Introduction

Warning

Read "Safety Information" before you use the Meter.

The Fluke 362 is a hand-held, battery-operated clamp meter (the Meter) that measures:

•ac and dc current and voltage

•resistance

•continuity

The Meter ships with:

•TL75 test leads

•two AAA batteries (installed)

Clamp Meter

Safety Information

A Warning identifies conditions and actions that pose hazard(s) to the user. A Caution identifies

conditions and procedures that could cause Meter damage, equipment under test damage, or

permanent loss of data.

Symbols used on the Meter and in this manual are explained in Table 1.

Warning

To prevent possible electrical shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines:

•Use the Meter only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the

Meter can be compromised.

•Examine the case before you use the Meter. Look for cracks or missing plastic.

Carefully look at the insulation around the connectors.

•Never measure current while the test leads are inserted into the input jacks.

•Make sure the battery door is closed and latched before operating the Meter.

Users Manual

•Remove the test leads from the Meter before the battery door is opened.

•Examine the test leads for damaged insulation or exposed metal. Check test lead

continuity. Replace damaged test leads before using the Meter.

•Do not use the Meter if it operates incorrectly. Protection can be compromised.

When in doubt, have the Meter serviced.

•Do not use the Meter around explosive gas, vapor or in damp or wet

environments.

•Use only type AAA batteries, properly installed in the Meter case, to power the

Meter.

•When batteries are changed, make sure the calibration seal in the battery

compartment is not damaged. If damaged, the Meter may not be safe to use.

Return the Meter to Fluke for replacement of the seal.

•When measuring, keep fingers behind the Tactile Barrier. See "The Meter" .

Clamp Meter

Safety Information

•To avoid false readings that can lead to electrical shock and injury, replace the

batteries as soon as the low battery indicator () appears.

•When servicing the Meter, use only specified replacement parts.

•Have the Meter serviced only by qualified service personnel.

•Be careful around voltages > 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. Such

voltages pose a shock hazard.

•Do not apply more than the rated voltage, as marked on the Meter, between the

terminals or between any terminal and earth ground.

•When using the probes, keep fingers behind the finger guards on the probes.

•Connect the common test lead before connecting the live test lead. When

disconnecting test leads, disconnect the live test lead first.

•Do not work alone so assistance can be rendered in an emergency.

362

Users Manual

•Use extreme caution when working around bare conductors or bus bars. Contact

with the conductor could result in electric shock.

•Adhere to local and national safety codes. Individual protective equipment must

be used to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors

are exposed.

•Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before you

do diode tests or measure resistance or continuity.

•Do not measure ac/dc current in circuits carrying more than 600 V or 200 A with

the Meter Jaw.

•Never operate the Meter with the back cover removed or the case open.

•Remove the batteries if the Product is not used for an extended period of time, or

if stored in temperatures above 50 °C. If the batteries are not removed, battery

leakage can damage the Product.

Clamp Meter

Safety Information

•Measure a known voltage first to make sure that the Product operates correctly.

•Only use probes, test leads, and accessories that have the same measurement

category, voltage, and amperage ratings as the Product.

•Use Product-approved measurement category (CAT), voltage, and amperage

rated accessories (probes, test leads, and adapters) for all measurements.

•Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating of the lowest rated

individual component of a Product, probe, or accessory.

Caution

To avoid possible damage to the Meter or to equipment under test:

•Use the proper jacks, function, and range for the measurement application.

•Clean the case and accessories with a damp cloth and mild detergent only. Do

not use abrasives or solvents.
