Hi Sui778, Thanks for the review, you helped me decide to buy the 8804 multimeter. I am very satisfied with how it works and I think it behaves better when measuring the capacity as well as the diode test beep at a voltage drop of 0.5 -0.8V than the much more expensive model 8005. To be honest I kind of prefer the rotary switch selector it's always where it should be. I have a question for you, it happens that when I turn the rotary switch and select the diode test, a very short beep sound is heard and sometimes it is not heard. I really can't explain this. Have you noticed this happening to you too or is it just my multimeter? I also see that there is a problem with (mS) on the Hz range, the frequency measurement shows twice less (mS) even the duty cycle is often inaccurate and if it is in the manual they say that it can be a problem, but apparently everything should be fine up to 200Khz. One more question, tell me, does it also happen to you when the (Hz) range picks up 50 - 60Hz and shows on the display when the probes are plugged into it, or does it show you zeros? Everything else really works perfectly on this multimeter. Thank you again and keep up the good work. Best regards
@Sui77812 күн бұрын
Sounds almost like it might be reporting continuity. What mode are you switching from to diodes? If it's a current mode and you still have the leads connected that may be why it's doing it.. Another possible reason is I know this model will automatically discharge in the capacitor mode if it detects the capacitor still has a charge and it may also do it with the diode mode since it's shared in the same slot of the rotary, but I've never heard it beep when it does this - you will see a brief message indicating it's discharging the capacitor. In regard to the frequency measurement, the only oddball thing mine has done is when in high voltage (120V) it will sometimes very briefly report a reading of around 320V but only for a split second and then it corrects itself. Otherwise I have not seen the behavior you have described.

Thanks for this... But let me ask you this: the manual and the spec sheet say that the 1041 has four ranges for capistance; 5nf, 500uf, 5mf and 50mf. That's a lot of gaps there, or its a heck of a lot of range to cover in each setting, isn't it? Are there more ranges or something?
@Sui77812 күн бұрын
That's basically what it has - and I don't like it either. Capacitance isn't very well implemented on this, it's almost like it was just an afterthought. The sparse amount of ranges probably goes a long way to explaining why the unit gets so wonky when attempting to measure capacitors with greater values.

Hello fluke 17b+ and aneng q10. Which is more accurate?
@Sui7783 ай бұрын
I would go with the Q10 assuming you're just on an electronics bench and not in need of better protection for high voltage work. The Q10 is also true RMS, and the 17B+ is an averaging meter, so your AC voltage readings will be off by roughly 11% on the 17B+. I honestly haven't been that impressed with my 17B+ overall - it's performance has been a bit lackluster. That also why I don't feature it much on the channel.

I decided to order a UNI-T UT8805E. Hope it is responsive. I watched videos on Siglent, OWON and Rigol 51/2 digit DMMs as well as 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 DMMs. The OWON seemed good per another reviewer. Siglent seemed to be less responsive to get high accuracy. With this level DMM I wonder about warranty support. Hopefully I won't need to find out. My only DMM is a Fluke 87 that I have had since about 1996, purchased to do a job in India. It still works but I have never checked calibration. I don't have access to calibrated instruments either. So, I was interested in the DMM Standard you reviewed. I was also looking at the BRT LB02A process calibrator. Thanks for the details you go into! Update for completeness: received the UT8805E - 3 days to ship. Using a LB02A process calibrator current to 20ma and DCV to 11V matches. My 25 year old Fluke87 matches as well. Resistors (0.1%) 56, 2K and 33.1K match. I ordered a DMMCheckPlus with all options. Don't know how long it takes to ship. On the website it shows 250 burn-in so if they assemble per order it will take a while. The calibration values would be taken after burn-in. So, after a very brief look, I like the UT8805E very much except the fan is loud. Hope the rack helps, otherwise it will need a new fan. The sppd choices of slow, medium and fast work well but medium seems to just integrate to the value and updates at about the slow rate. Only on fast does the rightmost 5th digit bounce - on the LB02A. It works! The leads are soft - nice. The alligator leads suck -- the shroud on the black lead prevents full closure. It works and is a nice meter.
@Sui77810 ай бұрын
Appreciate the comments. The 8805E is pretty much a similar interface although it's a bit of a tradeoff of which unit is better than the other. In the 8804N's favor - it is light years ahead of the 8805E in capacitance and frequency ranges; also it will light up and measure voltage on any LED where the 8805E will not measure anything above 2V. On the other hand the 8805E is more accurate on voltage and it light years ahead in readings per second and also has a lot of additional connectivity. It also will do 4-point measurements which the 8804N can't. Neither of these meters are that accurate on capacitance (as is the case with pretty much all non-LCR meters). They get the job done but wouldn't be useful for pinpoint accuracy that way. I considered getting an 8805E but the 8804N has been a workhorse for me and it does everything I need it to do and then some - just couldn't justify the expense. The warranty with any Chinese-made product is going to be a risk but mine has been rock solid for over two years now. In regard to the other brands you mentioned - Rigols are overpriced, Siglents are good meters but the interface on them isn't that great and I don't care much for OWON meters - they have the functionality (when they work) but the interface is very buggy (even when it works). I honestly cannot recommend OWON to anyone as a primary meter.

There are a couple of differences between the newer and older units - first, the backlight will stay on indefinitely when you turn it on, but it can be toggled back off so you're not stuck with it being on all the time. The older version would turn itself off after 15-20 seconds, no matter what. The other difference is in voltage mode the newer version defaults to DC voltage rather than AC voltage when switching to that mode (guessing the same is true of the current mode as well). Other than that - no differences really, at least that I know of.

Perhaps it also wanted to compare the speed of reading values at Low, Med or High settings. There are definitely reading speed differences in the settings. Tony Albus already states in his review that the measurement speed is much better if you set the expected base value. It's a pity that you don't show the reading speed at different settings of the converter and the reading speed. It would be a better demonstration than still looking for the exact measurement value.
