 LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
Each Fluke product is warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use and
service. The warranty period is one year and begins on the date of shipment. Parts, product repairs, and
services are warranted for 90 days. This warranty extends only to the original buyer or end-user customer of
a Fluke authorized reseller, and does not apply to fuses, disposable batteries, or to any product which, in
Fluke's opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected, contaminated, or damaged by accident or abnormal
conditions of operation or handling. Fluke warrants that software will operate substantially in accordance
with its functional specifications for 90 days and that it has been properly recorded on non-defective media.
Fluke does not warrant that software will be error free or operate without interruption.
Fluke authorized resellers shall extend this warranty on new and unused products to end-user customers
only but have no authority to extend a greater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is
available only if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet or Buyer has paid the
applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of
repair/replacement parts when product purchased in one country is submitted for repair in another country.
Fluke's warranty obligation is limited, at Fluke's option, to refund of the purchase price, free of charge repair,
or replacement of a defective product which is returned to a Fluke authorized service center within the
warranty period.
To obtain warranty service, contact your nearest Fluke authorized service center to obtain return
authorization information, then send the product to that service center, with a description of the difficulty,
postage and insurance prepaid (FOB Destination). Fluke assumes no risk for damage in transit. Following
warranty repair, the product will be returned to Buyer, transportation prepaid (FOB Destination). If Fluke
determines that failure was caused by neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or abnormal
condition of operation or handling, including overvoltage failures caused by use outside the product’s
specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair
costs and obtain authorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to
the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will be billed for the repair and return transportation charges
(FOB Shipping Point).
THIS WARRANTY IS BUYER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. FLUKE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE
FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES,
INCLUDING LOSS OF DATA, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OR THEORY.
Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations and exclusions of this warranty may not
apply to every buyer. If any provision of this Warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court or other
decision-maker of competent jurisdiction, such holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other
provision.

Warning: The AC adapter has circuits with high voltages inside that could
present danger of electric shock or fire if exposed. If the AC adapter is damaged
in any way or becomes hot, discontinue its use immediately, disconnect it from
any AC supply, and have it replaced. Do not attempt to open, repair, or continue
using a damaged or defective AC adapter

Caution: Probes are fragile devices that can be easily damaged by mechanical
shock, overheating, and absorption of moisture or fluids in the wires or hub.
Damage may not be visibly apparent but nevertheless can cause drift, instability,
and loss of accuracy. Observe the following precautions:

1. Use the 1523/24 demand log and auto log functions to avoid connecting to a
computer when using grounded junction or bare junction thermocouples. Once
the readings are complete, connect the RS-232 cable and upload the data to the
personal computer.
2. Use an optically coupled isolator that is connected between the personal
computer and the RS-232 cable to the 1523/24. The Isolator breaks the
electrical ground loop by only communicating data, using light. Refer Section
1.8 for contact information to purchase the Isolator or if you have any further
questions.
3. Use a laptop computer running on its battery without an AC adapter. This may
provide enough isolation to minimize the grounded thermocouple measurement
errors. The user should test this scenario by taking measurements with and
without the RS-232 cable connected to the 1523/24.

7.9.3 1523/24 As Left Test Data

1. Take as Left data by following the steps in the As Found Data section.
2. Calculate the average and the standard deviation of the measurements taken in
step 1, including the Channel T2 data. Record the results.
3. Compare the error with the specification in the Accuracy Test Setting and
Specification tables for each range to determine the pass/fail status. Record the
result.

Problem
“Battery Symbol” is displayed
“Waiting for Data” is
displayed when a probe is
plugged in.
“locked” is displayed
Cannot change INFO-CON
settings using the 9940
software or manually through
the serial port.
The instrument display is
blank when it should show
measurements.
While attempting to measure
resistance the display shows
an incorrect or erratic value.

Solution
The battery is low and needs to be changed. When this symbol appears,
the batteries should be replaced to ensure the accuracy of readings.
The instrument is unable to detect that a probe is connected. Check that a
probe with a properly programmed INFO-CON connector is attached.
The incorrect probe is attached to the unit or channel in the case of
the 1524. The meter is set to accept only the probe with the given serial
QXPEHUWRWKHVSHFL¿HGFKDQQHO$WWDFKWKHFRUUHFWSUREHRUKDYHWKH
instrument properly programmed for the new probe. See Section 3.4,
Probe Lock Function on page 25.
The pass code entered was not correct.. Note: The factory set pass
code is 1234.
Make sure the instrument has power, either from the batteries or the
AC adapter.
Verify that the initialization information appears on the display when the
power is switched on.
Check to make sure that a probe is properly connected. Check to make
sure that the INFO-CON connector is programmed properly using the
9940 software.
Poor or incorrect connection of the probe. A common mistake is to
connect the wires of the probe to the wrong terminals. Check the wiring
carefully (see Figure 16 on page 27).
Open, shorted, or damaged sensor or lead wires. Check the
resistance across the sensor using a handheld digital multi-meter.
Check the resistance between common pairs of leads. Check to make
sure there is no conductivity between any of the leads and the probe
sheath. Use a good-quality sensor to avoid errors caused by drift,
hysteresis, or insulation leakage.
Stem conduction error. Make sure the stem of the probe is immersed in

Electrical interference. Intense radio frequency radiation near the
thermometer or the probe can induce noise into the measurement circuits
resulting in erratic readings. Try eliminating the source of interference or
moving the thermometer to a different location.
