Converting hp3468 from 115 to 230V ?
Message #1 Posted by Francois on 12 Jan 2006, 4:36 p.m.

Hello,

Is it easy to convert an US HP3468 Digital MultiMeter from 115 VAc to 230 VAC for use in France ? (It's quite difficult to find in europe, so before searching in the US I prefer asking if transformation is possible or not)

Is the power supply a transformer or a switching supply ?

Thank you Francois

Hi,

Yes this is very simple. Drop me a mail when you have aquired one and I will mail you the page from the service manual. It is just soldering one wire at another place on the circuit board.

Thank you for the information, now i have to find a 3468. It's more easy in US I think.

Merci pour ton post, Etienne, cela semble vraiment simple. Utilises tu couramment le 3468 ?

Finding one should be easy --> Ebay has plenty!

I use mine on a regular basis when repairing Hp-calcs, printing out voltage measurements.

A ta disposition pour toute info.
