• Fluke-3540 Power Monitors
• 173x Series Power Loggers

Affected cables are marked with date codes between 21-04 and 21-11. The date code is shown on two imprinted date wheels on the moulded plastic clip over the cables. The first wheel shows a two-digit year code and the second wheel shows a month number.
Some cables will have a code including a manufacturer code, a two-digit month and a two-digit year printed on the longer end of the L1/A cord instead of the imprinted date wheels. Cables with a code on the L1/A cord are being recalled.
Why the product is recalled
The black moulded plastic insulators covering the neutral connecting terminals can be brittle and may crack. If cracked, it may expose the user to an electrical current. If cracks spread, it may lead to further damage and expose the connector’s metal parts and allow direct contact with the user.
What the hazards are to consumers
There is a risk of serious injury or death from electric shock.
What consumers should do
Consumers should stop using the product immediately.
Check the date code to see if the cable is affected. If the date code is illegible or missing, contact Fluke for more information.
Consumers with affected cables should cut the cable in half to make it unusable and register for a free replacement on the recall webpage.
For more information, consumers can visit the recall webpage, phone 1300 135 853 or email ordersanz@fluke.com.
