190 Series III Service Manual Static Awareness Semiconductors and integrated circuits can be damaged by electrostatic discharge during handling. This notice explains how to minimize damage to these components. 1. Understand the problem. 2. Learn the guidelines for proper handling. 3.
ScopeMeter® Test Tool Specifications Specifications Complete specifications are at www.fluke.com. See the 190 Series III Product Specifications. Performance Verification XW Warning To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal injury, do not service the Test Tool unless you are qualified to do so. Service described in this manual is to be done only by qualified service personnel.
190 Series III Service Manual Equipment Requirements for Verification The primary source instrument used in the verification procedures is the Fluke 5502A. If a 5502A is not available, you can substitute another calibrator as long as it meets the minimum test requirements.
ScopeMeter® Test Tool Performance Verification Menu Navigation During verification you must open menus and choose items from the menu. To make choices in a menu: 1. Reset the Test Tool. 2. Open a menu, for example, press and press (READING …). The menu shown in Figure 1 opens.

The Test Tool contains a Li-ion battery pack. See Section 1 for instructions on how to safely handle and use this battery pack. The Users Manual is available at www.fluke.com. The Test Tool uses self-tapping screws. For longer life, use a hand-operated screwdriver to reinsert the screws into the same screw-hole threads on the case.
190 Series III Service Manual Open the Test Tool, Remove the Battery Pack To remove the battery: 1. Turn the plastic battery door screws one-quarter turn counterclockwise with a standard blade screwdriver. 2. Remove the battery access door. 3. Remove the battery from the instrument. Note Do not short circuit the battery contacts.
