Fluke 185 Review

<< < (5/17) > >>

Hi Wytnucls,
Today I bought a second-hand Fluke 185 he looks almost new considering his age.
I could use some advice from you like:
- how to test accuracy.
- how to do to see what firmware has, and if it has been calibrated in factory.

I paid for it 250 euro w/o leads. Initially wanted a Tektronix TX3 (hard to find and more bucks for me + paint that cleans). Second option was a Brymen 867s but I had a hesitation when i see a review with many differences (accuracy) between same model BM867s. I still have a Uni-t UT70B, pretty good price and performance.
*The photos has been made of first and second (re)seller.
With special consideration,
Lucian Cernega.

Wytnucls:
For accuracy test, you will need to buy a voltage reference.
Power up with F1 depressed will show last calibration (month and year) and firmware.
(1.01 and 9977/77 on mine, which doesn't make much sense)

cluca1969:
Thank you very much for information Wytnucls. Which reference voltage do you have ?

Noise Floor:
Wonderful review, thank you.  I have had a 185 for about 8 years, still like it a lot.

Hi Noise Floor,
I'm glad to hear that about your Fluke 185. I just bought 185 a few days ago. I paid 250 euro, a little too expensive for a old Fluke model, but is MADE IN USA.
Can you tell me in a few words about this model of Fluke, information are quite a few on web. A few pros and cons you have over the years (calibration, accuracy, other problems encountered with it).
With special consideration,
Lucian Cernega.
