Keithley 2010 Preliminary Porn

<< < (3/4) > >>

chickenHeadKnob:
Is it really the same analogue multi-slope AD board (or section) in all of 2001, 2002. 2010 ? This would imply possible home uprating on 2001's hmm....

Noticed in one of TiN's reveals they were using OP177's, not a bad op amp but I thought there might be better now-a-days.

Thank you for the pics

Update, finally back (received March 28th) from Keithley!

This is my first cal process outside of the corporate environment.  It took two rounds with Keithley to even get a cal quote, first one came back as a quote for a new 2010!  Anyhow, here is the breakdown:

Calibration std price:  $315, Optional Data: $65, $180 for a firmware update and $12.50  return shipping.  I had no personal reason for the data, just thought it might be of some interest to others here.  From the documentation I knew there was at min 6 newer firmware revisions, so I opted for the latest.

Keithley received the meter on March 10th.  On March 18th I received an email stating the meter was "noisy" and required repair with a new quote:

Repair with Cal: $1120, Optional Data: $65 and $12.50 return shipping.  It would have cost me the $180 and $12.50 to have them simply return it without repair.  Note this is total, not in addition to the above first cal quote.

For those interested in what a "noisy" Keithley 2010 with a 14 year old cal reads:



I tested the meter thoroughly before sending in for cal, but I'm not going to call them out, I am for the most part satisfied with how to went.  The repair included an entirely new board, rubber keyboard membrane, and I'm pretty sure VFD.  A lot of good those new caps did me, ha ha.

Summary:

Used 2010 for: $1000
New PS Caps: ~$30
Repair/Cal total: $1197.50

In total about 2/3s of a new unit.

Thanks for the update, it is interesting to note the ranges that it failled.

TiN:
Thanks for data, interesting to find lots of values in 8.5 digit mode. None of my 2001's data cal have even 7.5 there.

180$ for replacing ROM chip with firmware? Wow :)
I had mine 2001 replaced for free, no cost increase.

Do you know what was repaired?
From cost it would look like they replaced whole board maybe.

Yup, the 2010 is a single board aside from the VFD.  The board was for-sure replaced and I think they also swapped the VFD, noticeably brighter and no more soft spots around the edges of some of the characters.
