Re: [time-nuts] Fluke monitor
Considering that there are two main components in the display, it could be either the microcontroller, the LCD display, or the cabling between the two. I am not sure what you mean by swishing, but if shaking it fixes the problem, even momentarily, it may be as simple as a cold solder joint. It could also be temperature related.

[time-nuts] Fluke 8502A
Hi, I apologize if this is not a legitimate request for this group. But does anyone have experience repairing one of these? I have two and neither works. The first one lights up, but with random digits on the display. I picked up the second hoping to get some spare parts, but almost all of the boards are marked BAD, which they appear to be. Neither was a good ebay experience. I downloaded a service manual, but it quickly asks for some kind of diagnostic plug-in board, which I do not have. Is this thing fixable or should I toss it? Thanks for your patience.

[time-nuts] Fluke monitor
I mean when I remove the power from the monitor and let it cool down the after about 1Hrs it starting to work again normal, the later on displaying garbled msg.. like something is overheating?? Fluke.L has sold 2 versions of the monitor. one works on 5VDC while the other has a 78M05 regulator and requires approximately 9 to 12 volts to operate. It would help to know which of these you have and what you are using for a power supply. If you bought your display about 5 months ago then it is probably one designed for +5V. The display this unit uses is a HY-2002A-803. The pinout for the display connector can be found at: http://www.ciahk.net/upload/docs/HY-2002A.pdf Check for the +5 on the correct pin of the display. if you have the correct voltage the problem could well be a parts failure on either the display or the daughter board. -Arthur ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
