Introduction

The Fluke 106 and 107 Multimeters (the Product) are

6000 count instruments.

The Product is battery powered with a digital display.

Except where noted, the descriptions and instructions in

this Users Manual apply to both the 106 and 107.

Unless otherwise identified, all illustrations show the 107.

Safety Information

The Fluke 106 and 107 comply with IEC 61010-1 CAT III

600 V overvoltage standard. See Specifications.

A Warning identifies conditions and procedures that are

dangerous to the user. A Caution identifies conditions

and procedures that could cause damage to the Product

or the equipment under test.

International electrical symbols used on the Product and

in this manual are explained in Table 1.

Safe Working Practices

Review the safety information and comply with the safe

working practices.

Users Manual

Warning

To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or

personal injury:

•Carefully read all instructions.

•Read all safety information before you

use the Product.

•Use the Product only as specified, or the

protection supplied by the Product can

be compromised.

•Do not use the Product around explosive

gas, vapor, or in damp or wet

environments.

•Do not use and disable the Product if it

is damaged.

•Do not use the Product if it operates

incorrectly.

•Examine the case before you use the

Product. Look for cracks or missing

plastic. Carefully look at the insulation

around the terminals.

•Use only correct measurement category

(CAT), voltage, and amperage rated

probes, test leads, and adapters for the

measurement.

•Measure a known voltage first to make

sure that the Product operates correctly.

•Do not use test leads if they are

damaged. Examine the test leads for

damaged insulation and measure a

known voltage.

•Limit operation to the specified

measurement category, voltage, or

amperage ratings.

•Do not apply more than the rated voltage,

between the terminals or between each

terminal and earth ground.

•Do not use the HOLD function to

measure unknown potentials. When

HOLD is turned on, the display does not

change when a different potential is

measured.

•Do not touch voltages >30 V ac rms, 42 V

ac peak, or 60 V dc.

Safe Working Practices

•Do not use test leads if they are

damaged. Examine the test leads for

damaged insulation and measure a

known voltage.

•Keep fingers behind the finger guards on

the probes.

•Remove all probes, test leads, and

accessories before the battery door is

opened.

•Do not exceed the Measurement

Category (CAT) rating of the lowest rated

individual component of a Product,

probe, or accessory.

•Remove the input signals before you

clean the Product.

•Use only specified replacement parts.

•Use only specified replacement fuses.

•Have an approved technician repair the

Product.

•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.

•Replace the batteries when the low

battery indicator shows to prevent

incorrect measurements.

For safe operation and maintenance of the

product, repair the Product before use if the

batteries leak.

Users Manual

Auto Power Off

The Product automatically powers off after 20 minutes’

inactivity.

To restart the Product, turn the rotary switch back to the

OFF position and then to a necessary position.

To disable the Auto Power Off function, hold down the

Shift key when turning on the Product, until PoFF shows

on the display.

Auto Backlight Off

The backlight automatically turns of after 2 minutes’

inactivity.

To disable the Auto Backlight Off function, hold down the

key when turning on the Product, until LoFF shows on

the display.

Note

To disable both the Auto Power Off function and

the Auto Backlight Off function, you can also hold

down the Shift key and the



key at the same

time, until both PoFF and LoFF show on the

display.
