This unit
The HP/Agilent 3455A is a microprocessor-controlled digital multimeter delivering 5.5 or 6.5-digit resolution for benchtop and systems measurement applications. It measures DC voltage, AC voltage, and resistance with exceptional accuracy and noise rejection, making it ideal for precision laboratory and industrial work. The instrument features fully guarded circuitry, internal auto-calibration, and dual-mode resolution for measurements approaching 1 part per million in DC and resistance.

HP / Agilent 3455A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the HP / Agilent 3455A. Calibration covers DC voltage accuracy at all ranges, AC voltage (True RMS) accuracy at 50 Hz, 1 kHz, and 10 kHz, DC current accuracy, resistance accuracy at all decade ranges, frequency accuracy, and diode test voltage. Fluke 87V and 289 also include capacitance and temperature calibration.. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common HP / Agilent 3455A faults: blown input fuse, worn input jacks, display segment failure, relay contact wear on bench DMMs. Common faults include worn input jacks (banana socket contact wear on the mA and COM terminals), blown input fuses (especially the 440 mA HRC fuse), and display segment failures. Keithley 2000/2001/2002 bench DMMs commonly develop relay contact wear affecting resistance accuracy after extended service.
