fluke 87 lcd screen factory

I was hardly able to read the numbers displayed on my Fluke 87 for the past 17 years due to the LCD display missing segments. I used this repair kit to resolve this issue within 10-15 minutes. The accompanying instructions were very thorough, accurate, helpful. I only wish I would have looked for this item years ago. I highly recommend this repair kit if your Fluke meter LCD display is fading or missing segments. It does everything as claimed and my display looks as good as new.

i noticed there"s already a thread about this Poor Fluke handheld DMM display angles but i want to make my own because this is my specific unit and the topic above is not really spot on... my unit is varying blackness across segments. those that should be ON (black) should be pure black, but some of them are just lightly grey. those that should be OFF (transparent or white) some of them are lightly greyed as well.. refer to attachment below...

story: i just received it few minutes ago all the way from an ebay USA seller sent about a month ago. he claimed it as new (open box just to put lcd protector and for testing) Manufactured/Calibrated January 2022 but the certificate to prove this is not provided in the box (unlike some of the chinese instruments that i bought earlier) i"m not sure if this is typical for Fluke product, but i never had bad experience with USA sellers that usually underrated their products in ads so i always received more than happy experience, even for used products they sell. not this time, but i wont accuse this seller for cheating, i think the presence of previous thread indicates there is some quality issue with Fluke nowadays..until proven otherwise. this is a bit of disappointment because i have a used Gossen Metrahit XTra that has the most perfect pitch black uniform contrast LCD i"ve ever seen, and my 12yrs old Uni-T 71A is not as bad, not even close as this Fluke"s "reject" LCD. i bought this Fluke just to add trustability to my measurement units and to verify the unknown state of my Gossen and the rest of my china DMMs.

battery is checked and switched with another battery to test (9-9.24V), so this is not battery weak scenario. appearance and smell is indeed like a new unit, with protective layer on LCD (i think it is from factory, not from seller, its cheap flexible plastic type). ebay seller the_e-recyclers with 5 figures rating with only a number of neutral/bad ratings, in case you know him. he offered the best price with new hard waterproof pelican case. functionalities seem fine so far, calibration state is yet to be discovered. i need to find where i"ve put my single chip reference voltage is... returning it i guess will not be beneficial in term of my cost and time, if it works fine i"ll just have to deal with it. (edit: not a single viewing angle you can find a perfect view, all angles top bottom left right will show this imperfection with just some slight varying degree of contrast) FWIW...

For a limited time, purchase the basic Fluke-87-5 multimeter and receive a TPAK meter hanging kit, ABSOLUTELY FREE! Check out the FLUKE 87-5 Promotion page for more details!

The Fluke-87-5 has improved measurement functions, trouble-shooting features, resolution and accuracy to solve more problems on motor drives, in plant automation, power distribution, and electro-mechanical equipment. The Fluke-87-5 operates very similar to the classic Fluke-87, but with more problem-solving power, safety, convenience and impact protection

The 87-5/E2KIT comes complete with the Fluke-87-5, C3 carrying case, TL224 test lead set, TP38 test probes, AC220 alligator clips, 80BK-A temperature probe, TPAK meter hanging kit and a 9V Battery.

ANSI and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) are the primary independent organizations that define safety standards for test equipment manufacturers. The IEC 61010 second edition standard for test equipment safety states two basic parameters: a voltage rating and a measurement category rating. The voltage rating is the maximum continuous working voltage the instrument is capable of measuring. The category ratings depict the measurement environment expected for a given category. Most three-phase ASD installations would be considered a CAT III measurement environment, with power supplied from either 480V or 600V distribution systems. When using a DMM for measurements on these high-energy systems, make sure it"s rated at a minimum for CAT III 600V and preferably for CAT IV 600V/CAT III 1000V. The category rating and voltage limit are typically found on the front panel, at the input terminals. Dual-rated CAT IV 600V and CAT III 1000V. Refer to the ABC"s of DMM Safety* from Fluke for additional information on category ratings and taking safe measurements.

Place the clamp around each of the output phase cables in succession, recording each of the readings as they are taken (see Figure 6). Since these clamps output 1 millivolt per amp, the millivolt readings shown on the 87-V display are the actual phase current readings in amps. This measurement would not be possible without the low pass filter (see Figure 5).

The Fluke 87V Industrial Multimeter provides the resolution and accuracy to efficiently troubleshoot motor drives, plant automation, power distribution, and electromechanical equipment - even in loud, high-energy, and high-altitude locations. The 87V is designed so you can work more efficiently.

The 87V lets you identify complex electrical problems fast. It supports accurate measurements on VFDs using a low-pass filter. The meter also captures intermittents as fast as 250 µS using Peak Capture. High-frequency, high-energy noise generated by large drive systems is blocked from your measurements with specially designed shielding.

All the inputs in the 87V are updated to the third edition of the EN 61010-1 to CAT III 1000 V and CAT IV 600 V. The meter is designed to withstand spikes of more than 8000 V. You also benefit from an audible Input Alert warning if the test leads are placed in the incorrect input jacks for the measurement being made.

The 87V has a removable holster that also holds a test probe during testing for easier viewing. Relative mode lets you remove test lead resistance, improving accuracy of low-resistance measurements. To make your life even easier, the 87V fits into an optional magnetic hanger for easy set-up and viewing while freeing your hands for other tasks.
