Introduction The 80K-15 Electronic Air Cleaner Probe (hereafter referred to as "the probe") is a low energy probe that extends the voltage measuring capability of an ac/dc voltmeter or multimeter. Properly connected, the probe is rated to 15 kV Overvoltage Category I. The use of the probe is restricted to low energy applications, which are energy limited circuits like electrostatic air cleaners. Do not use this probe to measure high voltages on power distribution systems. The probe is a precision 1000 : 1 voltage divider formed by two matched resistors. The unusually high input impedance offered by these resistors minimizes circuit loading and thereby optimizes measurement accuracy. WRead First: Safety Information WWarning To avoid possible personal injury or electrical shock: * Use the probe within its voltage ratings and in dry conditions (no condensation is present). * Be familiar with and exercise all possible high voltage safety practices. * DO NOT use this probe to measure high voltage on power distribution systems. * Always hold the probe by its gray handle. Never allow the probe tip or the yellow part of the probe to make body contact. * Before making a measurement, make sure that the side of the probe plug with the GND tab is plugged into the low (COM) terminal of the meter. * Attach the grounding lead to earth ground. * Use a meter with an impedance of 10 M ( 1% ). Using a meter with an input impedance less than 10 M reduces the accuracy of the reading by causing it to be lower than the voltage present. * DO NOT use the probe with a Fluke multimeter that is in the kChek or Automatic Selection mode (i.e. Fluke 16, Fluke 12B etc.). The input impedance in these modes is very low. * Make sure the probe tip is firmly attached to the body of the probe. * DO NOT use the probe around explosive gas, vapor, or dust. * DO NOT use the probe if it operates abnormally. Protection may be impaired. When in doubt have the probe serviced. PN 690385 May 1998 (c)1998 Fluke Corporation. All rights reserved.

A meter with an input impedance less than 10 M can produce readings lower than the voltage present. This can pose a serious hazard when a dangerous voltage is present. The 80K-15 represents a 1000 M load to the circuit being measured, or 1 A per 1 kV. Table 1 shows the circuit loading and input/output characteristics of the probe over its measurement range. Taking care to follow the safety practices under "WRead First: Safety Information," use the probe as follows: 1. Turn on a compatible voltmeter or multimeter and select the voltage measurement function. 2. Select an appropriate voltage range (i.e., 1 volt reading per 1000 volt input. See Table 1). 3. Connect the probe's output leads to the voltmeter or multimeter input terminals. The input impedance in almost all ranges of Fluke multimeters is ~10 M. The exceptions are: the 3 V range on the Fluke Models 21, 23, 25, 27, 70, 73, 75, 7; and the 4 V range on the Models 10, 11, 12, 16, 79, 83, 85, 86, 87, 88. In the ranges on these multimeters, the impedance is 11.11 M. To improve the measurement accuracy of the probe when using these ranges on the models indicated, apply a correction factor of 0.99 i.e., multiply the display reading by 0.99.
