    Fluke 83 87 & 88 DMM safety notice

    Don't think I've seen this on here already. If it is then sorry for the duplicate. Fluke have issued a safety notice on the 83, 87 and 88 series DMMs. A fault could result in a false no voltage reading. It was announced back in December but I've only just got to hear about it.
