Fluke 1651b

Hi all,
My fluke tester has just started giving funny readings on continuity I.e 72 ohms for open circuit. I've checked it on my check box and they are all out apart from zero....
Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem??
Looks like ill be sending it off tomorrow lol
Thank in advance
Rich

wouldn't have thought you'd have any hassle with Fluke in getting a replacement. how long you had it?

I had trouble nulling my r2 lead for a while but it seems to have sorted itself, was ok at calibration last week. Most of our test kit is Fluke though and as dan86 says - they are pretty good customer care wise.

Check your batteries are at full charge, check your test leads are not damaged, check there is not dirt in the test lead sockets (leads and MFT). Then see if it is working OK, if not then back it goes.

Thank you all! I have looked over the tester and everything works apart from on continuity.... So must be an internal fault. Back to fluke I go! Thanks for your help
