- Select the desired adapter (IC test adapter, extended probe tip, or alligator clip).
- Align the adapter with the tip of your TL71 or TL75 test probe.

3. Operating Instructions
Always observe safety precautions when performing electrical measurements. The Fluke TP920 Test Probe Adapter Set is rated for CAT III 300V, 3A. Do not exceed these ratings.
3.1 Using IC Test Adapters
IC test adapters are designed for precise contact with integrated circuit pins or other small terminals. Their fine tips allow for accurate measurements in confined spaces without shorting adjacent pins.
3.2 Using Extended Probe Tips
Extended probe tips provide additional reach for accessing recessed or hard-to-reach test points. Use them when standard probe tips cannot make contact.

3.3 Using Medium Alligator Clips
Medium alligator clips provide a secure, hands-free connection to terminals, wires, or components. They are ideal for situations requiring a stable connection for extended periods or when both hands are needed for other tasks. The maximum jaw opening is 7.6mm.
3.4 Safety Guidelines
- Always ensure the adapters are securely attached to your test probes before making any measurements.
- Do not use damaged adapters or probes. Inspect them before each use.
- Adhere to the maximum voltage (300V) and current (3A) ratings.
- Always follow the safety guidelines provided with your multimeter and the equipment being tested.
4. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Fluke TP920 Test Probe Adapter Set.
4.1 Cleaning
Clean the adapters regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild detergent can be used. Ensure the adapters are completely dry before storage or next use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
4.2 Storage
Store the adapters in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping them in their original packaging or a dedicated tool case can prevent damage and loss.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Fluke TP920 Test Probe Adapter Set, consider the following common solutions:
- Poor Connection: Ensure the adapter is fully seated on the test probe. Check for any debris or damage on the probe tip or inside the adapter.
- Inaccurate Readings: Verify that the adapter is clean and free from corrosion. Ensure your multimeter is functioning correctly and calibrated.
- Physical Damage: If an adapter is bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged, discontinue use immediately and replace it. Using damaged equipment can lead to inaccurate measurements or safety hazards.
