts in the
Tester.
• Do not use the Tester if the safety shutter is
impaired in any way. The safety shutter prevents
access to the test terminals and charger terminals
at the same time.
• There are no user replaceable parts inside the
Tester.
• Use the guard terminal only as specified in this
manual.
• Use only recommended test leads.
• Do not use in distribution systems with voltages
higher than 1100 V.

Charge the Battery
Pb = Note
This Tester uses a rechargeable 12 V lead-acid battery for power. Do
not mix with the solid waste stream. Use a qualified recycler or
hazardous materials handler to discard dead batteries. Contact your
approved Fluke Service Center for disposal and recycling data.
Storing rechargeable lead-acid batteries in a low-charged state could
decrease their life and/or damage them. Fully charge the battery
before storing it for extended periods and examine the charge at
regular intervals.
Charge the 12 V lead-acid battery with the ac power cord.
12 hours is typically necessary to fully charge the battery. Do not charge in
very high or low temperatures. Charge the battery if the Tester is not used for
extended periods. Figure 5 shows how to connect the Tester to a power supply.

Guard Terminal Use
Note
Insulation resistance is measured between the (
+
) and (
−
) output
connections. The Guard terminal (G) is at the same potential as the
negative (−) terminal but is not in the measurement path.
For most tests, only two test leads are used. Connect the positive (+) and
negative (−) test leads to the corresponding inputs on the Tester. Connect the
test lead probes to the circuit under test. The Guard (G) terminal is left
unconnected.
For the best accuracy when you measure very high resistances, use three-wire
measurements and the Guard terminal. The Guard terminal is at the same
potential as the negative (−) terminal, and can be used to prevent surface
leakage or other unwanted leakage currents from degrading the accuracy of the
insulation resistance measurement.
Figure 6 shows how to measure the resistance from one of the conductors to
the outer shield. In this case, there is a leakage current along the surface of the
inner insulation near the cables end. This leakage adds to the current that the
negative terminal senses, and causes the Tester to read a lower resistance than
it should.

Figure 7 shows how to prevent surface current leakage with a lead connected

surface leakage current is directed to the Guard terminal. This removes the
leakage current from the measurement path between the positive and negative
terminals, and improves the accuracy of the test readings.

Before an Insulation Test
The Tester includes features and functions that let you adapt the test to your
requirements. These features let you:
• define a test voltage
• make a ramp test selection
• set a time limit (duration) for the test
• measure polarization index (PI)
• measure dielectric absorption ratio (DAR)
• measure capacitance
Use these alone or in combination. Set, clear, or account for (as appropriate)
each feature before you start an insulation test. The features are discussed in
this section.

Select a Ramp or Steady-State Test
The ramp-test function is an automated test that checks insulation for a
breakdown. During a ramp test, the output voltage starts at 0 V and increases
linearly (100 V/s) until it reaches the specified test voltage or until a sudden
drop in measured resistance is detected. Then, the Ramp stops, the test voltage
drops to zero, and the voltage at the breakdown point is stored in memory on
the Tester. All other test results are declared invalid if the test does not reach
the specified test voltage. If the test successfully meets compliance without
breakdown, then the only valid test results are test voltage and insulation
resistance.
To enable or disable the ramp function:
1. With the Tester turned on, push to enter the 1.X Function Menu.
2. Push to call the menu item.
