[volt-nuts] Fluke 8502A

[Rob Klein]

Steve,

Well, that's quite something different than what I understood from your 
first post, where you were talking
about "step 3" in the manual. But clearly, since you now say it 
recognises the firmware version and modules,
then proceeds to display some -erroneous- value, something else is going on.

You should go through the procedure and take a turn at step 4, rather 
than 3. This leads you to step 59
(or at least it does in my version of the manual (rev 1 7/81). Since 
you've already established that the supply
voltages are in spec and since you do not have the mythical 
Interconnect-Monitor PCB, I would follow
the steps from 70 onwards, to check all the analogue modules. If those 
are OK, you most probably have
a defective isolator.

Good luck!

Rob.
