Is not the same with the Fluke 5x-II series of thermometers too? From what I got in old newsgroups - https://sci.electronics.design.narkive.com/qh8BODEw/fluke-54-ii-thermometer-ir-port


--- Quote from: John Doe ---https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R23T1IHGHG43CS/

"I highly recommend purchasing the flukeview forms package - you need to make
sure you get the IR receiver designed for the 187 meter and not the 189 meter
(they changed specs in between those two) - the 54 and the 187 use the same
sensor so IF YOU HAVE A 187 FLUKEVIEW FORMS KIT, YOU ARE READY TO GO WITH THE
54 THERMAL METER OUT OF THE BOX."

--- Quote from: Cydrome Leader ---Gave fluke a call today. Here's the story

- the 5x II series has different IR than the 5x II B series. They are not
compatible. They must use different IR transceiver cables. The B series must
use the USB +IR cable. The older meters must use the serial cables, which
are discontinued. The fancy software comes with the cable itself.

Although they mention on the same post said discrepancy between the 187 and the 189 using different receivers and being compatible with the 87IV.
I suppose the user just said something out of his mouth without knowing what he was saying (going by the testing masterx81 done, and I believe more on him).

I know that the 54IIB uses the normal 187/189/287/289 IR receiver REVII with the plastic adapter that is used in the 187/189, since I saw it working. But the original 54II doesn't work with that.

Are you planning in providing a BOM and schematics/PCB to be redone?

I can't see any part number. It has the 9 pin female RS-232 at one end rather than the USB A connector. I use this with an USB-RS232 adapter and it works for both the 189 and 289. The cable came with the 189. I also have the IR-USB cable that came with the 289 and it also works with both the 189 and 289.

Don't worry, the serial cable works with 89 IV true?

It works with the 189. I don't have the 89 IV that is why the question are they different?
rauldm:
Because Fluke 87 IV & 89 IV just using IrDA protocol like show in posts above. Early Flukes like 187, 189, 287 and 289, works with serial protocol, I think my IR189USB doesn't work with 87 IV.
