The 10 main board works fine in the 12, except the V Check function is inoperative. There is a small cap to remove and enable the V Check. I did it in mine and it works fine. I don't have the documentation anymore, but I think it's near the corner of the board near the main processor. and sets option for the processor. I'll see if I can find the info. You can compare the 10 board to the 12 and maybe see the deleted chip cap for the 12. The 11 main board should work fine in the 12.
Took me a long time before I released my fluke 11 was the same as 12. When replacing the zebra connectors. They just covered the button over. I'll cut a hole in mine to use Max min. Plastic casing of mine has fallen apart over the years but still a quick reliable meter.
Nice video, thanks! I was wondering if somehow the accuracy could be improved with today’s components…. Have been looking at the service manual, but could not identify any differences between model 10 and 11/12 on used resistor specs.. not even the Z1 resistor network is differentiated between the models. Anybody knows where the difference is?
Thank you for the reply. According to the service manual, the Fluke 10 would have a bit lower accuracy globally: for VDC for example it is 1.5% vs. 0.9% for model 11 and 12 but I can’t see differences in the components that would justify any difference in the service manual.
Nice comparsion, but... Why didn't you set the same environment for all three multimeters at the same time? It would be much easier to monitor the values of all three multimeters at once. They are from the same manufacturer, very similar models, so any error in input values would be equally reflected on all three multimeters.
The multimeters are calibrated for the 10M Ohm impedance, when 3 in parallel you have 3M Ohm.. so all 3 could show a lower value. also it is more a model introduction then a review. Hope you enjoyed anyway. Tony
@@TonyAlbus Yes, I am aware of the parallel resistance issue, but the value reading there does not depend on the (practically the same) multimeters, but on the source (and its output impedance/resistance). All three will eventually read same lower values if process meter isn't good enough. I'm not trying to discredit your work, I'm just pointing out the possibilities of a simpler presentation for us viewers. :)

Thanks Mark, Yes i forgot to test that indeed, good one

Thanks, yes i have seen more pictures from people \, drilling holes and just pushing the none existing buttons and use all the option :) smart!
Always thought they must be similar inside, so interesting to see! Nice explanation and video :)
Thank you Stephen!
Big fan of the 16 here! You going to pick up one of those?
Hi! .. have not found one affordable..but looking

You are welcome Tony, do you have any idea about my question?
@@bernard2896 the video is about the difference..which is non other then the buttons if i remember correct.

@@bernard2896 cheaper to build the same... 0.9% is also 1.5% just better so a buyer with a 11 with better spec will not complain
Excellent video ..👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
dont forget the Fluke 16, its kinda like the 12B. Cool video!
Thank you! .. was thinking that, but i don't own a 16 once i do, i will add it to the FF later
I have a fluke 11 can I still get parts? If so do you have the link?
Your best option is prob to look on ebay or local 2nd hand. most part are the same for 10,11,12

@@DamirUlovec Yes no problem, i understand, thanks for your input, always good to know if i can present it more clear.

Qual o valor do fluke 12
Here it is about 60,- and up
Ik zie nu dat mijn 12 geen CAT rating heeft 😕
Sorry man... maar betekend niet dat hij het niet kan... hij is alleen nog niet getest toen.
@@TonyAlbus Maakt ook niet uit hoor, het viel me alleen nu pas op, na ca 30 jaar 😁
🙂👍
Thank you!
