TNP #13 - Teardown & Repair of a Keithley 2001 7.5-Digit Multimeter
In this episode Shahriar repairs a Keithley 2001 7.5 Digit multimeter. This is a very high performance unit and worth repairing. However, the early 90’s revision of these units were subject to electrolytic capacitor failure all overt the analog and digital boards. The failed capacitors destroy the nearby traces including the inner layer connections. The teardown of the unit reveals this problem. By using x-ray imaging the missing and damaged traces are identified and meticulously repaired. Several of the power supply diodes were also destroyed. The repaired unit passes all self-tests as well as measured V/I/R in both DC and AC correctly. The unit is compared with measurements reported by a Keithley DMM7510.
