| Fluke 83V vs 87V - Spot The Differences! |
| << < (4/5) > >> |
| BeBuLamar:
Fluke keeps the 83V in production (they don't have the 85V) not for people who doesn't want to pay the price of the 87V but for people who don't want true RMS. Fluke priced them about the same price. So it makes no sense trying to make the 83V to be the 87V. |

Most users probably don't care though, 6000 counts and 0.1% is plenty accurate for most jobs. |

To save money you would go to the 17x series. |

Getting 87V firmware should be mission impossible, trying to save money by buying an 83V and converting it to 87V is a waste of life, except for fun. :popcorn: --- End quote --- As I see from your picture, the rotary knob of the meter does not have the little arrow painted in white. Is this common? I've seen another meter these days and I've thought it might be a knock off. |
