They don't have meters made for them by other companies, or they do and you have a detailed list of Fluke products not to buy? |

Also that meter was not made or claimed to be made for (Ex) environment, which a coal mine would be (both coal dust and methane risk). That is wrong example... In that case not even Fluke would be a good brand, but only certified (Ex) models. --- End quote --- I don't see any mention of mistakes by the tech--what are you referring to? I also don't know for sure what meter rating would be required in that particular place. I don't know MSHA regulations and if they do require ATEX-type meters in that location, then apparently the 11060S model in question doesn't meet that rating. However, this doesn't appear to be an explosive atmosphere accident, but rather a water intrusion problem in an IP67-rated meter. So even if the meter was being used in an area that it should not have, the defect (water intrusion) would still be the root cause of the accident. It would be a much messier legal case, though. |

I've got cheapo noname Chinese meters older than that. I've gpt a Radio Shack meter that I bought in the 1980s that still works perfectly. |

I never like buying something from a company that doesn't make the products. --- End quote --- That is quite a stark stance. Fluke and Philips had quite the partnership for quite a long time. Perhaps you should start considering Zotek as well? :-DD --- Quote from: Monkeh on December 25, 2022, 01:52:04 pm --- --- Quote from: BeBuLamar on December 25, 2022, 01:50:14 pm --- --- Quote from: Monkeh on December 25, 2022, 01:47:26 pm --- --- Quote from: BeBuLamar on December 25, 2022, 01:22:44 pm ---I guess I don't know Brymen because they are not sold in the US.

Why, then, are they the biggest receiver of Brymen shipments in the US? https://www.importgenius.com/suppliers/brymen-technology-corporation https://www.eevblog.com/forum/repair/dead-brymen-bm869s/msg3606703/#msg3606703 I'm sure they just import thousands of meters a month, including ones with their own model numbers on, for evaluation. --- End quote --- That can't be, right? Brymen has no track record in the professional segment - their only 20+ year track record is with hobbyists and curious people... |
