Fluke 189 with leaking surface mount supercap (also Fluke 287, Fluke 289)
<< < (61/64) > >>
serggio:
Three years ago I replased leaked cupercap in my Fluke 287 on Elna DSK-3R3H224U-HL. It still working well and keep time on my meter for four hour. That is enought for recharging Eneloop batteries that I use with my meter. Eneloop is really cool solution for power this meter.
I do not see that supercaps is real issue.

Hi, I have a 289 rev 15, the fucking meter works very good, but it has corrosion on cap 145, Fluke says in its web site, the 42830001 series it comes with new firmware "1.41", and all meters with  lower serial numbers can't update to this firmware, I supposed the new Fluke, it comes with new PCB board and general improvements, someone knows about this? the cap leakage is solved? another good meter with same features? I have the u1282a, but is slow in cap and ohm modes, the metrawatt is good option? or only is stupid expensive?
Regards.

I have a Fluke 289 with FW v1.41 and the serial starts with 3826####.  My 289 was sent in for repair for the low ohms fade issue in January 2019.  Fluke replaced the board and calibrated the unit prior to shipping it back.  I asked about the supercap issue in the original work order and was told that is was no longer a problem.

The first board with ohms issues, do you know what revision number was?
Your new board you know what revision is?
if Fluke puts new firmware from 42830001 meter series I think your new board is last revision.

Really I searched another sustitute for this meter, but I think another meter is not gathed all features for same price range.

Thanks for your answer, really I like this meter, I have 87v,28ii and 117, but this meter for me is better than others, even my others meter are just complement for my 289.

In the meter info screen, the Board ID was 3 and was built on 6-26-10 with FW v1.16 / v.88.

My replacement Board ID is 5, built on  11-28-17 with FW v1.41 / v.88.

I noticed on the RMA that the serial # remained the same.  Fluke probably just updated the number in the board for administrative purposes.

Service was fantastic from Fluke. One email and a phone call to resolve the defect.  I bought my meter used on ePray for a great price and Fluke covered it under warranty. No hassles, new meter with calibration certificate.  Can't beat that.

Yikes!  I just realized the same info you requested is in a previous post #299 by me.  My memory is failing...
