Fluke 289 Repair with Look Inside

In this video we take a look inside of the Fluke 289 and repair an issue with corrosion in the battery compartment and we also have to replace the strips for the Plus and Minus battery connections. This meter was given to me by Shane Welcher that has a you tube channel learning with PLC's and Automation. He is a work colleague and he is excellent at PLC and Automation training.

How to clean corroded battery terminals is going to come in useful! Thanks for showing how!

[@jdmccorful]

Very nice meter. I have a 287 that is about 17 yrs old and works great. Always enjoy.

Really good job! I swear, this Man is a Genius and can fix just about anything! * Hands Him the US Govt, and the Economy *. 😯🙄😆😂👍🤓😊

[@ThriftyToolShed]

🤣 Thanks so much for your kind comment!

[@ShaneWelcher]

Glad I could help, great work! I really liked the way everything was explained to make it simple and take it a step above and show some of the meter's features. Very helpful in repairs. Very helpful in knowing if this meter is a good fit for the task. Thanks again

[@ThriftyToolShed]

Thanks Shane!

Alkaline batteries always leaks no matter the brand, even ones that says leak proof still leaks. One of my meter corrode because of leakage about 17 years ago and ever since i use dielectric grease in the contacts on every meter i own so no more corrosion, and also every few years check your device if you don’t use it that often. This was easy but sometimes when the contacts connect to the pcb it requires extra work.

Is that acid brush metal? I cut the standard hair brushes down to stiffen mine, but have never seen one made of metal. I've never used a 289 thanks Shane for donating it. Great video. Thumbing- Up 👍

[@ThriftyToolShed]

I did use an acid brush that I cut down to make it stiffer exactly as you mentioned with the vinegar. Then with the IPA I used the blue double sided brush with the stainless steel on one end to help in final clean up. It is also anti-static so I will use it with boards with corrosion as well. I do have a link to a similar brush in the comments as well. Thanks for your kind comment!
