Installing Batteries
To avoid electrical shock, turn the unit off and disconnect
its leads from any circuit before opening the unit's battery
door.
Use only 9 volt alkaline batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment
with a screwdriver to insert a new battery. Properly attach the connection wires
and close the compartment. Do not over tighten the screw.
The P
3000 Probe
RO
The P
3000 probe is a highly sensitive inductive probe with amplified speaker,
RO
which makes signals transmitted by the P
metallic tip allows testing in distribution blocks without disturbing other services
(Figure 1).
Though the tip is non-metallic, never touch the tip to
exposed power sources such as electrical outlets.
Figure 1. P
The P
3000 Probe has a 3.5 mm monaural earphone jack on its side. When you
RO
connect the optional earphone, the speaker is muted and you hear the tones in
the earphone. The earphone lets you avoid disturbing people nearby. A
compatible earphone is available from Fluke Networks.
When using the optional earphone, start with a low volume. Always approach
wires cautiously to avoid loud tones in the earphone. Adjust the volume as
necessary.
The probe tip is replaceable. If the tip is damaged, replace it with the spare tip
found inside the probe's battery compartment.
To remove the tip, turn it counterclockwise a quarter turn and pull it out. To
install a new tip, insert it into the hole in the front of the probe and turn it
clockwise a quarter turn until it stops.
