Thermistor testing video ⬇️⬇️⬇️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYHZaK2ueNJ-n6M

[@byenzer5101]

At 10:05, FYI, (From FLUKE CORP.): Any DVOM display showing O.L. = OUT OF LIMITS (Meaning, the item, currently under measurement, is OUT of LIMITS for the RANGE SETTING selected on the meter's display.

[@sknight0391]

In the "ohms" setting that means open line. OL only applies when you're taking readings like voltages and the reading you're taking is higher than the what the meter is currently capable of. And that is when "ranging" comes into play. But you don't really have to worry about that when using an "auto-ranging" meter. But thanks for watching. Hopefully the video was helpful 👍

[@byenzer5101]

@@sknight0391 O.K. Shannon. If you want to believe it's OPEN LINE, no prob.

[@sknight0391]

@@byenzer5101 oh I'm not believing anything pal. I'm right, do your homework and then come back and apologize later. You obviously don't know your way around a multimeter very well. Here is the definition for open line/open loop ⬇️ open loop If the screen displays 1 or OL (open loop), there's no continuity-that is, there's no path for electric current to flow from one probe to the other. Continuity is non-directional, meaning it doesn't matter which probe goes where.

[@sknight0391]

The ol that you're talking about is something totally different. For instance if you're using a meter that has two different voltage ranges: 200vac & 600vac and you have the meter set to the 200 volt setting and you take a reading on a circuit that is 400 volts the meter will show OL FOR OVERLOAD. That means that you need to switch the setting to the "higher" 600 volt range. But again, you don't have to worry about this when you have an auto ranging meter. The O.L. on the ohms/continuity setting is different my friend. Trust me!

[@BYENZER]

@@sknight0391 Sure Shannon. I don't know my way around a multimeter. Your right. Silly of me to have engaged, or questioned your Highness on all this. Again, thank you, and keep putting out your vids. We use em. They are helpful. And you are a good person. A bit thin skinned, but, a good person nonetheless. Hang in there man. We'll all get there.

Good video Shannon , hate hear had so much trouble with your eye , take care of yourself and maybe this craziness be over soon and we can get back to normal

Yay shannon put out a video! Welcome back man :)

Wasn't much, but it's better than nothing 😎👌

[@thehvachacker]

How many have broken test leads or pipe clamps from wrapping the wires to tight, the blue fieldpiece clamp I once had the clamp broke. The fluke pipe clamp the last one that broke right on the wire were the spring ended.

[@sknight0391]

Gotta weed those "Shorty's" outta there so we're not getting wonky readings that make us pull our hair out. Thanks for watching buddy 👍

Thanks for the video. This is something that I've been meaning to do for a while. looking forward to the video on the new SC480.

[@sknight0391]

Thanks BriPo 😎👍

Hello Shannon McKnight. This shelter in place is nothing different from the way I live my life. I am awaiting the next hvac call. Not worried about bills. I primarily drive for a living and that pays my living expenses. What I make doing hvac service and repair pay my licenses, tools, parts and supplies.

[@hozerhvac4406]

Shannon Knight HVAC Honestly I am starting to get annoyed with the whole situation. I plan on going back soon and working which will help. The more this situation goes on and the more research I do I question everything that we are being told

[@sknight0391]

@@hozerhvac4406 I hate that it has to be that way. But I have a whole lot of doubts myself. Especially since it's an election year here in the states, and both sides will do anything they have to to try and get elected. We, the people, are all just a little pawns in there game.

[@EyesofIllusion]

I liked it. I hope you do more videos like that. I been on the filed for few month and that's really helpful. I have the new fieldpiece meter the 680 and yes it's big and fits perfectly in my klien backpack.

[@baitcasterdisaster8981]

Shannon Knight HVAC quick question for you buddy. I’m about to buy a new leak detector and I know you really like the AccuTrac ultrasonic. I’m thinking either the AccuTrac or the D-Tek select. Any thoughts? I’ve never used ultrasonic, is it hard to get the hang of? Have you ever used the D-Tek select? What would you recommend? Any advice would be greatly appreciated before I drop close to $500!

[@sknight0391]

Ultrasonic is great but it has its place. Would I have it as my stand-alone only leak detector....No. It's to use in conjunction with a good sniffer. If the leak is big and the system has very little refrigerant or is flat, then the ultrasonic is great because you can put some nitrogen into the system and hear it plain as day. Most guys say the Dtek Select is a solid detector. I also like the Amprobe RLD1 & the Robinair LD7. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching 😎👍

[@BYENZER]

Shannon, I'm confused. My techs are confused. My in-house technician training manuals are ALL WRONG. WHY? Because, my techs watched this video, and then asked me to watch it too. We've mistakenly thought: A single wire, meter test lead can develop an 'INTERMITTENT OPEN'. But now, we're all going to have to start calling an OPEN, a SHORT. We obviously have been soooo confused. Thank you for straightening us out on this.

[@sknight0391]

Oh so now you're changing the subject away from the "OL". Because you figured out that you are indeed wrong. (I still expect an apology ) . And there's no need to mince words over what you call a bad test lead. Nobody.. and I repeat NOBODY has ever referred to a bad place in a test lead out in the field as an "open wire". We all say "Damn, I've got a short in one of my test leads. I'm going to have to buy some new ones." People talk differently in different parts of the country. I'm a good old boy from the south and I talked the way I talk PERIOD. You call it whatever you want. it's a bad test lead and it needs to be taken out of service. and the majority of technicians don't even know how to test for such things. This video is intended for new guys getting into the trade to help them know and understand their equipment and to make sure it's working properly. There's no sense in you coming on my videos trying to act like a big shot and you know everything there is to know about electrical meters and test leads. When you don't even know what OL means when you're testing in the ohms/continuity setting! Maybe your guys need a new teacher. 🤔

[@BYENZER]

@@sknight0391 O.K. Shannon. Whatever you say sir. You're right. Silly me. What do I know. Nuclear Weapons Systems test equipment training by Fluke and Boeing Nuclear Defense Systems. What do I know. Obviously NOTHING. I'm confused. O.L. is OUT OF LINE, not Out of Limits, like they, Fluke, taught me. I was wrong. Oh well. I'll just tell my techs to say, it's a SHORT too. It'll help them to truly understand what's actually happening in the test lead wire. It's a SHORT! Again, thank you.

[@sknight0391]

@@BYENZER I guess fluke trained you how to be a douchebag also. Film your own videos and put them on KZbin if everybody else is doing everything wrong and you're the only one that knows what you're doing.

@@BYENZER Check out HVAC SERVICE MENTOR -How to test your meter leads for HVAC techs. Are you telling me he has 3 meters that are all OL "overload" sitting on a table with the test leads not touching anything. He performs the same test that I do. But maybe you'll trust him more than me. By the way- my video was done well before his. But this gentleman does a fantastic job of explaining the same thing. So maybe you can go on his channel and give him a hard time also. Are you telling me he has 3 meters that are all OL "overload" sitting on a table with the test leads not touching anything.

@@sknight0391 Your last paragraph is duplicate Shannon. BTW, I'm not a douchebag, but, when someone tells my techs something technical, that isn't correct, I can, and should be, a DICK about it. But, unlike you, I never resorted to calling you derogatory names. That, you have to own up to. You were being disrespectful. I didn't dis you. I disagreed with the 'ideas', not your person. Keep things respectful sir. Remember? Your a 'Suthn Gentadman'. BTW: I grew up in the south too! So thaya!! Go have a beer on me man! I'll get around to sending ya $ for it too. Again, hang in there!
