Why doesn't this multimeter freeze the voltage or omes displayed instead of changing what's displayed as your testing? Can't tell what's the final measurement this way.

I got this exact meter at walmart a few years ago and it is pretty nice especially for a cheap unit. I might go for a fluke when I feel like I need it but I am a pretty experienced with electronic work but this thing does all I need. I very rarely work on AC so if it has short comings there then its no surprise I havent noticed those short comings lol

muilty meter? Anyway I bought two 3320s in a row and the battery load tester only worked once. The green light came on "GOOD" for the first 9V battery. No light for the second. Then no light for the first. Ever again. What good are indicator lights if they don't work? Meanwhile the thing is scrolling numbers randomly now whenever I turn it on, whereas on first using it there were zeroes. When I touch the leads together, it zeroes out. Is it still reading correctly? IDK.

@@KevinMillard68 I just found out that a tiny fuse was blown inside, in the battery compartment! I don't know where to get replacements but when I connected the points with a wire the numbers zeroed correctly and the indicator lites worked again. Looks like that was the problem
@zxeanlon31645 жыл бұрын
Much better if you also try to check the wire resistance...yeah continuity test can tell you the wire got continuity but its important to know if the wire has a less than 1 ohm resistance and thats when you know you had a good wire...just a tip man coz some multimeter just read 0.00ohm but a wire should at least have a 0.2-0.5 ohm
@KevinMillard685 жыл бұрын
A wire or all wires,, no offence but i have been at the electronics game sence i was 8 years old so well over 40 years now not once have i ever worryed about 0.2 to .0.5 resistance in any wire and never once had a problem so i dont see why your picky on this resitance thing in the wire if it tests good and it works then its all good in my opinion

lucky dog! Got it for Christmas, huh. I especially like the load Features, also. I've had mine since since maybe '06 and no trouble until today. I discovered the knob wouldn't turn more than one click to left. So after a bit of trying to pry knob upwards, all to no avail, I took out the 2 screws on the bottom and proceeded to remove the 4 screws retaining the circuit board. There was an attempt made to remove the circuit board, fail! Of course everything was assembled and what do you the know, the knob worked, great! Guess I was lucky, because it doesn't seem to have changed any of the readings. Iit could be because of the caution with which I approached the whole procedure.

you'll have to know what you're after... if you want to check continuity (which tests to see if the wire is contiguous-one piece electrically-not an open circuit) you'll just put the leads at each end of the wire you want to check and it will give a reading... if not it will be OL (out of limits) which means the wire is broken/not the right wire etc.. I am sure you can find some good basic meter use videos on youtube.

@KevinMillard689 жыл бұрын
a brand new 9 volt will put out 9 volts to just a bit over 9 volts the one tested was not brand spanking new 9 volt that was tested the green light as lets you know that the battery should also still be good so the answer is yes you can load test your 6 volt battery a 12 volt car battery should read 13.8 volt fully charged a 6 volt will also read just over 6 volts fully charged and so on. and when an alternator is in the system like in a regular car you should read 14 to as much as 18 volts when you are testing the alternator with the car running

While a 9 volt has a 3 more volts than your 6 volt system, the key thing to look at is amperage. A 9 volt is roughly 600mA max rated (0.6 Amp) while your battery is probably rated for 500 cca Cold Cranking Amps) or more. So simply put, your 6 volt puts out 833 times more current compared to a 9 volt. I work on airplanes, for example, I could get a lot bigger shock from 26 Volts AC compared to 115 vac depending on current flow, and resistance. Electricity is crazy and dangerous, but fun to learn. I hope this helps out.

Measure fast, safely, and accurately with the Equus Innova Multimeter. This meter features auto ranging scales that eliminate the need to dial in the correct range when making electronic measurements. It has a large digital display and 10 MegOhm input impedance for safe automotive and household uses. This digital multimeter also features a single-setting resistance function for voltage (AC and DC), and a color-coded LED display that lets you quickly check battery status. Attachable test leads, holders and stand are included for added convenience. And you’ll appreciate the rubber corner guards for protection against dropping. Use it to test batteries, car wiring, and a lot more.
