    Model 87 Funny Noises

    Anyone ever had an 87 start sounding like a geiger counter? When you short the leads on ohms, it changes to a tick-tick-ticking.I tried removing the battery but no luck. It seems to be working other than the beeping, but I don't trust it. ALSO... When i turn the speaker on using ohms, it again slows to the tick-tick-tick.
    Thanks in advance

    1) There is a section called "Test Equipment Usage, Techniques, and Reviews" where your post is better suited.

    2) Is this a Fluke 87 that you are talking about?

    3) Have you tried a fresh new 9V battery?

    4) Post clear focused pictures of the front and back pcb (with shield removed), buzzer, etc

    If you are new to this forum, we can help a lot more if you please post clear focused pictures (max resolution 2000x2000 and 2MB) of your boards using the manage attachments button so they are hosted here. Information and picture clarity compositions should look like this post.

    We respectfully ask that you make some time and effort to read some of the guides available for basic troubleshooting. After you have read through them, then ask clarification questions or report your findings.

    Please do not post inline and offsite as they slow down the loading of pages.

      Sounds like the lead alarm going off. Are the leads in the correct jacks? Black to COM, Red to V-Ohm-Diode. If that's OK then look for foreign matter or damage in the mA or A jacks.
