Fluke 189 with leaking surface mount supercap (also Fluke 287, Fluke 289)

<< < (35/64) > >>

Marvin:
Here you go. I  bought the cable too and changed the owner name if you are wondering if it came like that - nope.

BravoV:
Marvin, thanks for the photos, looks legit to me, and its also has the latest firmware too.  :-+

Pretty sure its also came with the Fluke's factory calibration paper that has the exact date printed as in your meter info, right ? Example from my 287 -> HERE.

Well, at least you still have quite some time before the cap start to poo  :P since its quite new, congratulation, enjoy that good DMM.

PS : Suggesting NOT to use alkaline cells as it will leak as it happened to mine  >:(, good NiMH cells work just fine like Eneloop.

Marvin:
Yes, just like that. Only added LoZ and LoOhm measurements. Date/serial matches.

casinada:
Interesting that yours shows 96% memory like other people reported. Mine shows 100% but I think I have the supercap problem since it loses the date and time each time I change batteries. It also drains batteries fast until it shows only two bars and then stays there (have eneloops now). I don't know if a problem supercap increases current drain :(

Yes, a shorted cap will contribute to battery drain.  Mine would be completely dead in about a week without use on Alkaline batts.
