Hello,
I've just bought a FLuke 289 brandnew 2016 version. Upon unpacking and testing it I found 2 issues which are very dissapointed.
Issue 1:
The glass screen seem to be defective. It has a swirly pattern and if yoy move back and forth, the pattern dances, which is very annoying to look at (much worse in person).
Question: Fluke 289 owners, does yours exhibit this issue?
Issue 2:
When measuring ohm with alligator clips, as I touched the "hold" button, the reading changed as much as 2 ohms either up or down then settled back to original reading. So, for example, if my reading was 21 ohms, as I touched the Hold button, it might give a different reading whatever it chose, not 21 ohms. This reading change also happens in milliVolts by as much as 100mV
Question: Is this normal? I didn't expect a Fluke 289 to do this. I don't see this issue on a Brymen 869s
Is this particular unit defective or all 289s do this? If so, i might need to find another meter.
Thanks all
