Problem with old Fluke Scopemeter

mudz
mudz over 5 years ago

Today, I received my most awaited thing of this year... After a long long journey it finally reach me.. Hehe ..  enough with suspense talk..

Few months ago like 5 months.. I bid for a scopemeter on ebay. This was the first time I did bidding thing. Okay, what stupid thing I did now...  Alright, Bidding shot up to almost double and I ended up buying this Fluke 123 Scopemeter which has a line on the display image  image

Now after being stuck to customs for almost four months due to no invoice, I finally got the parcel and paid 40% custom duty. image

This thing cost me fortune I could have purchased a nice 2 channel oscilloscope. Stupid me.. (probably till now shabaz will be thinking, this guy is idiot I warned him many times before but he doesn't even listen).. image

Now, this meter is not turning on, I believe after 5 months of no activity battery is probably dead. So I thought to charge it first. There is always a but.. When I checked its adaptors output voltage it is 22.3 volts when it should be 15 volts.

Anyone already has this scopemeter? Should I charge it with it? ebay sender told me it was working when he send me the item, but did not about voltages.

    Is this a "heavy" wall-wart adapter? I suspect it might be a regular unregulated linear power supply. With old fashioned linear power supplies which are *unregulated*, the voltage will approximate the…

    Never used it much, and haven't for more than 15 years. It's just not good enough (50MHz, not much memory) for the kind of work I mainly do - so I often end carrying a bench scope about. Got it from where…

    You've got a modern flashy one !

     

    Mine is a PM97 made by Philips (before Fluke bought the Scopemeter line from them).

     

    Don't know exactly how old but the calibration sticker is dated 2002 !

     

    I haven't used it for a zillion years.

     

    It still switches on - doubt if it will hold charge - but it uses 4 x C size NiCads so should be fixable.

    Got it from where I was working when I left, (officially, nobody liked it much !)
