Brymen 257S lost calibration data

(1/9) > >>

Sjokolade:
Turned on my 257s today and noticed the low battery warning, the meter turned itself on/off a few times so I replaced the both batteries.
Display now shows a 'C_Er' error for a second or two every time I turn meter on.

As the meter has been mostly unused I tought the low battery warning was weird, got my old fluke 12 and both batteries measure 1.5V.
Putting back the old batteries meter works as normal except the 'C_Er' error.

Brymens manual says


--- Quote ---Calibration
Periodic calibration at intervals of one year is recommended to maintain meter accuracy. Accuracy
is  specified  for  a  period  of  one  year after calibration.  If  self-diagnostic  message  “C_Er” is  being
displayed while powering on, some meter ranges might be largely out  of  specifications.  To  avoid
mis-leading measurements, stop using the meter and send it for re-calibration. Refer to the LIMITED
WARRANTY section for obtaining warranty or repairing service.

Bought it from Tme 1.1.2015 - sent them a mail and hope the warrany covers calibration error.

Anyway to rescue it without shipping it abroad ?

Wytnucls:
That meter is obviously defective and TME should replace it at their expense. Hurry up as the warranty expires after 12 months.
Might be worth contacting Brymen if TME plays hardball.

Lightages:
I agree with Wytnucls. Get it replaced. It should not have lost its calibration data like that. TME should replace it.

EEVblog:
Very that it lost it's cal data, never heard of that happening before, and this is a very popular meter.

Lightages:
Yeah, the number of times I have heard of someone having a problem with a Brymen in 5 years, twice now maybe?
