KungFuJosh:
In case anybody cares, the fan in the TH2830 isn't quiet. It's a lower pitch, but sounds about as loud as the fan in my SDS2504XP. I feel like getting quieter fans for both devices. I don't have a real dB meter yet, so I haven't tested actual levels.

If you feel the TH2830 fan is loud, don't consider a Hioki IM3536, it sounds like a jet engine :P

Best,

That fan noise is part of it's $5000 charm, right? If it came with a $20 quiet fan, they'd have to charge an extra $1000. 😉

Hm...AFAIK my hioki didn´t have a fan...

Tonghui/Sourcetronic:
Our ST2830 went back from external calibration, could upload the cal.-report(of course without names/adresses) when it´s interesting.

This is normal too!! You would think at that price point Hioki would have "paid" more attention to the fan noise  |O

Can you imagine if Siglent or Rigol had something this expensive with that level of fan noise, "fan" boys and girls would have a field day with them!!

However it is 80 times higher frequency (8MHz vs 100KHz) than the TH2830, so guess they needed to use some higher power consumption components (probably expensive too) and thus the higher thru-put fan, and a much more difficult design task!!

Anyway, not happy about the Hioki fan noise, but otherwise it's a superb performer. It's earned it's keep, because when we needed those higher frequency measurements, they needed to be spot on and the Hioki delivered :-+
