Instrument Compatibility
The i430-Flexi-TF-II can only be used with the
Fluke 433/434/435/434-II/435-II/437-II Power Quality Analyzers.
Maximum measurement range on all models: 6000 A. Minimum
measurement range on Fluke 433/434/435: 30 A.
Using the i430-Flexi-TF-II
To use the i430-Flexi-TF-II, follow these instructions:
1. Connect the BNC connector of the i430-Flexi-TF-II to the desired
input on the Fluke 430 series Power Quality Analyzer.

2. Connect the flexible probe around the conductor (See Figure 1.)
3. Center the conductor perpendicularly inside the flexible probe
area. If this is not possible, an additional measurement error of
±2 % of reading can occur. See Electrical Specifications.
4. Avoid taking measurements close to other current-carrying
conductors if possible.
5. Make sure that the arrow marked on the probe coupling points
toward the correct orientation for correct phase display on the
instrument. See also the setup screen of the instrument.
6. Keep the probe coupling more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) away from
the conductor.
7. Observe the current value and waveform on the instrument’s
display.
8. Observe the safety instructions when applying and using the
i430-Flexi-TF-II.
 Warning
If the selected current probe of the Fluke 430 series
Power Quality Analyzer is not the i430 Flex (on Fluke
430 series I) or i430-Flexi-TF-II (on Fluke 430 series II),
the Fluke 430 will display false and misleading
readings.
Maintenance
Before each use, assure continued safety by inspecting the flexible
probe and its latching system for any damage. Pay particular attention
to the insulation surrounding the flexible probe. An i430-Flexi-TF-II
under warranty will be promptly repaired or replaced (at Fluke's
discretion) and returned at no charge.
 Warning
To prevent possible electrical shock, fire, or personal
injury:
• Remove the input signals before you clean the
Product.
• Have an approved technician repair the Product.
Cleaning and Storage
• The flexible probe and its latching system require no special
care. Ensure that no foreign body obstructs the latching
mechanism.
• Clean the i430-Flexi-TF-II with a damp cloth and a mild
detergent. Do not use abrasives, solvents, or alcohol.
If your i430-Flexi-TF-II does not work
If the i430-Flexi-TF-II does not perform properly, use the following
steps to help isolate the problem:
• Inspect the coupling system for any damage. If any foreign
material is present, the coupling system will not close properly
and errors will result.
• Inspect the cable between the flexible probe and the Power
Quality Analyzer for any damage.
• Check if the i430-Flexi-TF-II is the selected current probe on the
Power Quality Analyzer (Clamp i430-Flexi-TF-II).
• Verify that the function and range selection on the Power Quality
Analyzer is correct.
