This unit
The Keysight U1282A is a rugged, 4.5-digit handheld digital multimeter engineered for demanding industrial environments. It has a high-resolution 60,000-count dual display and has a basic DC voltage accuracy of 0.025%. This device is built to withstand harsh conditions, featuring an IP67 rating for water and dust protection and drop-tested to withstand a 10-foot (3-meter) impact. The U1282A provides extensive measurement capabilities, including voltage, current, frequency, capacitance, resistance, continuity, diode testing, and temperature. Additional features enhance its utility for troubleshooting and maintenance, such as a built-in low-pass filter for variable frequency drive (VFD) analysis, a non-contact voltage detection (Vsense) feature with visual and audible alerts, a frequency counter, and a square wave output. With up to 800 hours of battery life, this multimeter ensures prolonged operational uptime.

Agilent / Keysight U1282A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Agilent / Keysight U1282A. 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 Agilent / Keysight U1282A 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.
