It came with a calibration sheet to show that it had been factory calibrated. The only thing I miss is the ability to read current, which can be achieved with a current shunt and some maths anyway.
#FLUKE METERS MANUAL#
It was chosen because it could do manual ranging as well as auto-ranging and had Sigrok support if I want it. I have a Keysight multimeter which I bought to replace a Digitech-branded meter that broke down (basically a part on the rotary switch broke… one of these days I’ll raid the filament at HSBNE for a replacement part). Posted in Tool Hacks Tagged aneng, fluke, multimeter Post navigation The cheap meters are certainly good enough, even though you do get what you pay for, as you might expect.Īs long as you have a meter open, you might as well hack it to have WiFi. Of course, if you don’t have a few hundred volts running through your meter, it probably doesn’t matter.
The Fluke also has a significantly larger number of protection devices and heftier components, you presume can take more punishment. The Fluke also has a proper rotary switch, while the cheap meter has a switch that is etched on the PC board a cost-cutting trick that’s often a point of failure on these cheap meters. In addition, the Fluke has an internal case that helps keep you away from live voltage. The initial opening shows that the Fluke has hefty brand name fuses, but the Aneng has little generic fuses. For comparison, he opens up a Fluke 26-III and an Aneng AN870 (retailing at about $500 and $30, respectively). When talks about cheap meters, he always says, “If you are doing this for a living, get yourself a Fluke.” But he realized he’s never shown the inside of a Fluke meter, so he rectified that in his most recent post.
