Unique, compact, convenient
The Fluke PRV240 Proving Unit is a portable, pocket-sized,
battery-powered voltage source. It is unique in that it sources
stable ac and dc voltages for both LoZ and HiZ instruments.
Designed for safety and compliance
The Fluke PRV240 provides a safe method to verify that your
electrical test tool is operating properly before you conduct any live
tests. The concept of “Test Before Touch” (TBT) involves testing
your meter against a known live source before and after the actual
measurement. This sequence verifies that your test tool is operat-
ing properly during the actual measurement.
Verify your test tool without unnecessary exposure to shock and
arc flash. Using the PRV240 reduces the need for personal protec-
tive equipment (PPE) when a known voltage source is not available
for verification of your tester or multimeter before test before TBT
are performed. PPE is still needed for absence of voltage testing
when appropriate.
Key benefits
• Using the PRV240 reduces the risk of shock and arc flash by
validating the functionality of test tools without placing yourself
in a potentially hazardous electrical environment
• Sources both ac and dc steady-state voltage—supplies 240 V
dc/ac
• A single LED indicates functionality, making this unit a simple-
to-use solution for complying with TBT verification of your test
tool
• Compatible with both high impedance or low impedance
multimeters, clamp meters or two pole testers
• Voltage is sourced through recessed contacts that are activated
when tested probes are inserted to avoid accidental contact
• Includes TPAK magnetic hanging strap
• Long battery life—5,000 tests per set of four AA batteries
