| Metrix MX56C / BK Precision 5390 Multimeter Teardown |
| << < (15/18) > >> |

- Got it wrong, original 10M was only 0.25W.... but I ordered an 500mW one, oh well, can't harm I guess, and it still fits in the enclosure so all is well. - That Weller PCB stand came in quite handy to solder the 10M resistor on to the board. - Soldering the RF shield back on. |
| Vince:
- Now we can put the meter back together again at last - the 55 and 53C checking each other... - The 53C measuring duty-cycle spot on from the old function gen. - A complete and brand new MX 53C, with full calibration data and still the protective strip on the LC window, what more could one dream of ?! |
| Vince:
Mini comparative tear-down of the 53C vs the 54/55/56 : - soldered RF shield replace by a foil in the back cover - all the RMS related circuitry has disappeared from the back side of the main board - as well as all the current shunt and analog switch of the mA ranges, on the top side of the PCB. - potted precision network/divider had been replaced by a more modern ceramic substrate as we commonly find on the Fluke meters - Quite a bit of corrosion on the negative terminal of the battery, but it cleaned up just fine, the PCB lower down, was still in good shape. |
| Vince:
Is it possible to have TOO MANY MX50s meters ?! I don't know... Aren't they cute, keeping each-other warm ?! :-) I just happen to really love them ! LOL |

PS. Modemhead did all the modifications, without schematics too ;), on this meter. :-+ |
