BSIDE ESR02 Pro LCR Multimeter & Teardown!

[@KeepOnTesting]

Yes indeed..I have put about 50 SMD components on it this far. (Inductors, SMD Caps ,SMD Resistors) and it's been great. Honestly for the money this is a superb piece of kit! It's fast , simple and seems very accurate!

[@reptiloidx8942]

PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS TESTER CAN GIVE ALL INFO ABOUT J-FET TRANSISTORS ???

[@pault6533]

Strangely lacking Zener diode mode compared to others. Vintage Darren review😊

[@KeepOnTesting]

Wow, hard to believe this was almost 6 years ago! Vintage indeed! 😅

[@Larsema1]

Thank you for the product test! A little ironic that after all your warnings, you put the plus and minus the opposite way on the capacitor :)

[@KeepOnTesting]

Yes indeed...human error just can't be negated 100% 😅👍I'm blaming it on a full moon !

[@Larsema1]

@@KeepOnTesting Haha, ok, I'm reading the spec for a similar tester now and it uses only a couple of millivolts so it probably doesn't matter. It's at least full moon proof :D

[@johncoscia5258]

Thanks for that little walk through evaluation Mr. Stroll.... Action packed with stunt capacitor discharge , only l read some time ago it can also discharge caps via two front panel slots and smd resistor being it has no protection ? I then also agreed without the ESR proper function it didn't do what the name on the box said , which doesn't sit well . Your screwdriver will be relieved , that is if the resistor is working on it . Cheers .

[@mdzacharias]

I have one - they test Jfets and Mosfets, too, and auto-identify component leads.

[@KeepOnTesting]

It's a nice all around meter and as you mention, they've PACKED alot of functionality into the device.

[@rinqucosta2422]

Awesome lcr meter.. 😊

[@KeepOnTesting]

Yes its quite good 👍 especially for a quick ESR test when I don't feel like pulling out the big boyz!

[@giorgiovasta7128]

Very best video and Professional

[@teemck9921]

HEY CAN YOU TEST A RESISTER OR THE COMPONENTS WITH THIS TESTER WHILE IT IS STILL SOLDERED TO THE BOARD?????

[@KeepOnTesting]

You can but not recommended..as you would need to hit the Power/Test button every time you took a reading..

[@claudiaolivares2185]

Hello, im thinking on buying this device because i like to repair thing and this version includes a smd tester, so i wonder if you tested any smd component?

[@KeepOnTesting]

Yes I've tested quite a few SMD components now and it's done an amazing job. It's fast and accurate and I'm using it almost daily on the bench! Highly recommended!!

[@Tal.10]

@Darren Walker, great video, what would you recommand for in-circuit testing ? thanks

[@KeepOnTesting]

MESR-100 V2 ESR/LOW Ohm In Circuit tester..make sure to get V2...I'll post a link shortly. Its a great device 👍 I'll be doing a review on it next month.

[@Tal.10]

@@KeepOnTesting Thanks for your replay Darren, I hope it's ok to ask few questions is it safe to discharge 450v caps with screwdriver or should i do it differently? Is there a meter that measure capacitance in circuit, & should i test capacitance if i'm already testing ESR? last thing what capacitance meter do you recommend ? Thanks man

[@KeepOnTesting]

@@Tal.10 Using a screwdriver to discharge the capacitor is generally not a good idea because you can spark and damage the printed circuit board or circuit of the power supply. 8n regsrds to a good capacitance meter..I really like my M6013 Capacitance Meter, fast ..built like a tank and very responsive with good ranges.it can also be powered via micro USB. Btw, I personally think it's always a good idea to measure both ESR and capacitance.

[@Tal.10]

Can you show how to test other electronic component using this device and how can you tell if its good or bad im new in electronics and i want to learn more :) thank you im ordering this now

[@KeepOnTesting]

Hi Oliver.. Yes indeed. I will be doing some circuit troubleshooting tutorials shortly. Welcome to the world of Electronics! Thanks for watching.

[@kangtukang4948]

how to to test coil inductance?

[@yusdiy]

Hey Darren, just got mine too. I look for adapter polarity at the manual and at the DC adapter in jack. Mine do not say anything about that. Do you know the polarity? Is it internal or outer ring positive? Thanks for review. Wil be comparing mine to yours. Oh ya one more question. Does your came with the Croc probe? Mine didn't. Cheers.

[@KeepOnTesting]

Hello yustech, Internal DC adapter Tip=Positive / Sleeve=Negative, Yes mine came with an "ok" set of croc leads, your unit should have as well. If you didn't receive any I would contact the seller and request a set. Enjoy the unit, it's quite useful on the bench!

[@yusdiy]

Thank you for the info. Much appreciated your research. Yes, I agree. This tool has more tech value for the money.

Today, would you buy LCR TC2 or Bside ESR02 pro ?

[@KeepOnTesting]

BSIDE ESR02

[@computerworksuk]

Hi. Does it have an ESR zeroing function? Can it also be used for in-circuit testing of Caps?

[@KeepOnTesting]

Unfortunately no zeroing functionality has been included in the ESR meter.

[@computerworksuk]

Darren Walker Thanks

[@margelatu24]

ESR function useless!

[@lucasrocha4329]

I buy one. I was thinkinh about Bside Esr02 pro and LCR TC2. Do you know how to measure esr with szbj vc6243a ?

[@KeepOnTesting]

SZBJ BC6243A does not measure ESR.

[@clems6989]

@10:45 I hope that is 0.49 milliohm ! Not 0.49 ohm. Dont trust that chart, dig up the datasheet for the cap being tested... I would like to see the test signal on a scope..

[@KeepOnTesting]

True.. I only use the chart in a pinch, normally datasheet rules the day.. 👍

[@gordonemery6949]

I've got the same one but it's called a DTU 1701 be careful I've just blown my screen or something as the 9v Jack was wired backwards inside 😤

[@computerworksuk]

Hi again Can it test any type of capacitor in-circuit?

[@KeepOnTesting]

Yes, capacitor type is not important but if you want test in circuit this might not be the best choice.

[@greg4272]

On the back those values are the maximum acceptable values. So if limit is 77 and you got 76, that is NOT a good capacitor, but one witch is dying.

[@KeepOnTesting]

Correct.. though it's still theoretically a usable component as it has not exceeded the max threshold.

[@Mustalem93]

Can it be used to test capacitors in circuit?

[@KeepOnTesting]

Yes in theory, however no component tester can reliably test a capacitor in circuit. I would still remove a suspect cap from the board to fully diagnose.

[@Mustalem93]

@@KeepOnTesting Thanks alot

does this device display zener reverse voltage?

Sorry for the late reply, no it does not measure/display reverse bias/voltage.

[@Dan-vb3ju]

Mine just shows blue screen when pushing button down, only 9 months old....junk!!

[@KeepOnTesting]

Hey Dan, open it up..might simply be a loose connection or bad solder joint. It's definitely a good test instrument.

Did you update its firmware?

[@KeepOnTesting]

@tcirit No I have not updated the fw

[@tcirit]

@KeepOnTesting I will be waiting for a video about this. Thanks.

[@garrygemmell5676]

Is this actually an in circuit ESR tester for Capacitors? Seller says yes - I say no way! ???

[@KeepOnTesting]

I would say no, it's really designed for out of circuit testing. I think as far as accuracy goes, I would not do much in-circuit testing with this unit.

@@KeepOnTesting SOT-23 sheathed compedant with RA written on it was added to the test device. NPN diode symbol 123=ECB, B=1 , Uf=1 , on the tester's screen. 1. 3V displayed. What is the name of this compedant ?

[@NNITRED]

What's the test frequency ?

[@KeepOnTesting]

Unfortunately I could not find any details regarding the default test frequency for the BSIDE ESR02. I've scoured their website bside.hk/english/esr02.html but it remains a mystery. As the measurement voltage is only between 0.3 V - 1.3V on this unit I'm guessing 100 or 120Hz. Hope that helps!

[@DeeegerD]

According to the pdf www.tsf-radio.org/forum/im/264840254890ttester.pdf it uses 1 and 10 KHz signals as it cannot do 100 KHz which is normally used for ESR. This gives a higher than typical ESR result.

[@thecoinmagician]

The display numbers are too small for my liking..

[@KeepOnTesting]

I agree the display is very small, however it does have excellent contrast and the display is very vibrant with the backlight on rendering it easy on the eyes.

[@KeepOnTesting]

The DCA 75 is a couple hundred dollars. This model is cheap and still quite serviceable. Its definitely not the most accurate but it is worth the money.

[@juliusvalentinas]

@@KeepOnTesting Well you know the saying, I'm too cheap to buy crap, in other words the GM328A is better option then. But read russian forums, they replace resitors to precision resistors 0.1% voltage reg is replaced too. Last time I checked precission resistors were expensive like 1USD so in the end the meter will get expensive. The DCA75 is professional updateable device, it plots transistor curves too.
