Fluke 196/003 ScopeMeter Repair
The Fluke 196 (196/003 kit) is a rugged isolated handheld ScopeMeter — a 100 MHz two-channel portable scope-plus-meter with isolated inputs and trend-recording for industrial field troubleshooting. As a field-carried instrument, its faults concentrate in the isolated input front-ends, the display, and the battery/power section.
FlukeMeterRepair.com repairs and calibrates the Fluke 196 for industrial maintenance and field-service teams.

FAQs
My 196 won’t hold a charge or a channel is off — fixable? Yes. Battery and isolated-input faults are repairable, then the channels are recalibrated so measurements are accurate, with a NIST-traceable certificate.
Are the inputs recalibrated? Yes — both channels are checked against our standards.
Every repair includes NIST-traceable calibration and a 90-day parts-and-labor warranty. Email us or request service.

Our Fluke Scopemeter had signal traces missing making the oscilloscope option useless for most purposes. We sent our scopemeter in for evaluation and they also repaired several buttons on top of the signal traces missing.
