Introduction The Fluke Models 1503, 1507, and 1508 are battery-powered insulation testers (hereafter, Tester, Product, or DUT (Device Under Test)). These Testers meet CAT IV IEC 61010 standards. The IEC 61010 standard defines four measurement categories (CAT I to IV) based on the magnitude of danger from transient impulses.
150X Series Calibration Manual Safety Information XWWarning To prevent possible electrical shock or personal injury: Do not alter the Product and use only as specified, or the protection supplied by the Product can be compromised. Do not use the Tester or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Tester is not ...

h Static Awareness h Semiconductors and integrated circuits can be damaged by electrostatic discharge during handling. This notice explains how to minimize damage to these components. Understand the problem. Learn the guidelines for proper handling. Use the proper procedures, packaging, and bench techniques. Follow these practices to minimize damage to static sensitive parts.
150X Series Calibration Manual Test the Batteries XWWarning To prevent possible electrical shock or personal injury, replace the battery when the low battery indicator (B) shows to prevent incorrect measurements. A weak battery can cause false readings. The Tester continuously monitors battery voltage. If the low battery icon (B) appears on the display, there is minimal battery life left.

150X Series Calibration Manual Keypad Test The keypad consists of six keys located above the rotary switch. To test the keypad: 1. Turn the rotary switch to and momentarily press each of the six keys. Each press of an operational key causes the Tester to beep. No beep in response to a key press indicates a defective keypad.
Insulation Testers Basic Maintenance Remove the Holster The standard Tester comes with a snug-fitting yellow rubber holster. The holster protects the Tester from rough handling and normally remains on the Tester. The first step to disassemble the Tester is to remove the holster. To remove the holster: 1.
150X Series Calibration Manual Open the Bottom Case With the battery door removed, the next step to disassemble the Tester is to remove the bottom case. To remove the bottom case: Note When you remove the back cover, you do not have to remove the fuse or the batteries.

Insulation Testers Remove the PCA Figure 4. Insulation Terminal Clips 3. With one hand over the PCA, roll the top case over (face up) and lift it away from the PCA. Note Two red and one black plastic shields you attisolate the user from the input terminals. With the PCA removed, these shields are loose and can fall away from the PCA.
150X Series Calibration Manual Remove the Display With the PCA removed, the final step to disassemble the Tester is to remove the display assembly from the PCA. Refer to Figure 5 and use this procedure to remove the display assembly: 1.

Tester (DUT) and its performance level. The performance test is recommended as an acceptance test for incoming inspection and as a calibration procedure to periodically ensure the accuracy of the Tester. Fluke recommends that you run the performance test at least once a year.
To prevent damage to the calibrator, do not attempt to use the 5500A, 5520A, or other standard calibrator for the insulation tests. WCaution To prevent damage to the Fluke 5320A, make sure to select the High Ohms function before you push the T on the DUT.
1. Connect the DUT terminals to the Fluke 5320A High Resistance INSULATION output terminals. 2. Set the Fluke 5320A to the high resistance source function (H). 3. Turn the DUT rotary function switch to an function. INSULATION 4. Select the DUT insulation voltage range per Table 5.
3. Set the Fluke 5320A for the applied load shown in Table 6 for Steps 1-5. 4. Press T and verify that the DUT and Fluke 5320A voltage reads within the limits of Table 6. Record both readings. 5. Use the Fluke 5320A voltage reading as the reference and calculate the DUT voltage reading error %, (5320A V - DUT V / 5320A V) x 100, and record for later use.
Insulation Testers Performance Tests Source Voltage Accuracy Test, Open Circuit Determine the open circuit source voltage accuracy by calculation. use the DUT Voltage Reading Error % previously noted. Complete the subsequent test to verify the actual open circuit source voltage. 1.
3. Set the 5320A for the Applied Load called out in Table 8 for Steps 1-5. 4. Press T and make sure that the Fluke 5320A current reading is >1000.0 μA for steps 1-5. Table 8. I Nominal Test/Limit Test...
5. Press T and make sure that the DUT reads within the display reading limits shown in Table 6. Connect the Fluke 5320A high resistance output terminals to the DUT COM and Ω terminals. 7. Set the Fluke 5320A to the high resistance source function (H).
3. Set the DUT rotary function switch to the function. Ω 4. Press T and verify that the Fluke 5320A voltage reading is >4.0 V but <8.0 V. Calibration Adjustment The Tester features closed-case calibration adjustment and uses known reference sources.
