Fluke Multi Testers

[pete555]

surely if they were such a problem they would at least mention the model numbers?

got to agree all us users need to know if certain one,s are causing problems

when i was at college there was one thing i found out about flukes.

there very fussy about batteries, the screen starts disappearing etc when battery starts getting a little low.

so changing battery brings it back to normal

i have a fluke 1651b multifunction tester which at the moment has been fine ,although when the batteries are low it does start to play up last time it wouldnt let me null my leads i changed the battery and it was fine.

If the batteries drop below 6 volt that is what happens. I use Duracell and they last ages.

They did that because they knew you were right about Fluke compared to Megger.

I have had three multi testers so far and found them unreliable!
They are over priced and over rated!
I will be going back to Meggar, tried and tested!

I agree. The Multi Function Testers are very unreliable. Had endless problems in several i have used. I find all of the other Fluke meters eg Voltage tester, multi meters all ok
