Safety Precautions  
To use this instrument safely, it is essential that operating  
and servicing personnel follow both generally accepted  
safety procedures and the safety precautions specified in  
this manual.  
Specific warning and caution statements, where they  
apply, will be found throughout the manual.  
The terms "Isolated" or "Electrically floating" are used in  
this manual to indicate a measurement in which the  
ScopeMeter test tool COM (common, also called ground) is  
connected to a voltage different from earth ground. The  
term "Grounded" is used in this manual to indicate a  
measurement in which the ScopeMeter test tool COM  
(common) is connected to an earth ground potential.  
Where necessary, the warning and caution statements  
and/or symbols are marked on the instrument.  
The ScopeMeter test tool COM (common) inputs (red  
INPUT A BNC shield, grey INPUT B BNC shield, and black  
4-mm banana jack) are connected internally via self-  
recovering fault protection. The input connectors have no  
exposed metal and are fully insulated to protect against  
electrical shock. The black 4-mm banana jack COM  
(common) can be connected to a voltage above earth  
ground for isolated (electrically floating) measurements  
and is rated up to 600V rms above earth ground.  
A CAUTION identifies conditions and actions that may  
damage the test tool.  
A WARNING IDENTIFIES CONDITIONS AND ACTIONS  
THAT POSE HAZARD(S) TO THE USER.

The ScopeMeter test tool uses a three-lead connection sys-  
tem for dual input, isolated (electrically floating) measure-  
ments. The connections for isolated and grounded  
measurements are shown in the following illustration.  
WARNING  
DO THE FOLLOWING TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK  
IF A SCOPEMETER TEST TOOL COM (COMMON)  
INPUT IS CONNECTED TO >42V PEAK (30V RMS):  
1. USE ONLY THE TEST LEAD/PROBE SET SUPPLIED  
WITH THE SCOPEMETER TEST TOOL (OR  
SAFETY-DESIGNED  
EQUIVALENTS  
WITHOUT  
EXPOSED METAL CONNECTORS).  
2. DO NOT USE CONVENTIONAL EXPOSED METAL  
BNC OR BANANA PLUG CONNECTORS IF THE  
COM (COMMON) IS >42V PEAK (30V RMS).  
3. USE ONLY ONE  
COM (COMMON) CONNECTION  
(THE 4-MM BLACK BANANA JACK).  
4. REMOVE ALL PROBES AND TEST LEADS THAT  
ARE NOT IN USE.  
5. USE 600V RATED PROBE TIP ADAPTERS.  
"600V" IS PRINTED ON EQUIPMENT SO RATED.

92B/96B/99B/105B Users Manual  
If Safety-Protection is Impaired  
For three-phase electrical or other isolated ground  
industrial measurements, we strongly recommend that you  
use the black Industrial Alligator Clip and the red and grey  
Industrial Probe Alligator Clips (see Figure 4). These parts  
are included with original purchase ScopeMeter test tools  
and are also available as accessories from your FLUKE  
representative.  
Use of equipment in a manner not specified may  
impair the protection provided by the equipment.  
Before use, inspect probes for mechanical damage  
and replace damaged probes!  
Whenever it is likely that safety has been impaired, the  
instrument must be turned off and disconnected from line  
power. The matter should then be referred to qualified  
personnel. Safety is likely to be impaired if, for example,  
the instrument fails to perform the intended measurements  
or shows visible damage.  
Isolating from Input to Input  
The ScopeMeter test tool is not isolated between inputs but  
uses the black 4-mm banana jack for measurements  
isolated from earth ground.  
Complete isolation between INPUT A and INPUT B is  
useful for some floating measurement applications, such  
as measuring different isolated transformer windings at the  
same time.  
MAKING ISOLATED MEASUREMENTS  
Isolating from Earth Ground  
The ScopeMeter test tool uses a three-lead connection  
system for dual input, isolated (electrically floating)  
measurements. Use a test lead connected to the black 4-mm  
banana jack as common ground.  
For those applications requiring true isolated grounds  
(commons) between inputs, we recommend that you make  
two separate measurements or use two ScopeMeter test  
tools.  
There are only three wires to connect for dual input isolated  
ground operation, useful for three-phase industrial voltage  
measurements. You can connect the three leads on the  
test tool (INPUT A, INPUT B, and common) to a three-  
phase electrical power line in any order. Use the A-B mode  
(see Chapter 5) to display all three phases of electrical  
power at the same time.

POWERING THE SCOPEMETER TEST TOOL  
The test tool can be powered from any of the following  
sources. Refer to Figure 1-2.  
Internal Battery Pack (PM9086)  
A rechargeable NiCad Battery Pack comes installed in  
every test tool.  
EXTERNAL  
POWER  
SOCKET  
C Cell Batteries  
You can use four alkaline batteries in place of the  
NiCad Battery Pack. (The charger is defeated when  
standard C cells are installed).  
Power Adapter (PM8907)  
The Power Adapter/Battery Charger powers the test  
tool from a standard ac outlet. The test tool can be used  
during battery charging. Verify that your local line  
voltage is appropriate before using the Power  
Adapter/Battery Charger to power the test tool and/or  
charge the battery pack.  
See Appendix 9C for more information.  
Figure 1-2. Power Connections  
Automotive Adapter (PM9087, optional)  
The Automotive Adapter powers and charges from a  
standard 12V dc automotive accessory (lighter) outlet.  
NOTE  
If the test tool is powered with the Power Adapter but  
doesn’t work, the batteries may be completely empty. In  
that case it is advised to charge the batteries for 21 hours  
before using the test tool.

MINIMIZING SIGNAL NOISE  
In general, using your test tool on battery power only will  
minimize noise pickup. Using the 10:1 probe will help in  
noise rejection.  
If you use the Power Adapter (PM8907), connect a test  
lead from the black 4-mm banana jack COM (common) to  
the measurement common (ground) of the system under  
test. This technique reduces or eliminates any power line  
related noise.

3. The Power Adapter/Battery Charger uses a trickle charge  
for the batteries, so no damage can occur if you leave it  
charging for long periods, e.g., through the weekend.  
Typically a 21-hour recharge provides 4 hours of use.  
CHARGING THE BATTERY  
WARNING  
TO AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK, USE ONLY A BATTERY  
CHARGER THAT IS AUTHORIZED FOR USE WITH  
SCOPEMETER TEST TOOL.  
Saving Battery Life  
When operated only on batteries, the test tool conserves  
power by shutting itself down. If no new keys have been  
pressed for 6 minutes or if the battery level is too low, the  
test tool beeps and displays a message. This prompts you to  
turn off the test tool or to continue. If no key is pressed  
during the next 5 minutes, the test tool turns itself off  
automatically.  
Use the following procedure to charge the battery pack and  
power the instrument:  
1. Connect the Power Adapter/Battery Charger to line  
voltage.  
2. Insert the Power Adapter/Battery Charger low voltage  
plug into the Power Adapter connector of the  
ScopeMeter test tool. The test tool can now be used  
while the NiCad batteries charge slowly. If the test tool  
is turned off, the batteries charge more quickly.  
When the  
is pressed ON, the last configuration prior to  
the automatic shutdown will be restored.  
Automatic power shutdown will not occur if Min Max  
TrendPlot™ or ScopeRecord™ is active or if any key is  
pressed. Although recording will continue if the batteries  
are low, memory retention is not jeopardized.  
NOTE  
When the batteries are completely empty, the test tool  
can not work during charging. In that case it is advised  
to charge the batteries for 21 hours before using the  
test tool.  
If the Power Adapter is connected, there is no automatic  
power shutdown.  
During operation, when the batteries are low, a blinking  
battery symbol  
appears on the top right of the  
display. When this occurs there is typically more than  
30 minutes of operating time left.

MEASURING FUNCTIONS NOT AVAILABLE  
FROM THE MEASURE MENU  
At default, three measurement readings are displayed at  
the same time, although you can display up to four  
readings. See Chapters 4 and 6 for more information.  
There are also a few more measurements that you can  
only find in the Scope, Meter or EXT.mV modes. These are  
listed below.  
When you exceed the number of selected readings, all  
readings shift down one and your latest chosen  
measurement is placed on top. Notice that the previous  
bottom reading is then removed.  
Chapter 4 describes how to select the Meter and EXT.mV  
mode measurements, and Chapter 5 the Scope mode  
measurements.  
Additional measurements for Meter and EXT.mV modes  
Vrms AC (no DC)  
Measure the RMS (Root Mean  
Square) voltage of the input signal in Meter mode. This is  
done with AC-coupled input so that the DC signal  
component is blocked and the range is optimized for the  
AC signal component. The V DC reading is inhibited due to  
AC coupling. In some cases this measurement gives one  
more digit of resolution over Vrms AC (DC coupled).  
dBV AC+DC (decibel Volts) Measure the voltage ratio of  
the AC and DC components of a signal with respect to a  
reference voltage in Meter mode. This is done with DC-  
coupled input.  
dBV AC (no DC) (decibel Volts) Measure the voltage  
ratio of the AC component of a signal with respect to a  
reference voltage in Meter mode. This is done with AC-  
coupled input so that the DC signal component is blocked  
and the range is optimized for the AC sinal component.

DISPLAYING MINIMUM MAXIMUM  
READINGS WITH RELATED TRENDPLOT  
The MIN MAX recording function is used to display several  
characteristics of the present main reading over time in the  
form of readings and  
a
graphical plot (Min Max  
TrendPlot™). Five readings appear on the display (see the  
display example in Figure 4-3).  
The top reading (in large characters) indicates the actual  
main reading. This is the same main reading as before  
MIN/MAX recording was started.  
The other readings (in smaller characters) are the recorded  
readings with 'Time from start' or 'Time of day' stamps, as  
follows:  
MAX indicates the maximum reading during the  
recording.  
AVG indicates the average reading during recording.  
The AVG time stamp updates continuously.  
MIN indicates the minimum reading during recording.  
MAX-MIN indicates the difference between MAX and  
MIN. The Max and Min time stamps update only when  
new high or low readings are encountered.

TRIGGERING  
Trigger Basics  
Triggering tells the ScopeMeter test tool when to begin  
displaying the waveform. You can select which input signal  
should be used as the source, on which edge this should  
occur, and at what waveform level it should occur. Finally,  
you can tell the test tool to delay the waveform to be  
displayed with a specified time delay, number of cycles, or  
number of events.  
The second top row on the display identifies the trigger  
parameters being used. Trigger icons on the display  
indicate the position of the trigger delay and the trigger  
level. Refer to Figure 5-10.  
For example,  
20 ms/DIV TRIG:A +120EVT -5DIV  
means that INPUT A is used as the trigger source with a  
positive slope. The amount of trigger delay in time divisions  
is -5, and that the amount of trigger delay in events is +120.

Multiply  
Multiplies two waveforms (each sourced from  
an active input or a memory location) and stores the result  
in the next free waveform memory. For example, power  
can be calculated with MULTIPLY if SOURCE1 represents  
the voltage drop across a device and SOURCE 2  
represents current through that device. In the following  
Figure, waveforms from Waveform 4 memory (upper) and  
INPUT A (middle) are multiplied, resulting in the waveform  
stored in Waveform 5 memory (lower).  
Invert  
INVERT allows you to reverse the polarity on  
an active input or memory waveform and store the new  
waveform in another memory location.  
Integrate This function calculates and displays the area  
of the selected waveform. Integrate allows you to totalize  
the waveform over a period of time, showing the real power  
dissipation when the waveform changes levels.

Filter  
Any waveform (active input or memory) can be  
filtered, with the resulting waveform stored in a new  
memory location. Noise suppression or simply waveform  
smoothing is thereby possible. Filtering is especially useful  
with single-shot waveforms, where averaging of multiple  
waveform samples is not otherwise available. In the  
following figure, the upper waveform represents the INPUT  
A waveform as measured, and the lower waveform  
represents the filtered version recalled from Waveform 4  
memory.

In FILTER function, the -3 dB frequency is 0.8/time-per-  
division.

MEASURING TEMPERATURE  
Temperature is an often measured characteristic. The  
80T-150U optional Temperature Probe can be used in  
conjunction with the test tool to measure the surface  
temperature, air temperature, and non-corrosive liquid  
temperature. You can measure fluctuations in temperature  
over a long period of time when the Min Max recording is  
activated. Readings on the test tool can be given in  
Fahrenheit or Celsius.  
In this example, the air temperature is measured over  
24 hours.

MEASURING POWER WITH MATH  
FUNCTION 92B 96B  
When used with the optional 80i-1000s Current Probe, the  
ScopeMeter test tool is able to measure voltage and  
current at the same time. This may be used to measure  
average power consumption of an electrical load on a  
single-phase circuit. This measurement is reliable over a  
wide range of frequencies, irrespective of the wave shapes  
of voltage or current.  
In this example you make use of the previous  
measurement setup, measuring current with the 80i-1000s  
on INPUT A, and will add the voltage measurement using  
the grey 10:1 probe on INPUT B. Be sure that INPUT A is  
set to 10 mV/A, and INPUT B is set for a 10:1 probe.

function operation that accomplishes this.

AMPLIFIER 92B  
In this example you will use cursors to measure the rise  
time of a pulse. Rise time is an indication of the bandwidth  
limitation of an analog amplifier. First you determine the 0%  
and 100% reference points of the waveform to be  
measured. These are the intersections of the waveform  
and the cursors. This manual determination of the  
reference points enables you to ignore unwanted  
overshoot, undershoot, or ringing. The test tool instantly  
measures the rise time between 10% and 90%. For precise  
measurements, set the slope to at least four time divisions.  
Press as many times as necessary until you have a  
rising slope of more than four time divisions.  
Make sure that the complete slope is displayed. If  
necessary you can use the trigger time delay to shift the  
detail on the display.

Terminology  
The following list defines special terms used in this manual.  
The terms are listed in alphabetical order. Words shown in  
italics can be found elsewhere in the list.  
Average A processing technique to obtain the average  
value of a repetitive signal, useful to eliminate noise.  
Auto Set Adjusts voltage scale and time base based on  
the characteristic of the active waveform, and automatically  
produces a stable waveform of usable size.  
AC See "Alternating Current."  
AC Coupling A mode of signal transmission that passes  
the dynamic AC signal component to INPUT A and INPUT  
B but blocks the DC component. Useful to observe an AC  
signal that is normally riding on a DC signal.  
Backlight A light that brightens the display, useful for  
improving visibility in dark surroundings.  
Bandwidth The range of frequencies that the  
ScopeMeter test tool can display accurately with no more  
than -3 dB (.7x) attenuation of the original signal.  
Alternating Current An electrical signal in which current  
and voltage vary in a repeating pattern over time.  
Amplitude The difference between the highest and  
lowest level of a waveform.  
Battery Save This feature enables the ScopeMeter test  
tool to shut itself down when running on batteries if the  
battery level is too low or if the test tool is not operated.  
Attenuation The decrease in amplitude of a signal.
