Fluke 87 V repair

[@ploxiln]

Coming in here late but ... the different current ranges have different shunt resistance! The lower ranges have much higher resistances, to get more precise measure of lower current. Amps mode is about 0.1 ohms, mA mode is about 1 or 2 ohms, uA mode is 100+ ohms! so when the external power resistor is 8 ohms, the mA shunt resistance will have a noticeable effect, and the uA shunt resistance will dominate the overall circuit. A good way to test is to put the meter in series with another trusted meter - current will be exactly equal, regardless of different shunt and lead resistances. Great diagnostic and repair of those current frontend diodes, btw, very nice way to recover a great but abused meter.

Thank you for comment and good point about shunt resistor !

Great repair, love it. i bought a used Fluke 87V which had this exact same problem and exact same failed components as yours. Replaced both of them and then it is healthy again like a happy puppy on my bench. 😄

[@InsideOutElectronics]

Thank you for commenting, happy you liked it!

[@SDsailor7]

Whare did you buy the components to fix it? Thank you

[@jorgenieves9787]

Awsome job! Had exactly same issue with a fluke 287 and it was same blown rectifier and diode combo 😁

[@InsideOutElectronics]

Thank you! Happy it was useful !

[@robbylehmann7110]

I did replace the fuse for sometimes, because of wrong connected wires (no warning, if switch is still in current range). Of course, the fuses are expensive, but cheaper than a repairing. After replacement some parts the acccuracy can be reduced, because we have no possibility for re-adjustments.

[@InsideOutElectronics]

This is true, re calibration requires precise gear, which I do not have :(

[@brettwest1976]

Great video,great information. Didnt realize they make a amp tester. Where did you get it? Subscribed!

[@InsideOutElectronics]

Thank you for SUB! This is multimeter they measure many parameters including Current ( Amp settings )

[@brettwest1976]

@@InsideOutElectronics I'm talking about the device you hooked up to your multimeter to test amperage.?

[@repairtech9320]

Great video, thanks. The current reading from the power supply is probably the one that is less accurate. I've had the same issue with Fluke 45 vs cheap PSU.

Good morning, I have a FLUKE 87 controller. Yesterday I measured a voltage at the output of a ballast. On the "AC voltmeter" gauge first, then on the "Ohmeter" gauge, forgetting to discharge the circuit before! The FLUKE 87 didn't like it! I now have, in the voltmeter position, 1.8VAC when I measure 230VAC and in the ohmeter the display flashes quickly and gives no value! Do you think I can repair my device? Can you tell me where to find the electronic diagram and spare parts for the FLUKE 87? Thank you for your response and for your help. Sincerely.

[@mambrake]

What do I do if my OHM is stuck on 74.9Kohm? My Voltage Ac is off by 6 volts. I have the same one you are fixing.

Nice video, I have a fluke 115 f11 flashes on screen like normal, then it shows 4 dashes ?

Thank you watching, wow, never hear about it Check this service manuals to see if there is anything there mobilemodding.info/fluke-87v-amp-ma-ua-range-repair/

Where are you getting the schematic. I have a fluke 335 clamp meter that was exposed to high voltage I am trying to fix.

[@johnlucier8572]

This is an example of someone buying a great meter and already destroying the screen by getting it cracked and then damaging the meter itself. Really cute. They are suppose t9 be repairing things with this meter and not repairing g itself.. all the years I have had Mt four flukes they are all still running with never a failure. Love these meters and they get all the care in the world from me in my investments.

Thank you for watching ! ANd I love Flukes as well :D

Nice video, I have a Fluke 289..........I need a Fluke 289 service manual...............Bro Please Link Download for schematic Fluke 289,, thank for advance

[@OctavMandru]

Good job. My only negative comment is you don't use enough flux. I even dip the braid in flux alcohol before use; the solder is pulled instantly even from ground planes and the risk to stress the PCB traces is minimal.

[@InsideOutElectronics]

Thank you for watching and thank you for good tip

What would be wrong with a fluke 83 that will not read capacitance? Everything else works great. Thanks John

[@maskinanotech]

hi sir my fluke 87 v has always short in all selection mode diode, resistance voltages what is the possible components damage?

[@InsideOutElectronics]

Thank you for watching, can you please tell me what modes are working and what are not?

[@maskinanotech]

all modes not working sir if resistance display 0.0 and the diode mode 0.0 and the buzzer on no prob inserted.

Hi my friend. I have a question, I see the meter fluctuations while you use the AC settings, is that normal in this meters.? Thanks in advance.👍🏻

[@InsideOutElectronics]

I'm looking into this, I have not forgotten about you my friend !

[@Steadyeddie100]

Hi great video👍just a quick question if I may,I have fluke 117,and the beeper is very quiet, can hardly here it now,do you think the buzzer needs replacing or there is something else going on thanks

[@InsideOutElectronics]

I think this is buzzer, or circuit connected to the buzzer.

15% is a good enough fluke tolerance

15% is quite bad if you ask me :D
