How do I install batteries in a t5 600 fluke meter

check for shorts in circuit after battery connector

check battery contacts and make sure that batteries are in correct position - other than that you will have to return unit for service

You will have to open the meter and remove old battery and replace it. If you are not sure how to do that find someone that is technicly minded because it's not that hard. Battery is

12 V lead-acid rechargeable battery.
Yuasa NP2.8-12

One possible reason: there was steam or water inside the meter through probe. The easy way to fix, just try to Dry it as much as possible (if you like, you can take its battery off first). When its inside dry, it will be OK. I have a Fluke 52 II, this happened many times now. After it back, everything is OK, it has passed its calibration well.

Go on E-bay for electrical test equipment and look for growler.or go google and type in armature growler test equipment and see what you get.

return for service to fluke if batteries and battery terminals are good

Error 1 is an indication that the self test has failed. This will require repair at an authorized Fluke service center. There is an internal problem with the meter. The only thing that you can try is to replace the internal battery. Should the battery be defective, the internal testing can be effected. I have only seen this occur once, but it is worth the attempt. Should a new battery not fix the problem, return the meter to Fluke for repair.

Hi,

User guide is here http://us.fluke.com/usen/Support/Manuals/default.htm?pid=37115

Includes info on how to measure voltage. For lower voltages it is simply a matter of selecting voltage measurement and putting the probes across the voltage (i.e. on each terminal of a 9v battery). For much higher voltages you may need special probes that effectively step down the voltage by a factor.

If this helps please leave feedback, if not let me know and I'll trya nd help some more!

Hi, that is the error message indicating a EEPROM error and unfortunatlely, you can't do anything except have the meter serviced by either Fluke directly, or by an authorized Fluke test equipment dealer.

Since Fluke doesn't provide the specs and coding for their products, you wouldn't be able to repair the meter properly, even if you could burn and program your own chipset.

Here's a copy of the manual for your meter, so you can contact Fluke for servicing and see the other info relating to it (for your future reference)

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Fluke products are typically quality test instruments and there might be a possibility that you're still covered under their warranty, so checking with them is the best avenue for getting it back to working condition.

I hope you find this Very Helpful and best regards!

your batteries are shot
