This unit

The Agilent/Keysight U1273A is a rugged, handheld digital multimeter designed for demanding industrial applications. It features a 4 ½ digit, 30,000-count OLED display that offers high contrast and wide viewing angles, even in low-light conditions. The multimeter is IP54 certified, indicating resistance to water and dust, making it suitable for harsh working environments. It operates across a wide temperature range, with specific models (U1273AX) capable of functioning down to -40°C, while others operate to -20°C. The device is safety rated for CAT III 1000V and CAT IV 600V.

Common Agilent / Keysight U1273A 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.
