Thanks for being the first to bite the bullet.
An interesting meter (or manufacturere function combination choice). Thoughts that come to mind...
- As you say, they would have been better to put the 2kV chain further inboard.
- I was assuming that they would have added some more resistance in series with the main chain rather than having a separate one. Maybe they didn't want 1kV appearing on the main input jack?
- Funny that they have only 8 resistors in the 2kV chain versus 10 in the main one - that's 275V per (1206?) resistor at full 2200 count!
- I wonder what the voltage rating of that PTC is- although they have excluded the 2kV jack from the cat rating.
- It's amusing that the display goes red at 1900V... Because that's where things get interesting, right?
Thanks for the first look!
P.S. I wonder if they have done anything different with the switch contact spacing?
