I've got a fluke 117 with the magnetic strap and the decent leads with the adjustable tips

 

[bassmonster]

Kb, can the 117 measure temperature too?

 

[Ermintrude]

This one does http://bit.ly/OtpCnl
It's a lovely bit of kit, but I use my Anton as a thermometer - it's actually good for something!

 

[bassmonster]

Ermintrude, i it take you're not a fan of Anton analysers? apart from checking the flue gases, i found carrying a let-by and tightness test on my evo3 to a be a pain in the butt....uselss feature in my opinion...nothings beats a regular uguage....(sorry, going off topic there)

the price difference between the 114 and 117 doesn't seem to be so far apart...the 117 does have more features but i'm just wondering are they features that i'll need?

The Fluke 116 is the HVAC multimeter and can do millivolts and microamps for diagnostics on ionisation etc..

Regarding the PCB checking flame presence, does the board just want to see a voltage dropout on the ionisation circuit.....so you'd select mV or μV and look for the on off switching ( assuming the current flows ) ??

Prob a question best to ask in the gas safe only forum. Join up.

[Ermintrude]

[buckley plumb]

[Ermintrude]

How many penny's you want?

 

[Ermintrude]

Or 4kg bosh sds? 110v or mystery prize?

 

[buckley plumb]

on ebay for varying prices from £100 to £200 plus about £120 is fair but would prefer collection knowing my luck lately royal mail would loose it

 

[Ermintrude]

Jesus thats cheap!!!!! Is it really any good??

Ditto! Does it do the millivolts or what ever it is you check ionisation probes with

 

[Chris F]

I've just ordered one off eBay. I just read a load of reviews on it and it seems legit, apparently build quality aint to good and there is no back light but for 18 quid with free delivery it was worth a punt

Yes ;-)

You won't regret it! The build quality is fine, I'm not one for looking after stuff hence why I won't spend a lot of money and mines fine!
