At work I used to use a Beckman 350? DMM that had 6x D cells as the power source, no annoying auto switch off, as it had a manual power switch. They are quite old though, the plastics used for the casing degrades with age, plus the risk of it being a write-off if the batteries were Duraleak. David |

And that's the meter that doesn't need APO to be turned off because it's smart enough to know when it's in use. |

If you're in the US, FLIR is having a sale right now on the DM64 for $49 with free shipping: https://www.flir.com/products/dm64/ Best I can tell it is the BM235, although previously it has been reported the DM66 is the BM235. The DM64 and DM66 pages on FLIR's site seem identical. |

That's a darn good deal. Update: Scanning the FLIR DM64 an Brymen BM235 manuals the only difference I noticed was the DM64 is rated up to 600V while the BM235 is rated up to 1000V. I noticed no differences between the DM64 and DM66 - not sure why there are two model numbers with two slightly very different prices. DM66 is $164, DM64 is $104 (on sale now for $50 as J-R pointed out). The Brymen warranty is 1 year, the FLIR warranty is 3 years (though the data sheet for the DM64 says "limited lifetime", which doesn't match up with the manual it seems the datasheet is a misprint or maybe old). |
