  • I have been given a fluke 189 series 1 that has been flashed with 20KV by a prat who did not know what he was doing.

    It has fryed the first series resistor in series with the V terminal.

    Does anyone know the value please?

  • @simonspiers That is most likely a special fusible resistor

  • It's Fluke 287 eqivalent, not 289. 289 has LowZ and LowOhm.

  • Have you reviewed the Fluke 175? I have one and LOVE IT!! Been a great workhorse beside my 8050A and 8060A.

  • Have you reviewed the Fluke 175? I have on and love it. Auto-ranging, No hidden menus, DCV, ACV, DCA, ACA, Ohms, Cap, Frequency, Diode check, ... I love mine, haven't held a cell phone next to it yet, LOL.

    Of course, I still love my Fluke 8050A for the reason I can "zero" my probes for small ohm readings. Very Acurate. I also have the bench version, 8060A.

  • i have owned both the 189 version 1, and i now own the 289 fvf2 kit. I actually prefer having the aa batteries being i usually don't carry the 9v batteries on my service truck. Also, i like the menu layout seems to work better for me. As for the battery life i happily give up some battery life to get the data logging. I am just looking forward to when you can log more than one field at a time. Also i think you missed the fact the 289 has a lifetime warranty.

  • Hello Dave,

    I just solarized  a FLUKE 189 multimeter at my web7days.com at youtube.com any comment?

  • @crippled82 A 289 for $180 sound very cheap indeed.

  • @superfootdan

    Is it also good for small electronics?

    I can get a 2nd handed 289 for $180

  • @EEVblog Thanks, well it is with 20KV across it. Found the value its a 100K high power job so with try it tomorrow and see if it works correctly. Great reviews by the way thanks again.
