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 agreater or different warranty on behalf of Fluke. Warranty support is available only if product is purchased through a Fluke authorized sales outlet orBuyer has paid the applicable international price. Fluke reserves the right to invoice Buyer for importation costs of repair/replacement parts whenproduct 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 productwhich 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 tothat 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 causedby neglect, misuse, contamination, alteration, accident, or abnormal condition of operation or handling, including overvoltage failures caused by useoutside the product’s specified rating, or normal wear and tear of mechanical components, Fluke will provide an estimate of repair costs and obtainauthorization before commencing the work. Following repair, the product will be returned to the Buyer transportation prepaid and the Buyer will bebilled 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.

1507/1503Insulation TestersIntroductionThe Fluke model 1507 and model 1503 arebattery-powered insulation testers (hereafter, "theTester"). Although this manual describes the operation ofboth Models 1507 and 1503, all illustrations andexamples assume use of model 1507.These Testers meet CAT IV IEC 61010 standards. TheIEC 61010 standard defines four measurementcategories (CAT I to IV) based on the magnitude ofdanger from transient impulses. CAT IV Testers aredesigned to protect against transients from the primarysupply level (overhead or underground utility service).The Tester measures or tests the following: AC / DC VoltageInsulation Resistance Earth-Bond ResistanceContacting FlukeTo contact Fluke, call:1-888-993-5853 in USA1-800-363-5853 in Canada 31-402-678-200 in Europe 81-3-3434-0181 in Japan 65-738-5655 in Singapore 1-425-446-5500 from anywhere in the worldVisit Fluke's web site at: www.fluke.comRegister your Tester at: register.fluke.com1
1507/1503Users ManualSafety InformationUse the Tester only as specified in this manual. Otherwise, the protection provided by the Tester may be impaired. SeeTable 1 for a list of symbols used on the Tester and in this manual.A XWWarning identifies hazardous conditions and actions that could cause bodily harm or death.A XWCaution identifies conditions and actions that could damage the Tester, the equipment under test, or causepermanent loss of data.XWWarningTo avoid possible electric shock or personal injury, follow these guidelines: 2Use the Tester only as specified in this manual or the protection provided by the Tester might beimpaired.Do not use the Tester or test leads if they appear damaged, or if the Tester is not operating properly. Ifin doubt, have the Tester serviced.Always use the proper terminal, switch position, and range for measurements before connecting Testerto circuit under test.Verify the Tester’s operation by measuring a known voltage.Do not apply more than the rated voltage as marked on the Tester, between the terminals or betweenany terminal and earth ground.Use caution with voltages above 30 V ac rms, 42 V ac peak, or 60 V dc. These voltages pose a shockhazard.Replace the battery as soon as the low battery indicator (b) appears.Disconnect circuit power and discharge all high-voltage capacitors before testing resistance,continuity, diodes, or capacitance.Do not use the Tester around explosive gas or vapor.When using the test leads, keep your fingers behind the finger guards.
Insulation TestersSafety Information Remove test leads from the Tester before opening the Tester case or battery door. Never operate theTester with the cover removed or the battery door open.Comply with local and national safety requirements when working in hazardous locations.Use proper protective equipment, as required by local or national authorities when working inhazardous areas.Avoid working alone.Use only the replacement fuse specified or the protection may be impaired.Check the test leads for continuity before use. Do not use if the readings are high or noisy.Table 1.

Rotary switchselections are shown in Figure 1 and described in Table 2.Battery Saver (Sleep Mode)The Tester enters the “Sleep mode” and blanks thedisplay if there is no function change or button press for10 minutes. This is done to conserve battery power. TheTester comes out of Sleep mode when a key is pressed orwhen the rotary switch is turned.The
