Keithley 6485/6487 teardown
plesa:
I found on my cell phone few internal photos of Keithley 6487.
It is quite similar to the 6485 ( without +/- 500V voltage source - bottom board and second transformer).
The front end contains LMC662, LMC6081. Voltage reference is LM399H.
Sorry for poor quality.

Hello, do you remember please whether those white EE2 relays are for range switching ?
Thank you

Yes, based on clicking it is used for range switching. And electrometers 6514 and 6517 are using similar relays to Meder HI series.
razberik:
These HI Meder looks good. It is comfortable to deal with Meder ... in my native language, they manufacture some series in Prague.
Today I got a good chance to do some brief teardown. I attach pics.
It surprise me that they dont use better relays, but literally jelly-bean relays. :o
razberik:
Today I was given a task to test resistivity of some materials. I was climbing with voltage from few volts to few hundreds of volts. Then suddenly relays started to clicking and OV.RFLOW:A showed on display. Totally bricked. Changing ranges does nothing.
Exactly the same behavior like this:

Any tip what to do ?
