Thanks for the instruction on how to use the meter for boiler testing. I have been doing my own boiler repair with the help of my brother-in-law who is 250 miles away by phone. After watching your instruction on how to test the different functions of the boiler with your meter I now have a better understanding of what my brother-in-law is talking about. I also understand how to use my clamp meter which is a Klein CL 390. Thanks for the help.

I needed a new meter for performing maintenance around the house because my old one died. I looked at lots of meters but based on your videos I decided to buy the UEI DL389B TRMS Dual Display Clamp Meter It is still in transit to me so I decided to watch this video again and I am even more happy that I got this meter. It is not the Pro + model but since I am only using it around the house so I am OK with that. Until I become fully comfortable with all the features of this new meter I will likely be watching this video again when the meter arrives at the house. I watch all your videos and am grateful you explain them so well. Thanks for another great video!

I finally went to this video again to learn how to use my meter better. I read the instructions but forgot you made this video so I am back again many months later. Wow you did a great job explaining everything and I learned how to correctly use my meter. As I already said I do not use it often but when I do I want to know what I am doing so thanks! I have one question though: When you were testing the capacitors shouldn't you have advised to drain the capacitor by crossing the two terminals with a screwdriver before testing? Keep the videos coming! I watch them all.

Funny, I’ve had the UEI G-2 PRO:DL379 for about 10 years, same as yours really, I see no difference at all, I’ve never known how to really use it, I’ve had life long electricians get pissed at me because my meter was better than theirs, I’m just a lowly heat guy lol, I’m glad you made this video with this meter, I could’ve been checking flame rods the easy way all his time, and I didn’t know about the voltage tester either. The max/min button is going to be great to use, 38 years in the heating and plumbing trade, I’m just starting to do AC, you’re helping a lot, for me to learn, I have to understand the Why first, then it all comes easy because I know how it works, the rest is simple, your videos are helping me a lot. Thanks Jay, you’re doing a great job. 🇮🇹😎🇮🇹

Brilliant! The instructions that came with my meter were not very clear in parts,but you have made everything clear for me. Very glad I found this video. Living in England of course the voltage I have to contend with is 240,which is not to be fooled with at any time. Thanks for your guidance. Doing any electrical work is potentially dangerous,and should be emphasised all the time,that if you have any doubts about what you are doing,leave it alone,and call a professional!

I seen this particular on sale on ebay and other for $152 and $177 plus shipping. So your Amazon listing was a savings for me, BUT watch that you don't get roped into an Amazon Prime Membership. I found I was a member and had to cancel out of it .I'm not a high volume buyer to benefit for such a membership. A thumbs up to you friend.

I think those little tips and puzzles at the end of your videos are a super good idea. They give me the necessary time to hit that like button and subscribe, and help me to remember what I learned better. That was an actual technique that the math instructor at the tech school I attended many years ago used. Every student in the class achieved 100% grades in every class he taught. The answer is 19, right?
@billhandymanbill2775
@billhandymanbill2775 3 жыл бұрын
Excellent video! Two additional things that you might want to point out to your viewers.....the clamp and non-voltage contact setting usually only work on AC current, not DC direct current so the user still has to be careful when touching the wires as DC current may still be present and not detected by the tester. Also, may capacitors can still hold a strong charge several days/weeks after being charged so they should be shorted out by touching a metal screwdriver across the leads to bring the charge back to zero so the user does get a shock before testing them. All in all, a great and helpful presentation!

Trained by the Air Force in Basic Electronics tech school Keesler AFB right after Basic Training. Those were 8 hour days with block exams every week. Pass the exam with an 80 and move on to the next block or don't and repeat the week of training with the class coming up behind you. This was called getting washed back and was an ever looming threat as these skilled job slots were competitive. Wash back twice and you lost your guaranteed tech job and got put in a new specialty. Maybe fuels, security or as a cook. You're a good teacher. Hope you'll do more on actual component testing. Maybe spend some time using a white board to explain troubleshooting with a schematic. Now, explaining what an Ohm and a Farad and what Capacitance is, now that's an idea.

Answer to the quiz is: Shoe(X) = 10 Man(Y) = 5 Paper(Z)= 4 Answer = ? x + x + x = 30 y + y + x = 20 z + z + y = 13 x + y (z) = ? 3x = 30 2y + (10)= 20 2z + 5 = 13 10 + 5 (4) = ? -------------- -10 -10 -5 -5 10 + 20 = ? 3 3 2y = 10 2z = 8 30 = ? ------------- ------------ 2 2 2 2 x = 10 y = 5 z = 4

Excellent video and explanation. I just bought a different clamp meter, the Klein CL900, but the same principles apply, so very useful video. BTW, the resistance symbol for ohms (the upside down horseshoe) is actually the Greek symbol Omega. The same symbol appears on Omega wristwatches.

Nice video I guess 40 on the teaser. (probably wrong) In the Alarm business I have used my meter for just Voltage, mainly DC, I was happy to learn about the other functions of my meter! good job on this video I loved it. We use Diodes in access control to prevent reverse voltage on electric strikes and Ohms to just check the Resistors used in EOL devices like horn strobe NAC circuits. One tip on measuring Resistance - don't add the resistance of your fingers. Holding the resistors with your fingers will change the resistance measurements. And did you know you can stack resistors to get to your desired resistance, but you have to watch your AMP load is not higher than the resistors capability. After your video I may be in the market for a new meter! Keep up the good content!

Nice one , I am really grateful, my answer to your question is 15 10+10+10 =30 or (5+5)+(5+5)+(5+5)=30, 5+5+10=20, 4+4+5=13 or (2+2)+(2+2)+5=20 and 5+5*2=5+10=15

I recently purchased a UEI DL389B multimeter. Because I don't like reading manuals, I'm usually able to operate something by playing with it and using common sense. SHAMEFULLY... I couldn't figure out how to connect the test leads! I remembered this video and used it as a tutorial to learn the meter. Now I'm able the fully use my meter! Btw, I'd never used a meter with a temperature probe. lol Terrific video.

Jay you put out some great videos. Until finding your vids I have always felt helpless everytime my wife calls me with an AC/heat pump issue. After spending a couple hours with you I am confident the AC techs will only come out to my house for future calls if I need Freon! I’m feeling dangerous. Thanks for your informative videos.

3 Duty Cycle uses that came to my mind quickly... Duty Cycle is used in HVAC for testing: 1) PWM blower motors (Constant Air Flow ECM). 2) PWM gas valves (Modulating Furnaces). 3) Simulated 3 Phase AC (Inverter compressor in mini-splits for an example)

Diode feature: I use to check diodes. When connected to the diode it will display the voltage required to make the diode conduct. This can be from 0.5 up to 2 volts depending on the type of diode. Hook up backwards and make sure you do not get a reading. This can also be used to check Bijunction transistors.
