Hi, time-nuts. I know some of you are volt-nuts, too. I just got a
Fluke 5440B DC Calibrator, which is a lovely instrument, and the
service manual on the Fluke site has parts, layout and schematic
pages out of order and/or completely missing (the operating manual
seems to be OK). I know this because I forgot I had a guard lead
hooked up to the scope and then I connected scope ground to the
isolated chassis, causing a bad smell, a couple of blown fuses, and
an unknown to me (so far) failure. In troubleshooting, I discovered
the sad mess of the manual Fluke provides for free download. In one
of the pages that is there, in BOLD CAPS it says not to do what I
did....
I checked with all the usual suspects on-line and no pdf book that I
know to be good is available. There is a hard copy original available
for $175, but I think that's a bit much. If any of you have one or
know of one I can copy, or one in pdf, I would be *most* glad to have
it.
Best,
Dick Moore
