fluke 83 calibration

Tech Square

Technical and speculative discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

Hi all,
I have get last weekend, for my DIY work, a mint condition fluke 83 digital tester and I'm wonder if some of you know how can I calibrate this wonderfull piece. Mine are from the 1996 or 97 according to its original papers. This unit was used just a couple of times, so are realy mint, as new, but I know that maybe need to be calibrated. I have called to the local FLUKE service but they have a very absurd cost for calibration work : $115 US dollars, more than this unit cost as a second hand unit.
I have download the service manual and refers to need to do some adjustment on a pair of variable resistors, but I don't understand how I have to do the reference value to adjust. I guess that is very easy but with some directions and for sure can avoid to burn that big money.
Thanks in advance,
Beto

It is very likely that your Fluke meter is correct as it is... - Allen Wright 15:17:09 11/29/06 (0)
