Fluke 1663 MFT Advice

Hello

My fluke, intermittently gives a meassage ' batter lo 'indication when running low resistance continuity test (and doesn't then run the test) with a long lead and  when not zeroed ie continuity reading over a couple of ohms. The test current can toggle between 250mA or I think it's 20mA. It's fine at the lower current. The batteries are not flat. It's not the long lead as it's been tried with a new one and it does the same, Other leads have been changed, swapped etc and I'm sure it's the meter itself. Can't get any sense out of fluke technical.  It's done it from new. 2 years old and calibrated every year.  Anyone know why it might do this?  What are the quality of test result implications if I have  to use the lower current setting for doing the higher resistance readings

Driving me nuts and any help gratefully received

Thanks

  • If you need a primary cell that droops as little as possible under stress or when cold, things based on the lithium 1.5V cells  (example) are some of the best, far better than the  equivalent alkaline, that in turn is much better than the cheapy carbon zinc.


    The price difference is marked, but then so is performance under load . (see the links for some data for the AA sizes of all 3 chemistries to compare.)
