It's very important to zero before measuring (with the clamp). Do it right before you measure, close to what you are going to measure, and don't change the orientation more than you absolutely need to between zeroing and measuring. Otherwise the earth's magnetic field + and other ambient magnetic fields will make your measurement less accurate. Even just moving it half a meter and rotating it 90 degrees can significantly impact the reading. This is a limitation of all clamps since they rely on measuring the magnetic field, and ambient magnetic fields exist all around us. This is a great hobbyist-level (or even low-level professional) tool. Really great price for the quality that you get in terms of the electronics at least. I wouldn't subject it to rough use since it's not poted ect., but if you are using one of these on a day-to-day basis then you probably have a professional-level tool already. For my use with home electrics and PC-enthusiast work it's great since I treat all my tools gently anyway. I got one for an absolute steal on ebay just recently.

Also have it for about two years. Works great. But I use it almost always for AC so did not notice that inconvenience. I also always use NCV as a safety check and it works every time (I check before and after I cut the power). It's reasonably accurate and I caught a 50W ground fault in my home just by noticing the current difference between the live and neutral wires of the whole apartment at the panel. The ground fault was due to a miswired socket , which I fixed.

Hi Paul. I mentioned this meter and that your friend Big Clive had it too. And also big Great Scott uses one I found out. You are a bit mistaken about handling this meter for right handed people. I think this is because your are left handed? In your right hand you have your forefinger on the trigger (clamp), just like holding a gun, but I got little experience with that since that hardware is not allowed here. In this way you are able to control the dial with your thumb which feels very natural and in this way you can easily read the display. I got mine this thursday from China for 38, very happy with it :)

In general, Uni-T are very good bang for buck. They produce a very wide range of meters across a very wide price point. Try the UT 181A. I use this alongside my 87V as my daily driver.

@Brian-uq6jm 5 жыл бұрын
The only reason why I haven't gotten a UT181A is that it can be killed by static electricity by applying it on the input side. I don't wanna spend hundreds of dollars and accidentally kill it with my own hands... same thing with the UT61E, but that's way cheaper. The UT139C and UT139E however are immune to static electricity, I'm quite comfortable with those two knowing they will just keep living.

I understand your take about replacing the provided probes with yours, without even testing them: as an engineer it's perfectly understandable, since _you_ know that _your_ probes are reliable and accurate, and you only want to test the multimeter - *_not_* the whole product. But imho, it's part of the deal so why not (no will not start a new channel lol)? I *know* those UNI-T probes that are provided with their kits, even the UT181A that I bought offering grey probes with caps (supposed to be on their higher end of their product line), are utter crap. Until I got better and more "complete" ones, I used cheap old probes that came along a 10$CAD multimeter and which worked much better... Anyway, good review, thanks: I won't buy this because the NCV (those clamps being the main purpose of this specific multimeter) doesn't seem reliable at all.

The NCV sensor is in the little bump on top of the clamp. I both have the UNI-T UT210E and the -D, and Indeed, I like those meters too. Bang accurate, and with the Hold button, you can even lock the readout so you can measure in difficult conditions, and can read the display afterwards. I allso have the Dynatek 9045 (Oldie), but this small meter is awesome to carry with me. The -E is in use for the daily jobs, and the -D is in use for the higher currents 100A+ AC and DC and frequency reading.

I'm from Australia. I've got a few sets of Brymen test leads. They are very nice, gold plated, rubberised handle, silicone insulation, 18awg, come with screw-on banana connector on the tip end. I also have two sets of probemaster leads, same as yours. I have to say, I don't have a preference between the two in terms of performance, but I do prefer the Brymen cuz they are cheaper and easier for us aussies to get, Franky sells them on eBay. I also have a few sets of expensive Fluke leads, TL175, Tl71, TL224 and a few attachments but I don't remember their model numbers. They are nice, but really they are not something I recommend because of their prices. I've recently discovered a set of cheap high quality leads. It's branded Cleqee, no idea how to pronounce that. The model i have is P1503. The wires are very flexible, I doubt it's silicone, but it feels flexible enough that I'd call it "half silicone". The wire gauge feels like 18/16 awg, I've yet to test actual internal resistance yet. The handles and plugs are both rubberised and feel great to the touch. The tips are moduler too. One big things I love about these probes than all my other more expensive ones is that, these probe handles can be bent quite a bit! They can flex and bend in your hand. I really can't get enough of these leads. They are just so comfortable to hold! EDIT: fix stupid typos

Hi Paul. First of all, thank you for your content, just recently found your channel and I really like it. Back to the topic, you appear to have a UT210e sporting the ETL label, and it's the first time I see one. Would you by any chance be able to take a couple of high resolution photos of both sides of the pcb? I'd love to confront your version with the non-ETL one to see if any significant difference is present. Keep up the good work and all the best.

Our dear friend, 1) If you think about it again, you will see that you are probably not right about the grip on the device, so your note on device design will necessarily be wrong (in fact you are holding the device upside down). This device is design to grip with your right hand, and the "Thumb" is designed to operate the mode selector wheel, not the clump. Operate the clump should be done with your "Index" finger. 2) I really liked your review, and in fact you will know that this device can be obtained relatively safely also through their official store on AliExpress (which this website needs a lot of caution) at a significantly lower price (the price goes up and down, but the average is 34USD, including shipping). 3) I thank you very much for your videos. This device has helped me save the lives of several friends (a sure save from a sure death - and I'm not exaggerating and not kidding).

Thanks for the video homesteader! Like many, I use mine for automotive diagnostics as it's compact size is a big plus, but I'm not thrilled with the readings i get on many low resistance devices (could be operator error, I confess). It sure is hard to zero on DC voltage, but I guess that's because it's reading millivolts -not a plus for my applications, sort of distracting, but i just ignore it like you do. I also find the NCV to be a bit iffy at times and I don't entirely trust it. Thanks for the quality leads comments -as a DIY'er, that's something that we sometimes fail to consider sufficiently. Best wishes.

Die NCV -Funktion ist leicht auch ohne Verbraucher als stromführender Phasenmesser einsetzbar (ähnlich wie an der Glimmlampe auf Strom und Nullphase messbar). Zumindest bei UNI-T ging dies überperfekt. Einfacher Trick: man wickelt die schwarze Kabelstrippe der roten Messleitung um die Mess-Zange 4x außen ganz umrundend herum und klemmt den roten Messstift fixierend zwischen die Zange nach vorne ein, mit der Spitze nach vorne zeigend. Mit der anderen Hand greift man auf Kontakt mit der schwarzen Meßleitung.

Hi Paul, You have to wonder why they didn't design one of the lead's plugs a little longer so that the longer one can rotate around without interfering with the other when sitting on the bench. I also saw in another video the rotary switch contacts scrape across the PCB, cutting into skinny surface traces running across the top of the board. Have you found anything else that would give us pause to buying this unit after your three years use? Anything better come along since then? I'm getting ready to pull the trigger.

Hi Paul, I want to use my UT210e to measure the current from my multiplier. For instance at the start of the multiplier and I really would like to know how many mA the end of the multiplier produces. So let's say I want to measure the current from my 25kv multiplier output; is it safe to use the clamp meter for this application? '(off course with good shielded and safe hv wiring) I hope so because the outcome of the output really matters to me. And since it is not directly connected to any high voltage my intuition says it must be ok, but I give more value to your statement as an experienced engineer. Can you plz give me some feedback?

The NCV is in the small bump at the end of the clamp, it beeps faster the closer you get to AC...

It's a clamp meter :P A good one and it is really tiny. 1mA res :P To measure current in AC, build a small extension cord with splitted wires. watch out for the glare before taking out the digits.

You can only measure one wire on DC and not 2 wires as you stated in your video @ 10min 5 Sec . 2 wires in DC mode on a hall sensor cancel out the Amps as they travel in opposite directions

Ordered one of these earlier this month. Just the other day I was using it and discovered the 2A and 20A Amperage mode was not functioning. No AC/DC Icon. It would function switch into the other functions like Volts, Cap and Diode fine. DAMN, Went back to the posting I purchased it from looking for any kind of Warranty. Eaaaa 30 Free Return. Contacted the Seller and explained the What For. He / She who ever responded the next day asking for Photo's of the Issues at hand, Eaaaaa Here we go I was thinking . Going to run me around a few more days and out last the few days I had left to return the thing. I sent photo's of the thing in the None Functioning settings. Next day they informed me a New Unit was on the way. DAMN Never expected that from a E Bay seller. Didn't even want me to send the old unit back. Think I'll try to Reprogram it and see if it will work. Should be here Friday. Whhhhh00000000000000000 !

For people in Europe: You can get these probes at Welectron: www.welectron.com/ but they are more expensive compared to the US. Personally I use the Brymen probes cuz they are cheaper (10 Euros for a pair) and they also are gold-plated and have really soft silicone leads. But I plan to get some Probemasters for comparison. I highly recommend everyone to get good probes for your multimeter. Even for cheap ones like the Anengs it will make a huge difference for your measurements. They just make much better contact and are so much nicer to use.

So, assume you have a 600V meter connected to a circuit, measuring 590 Volts. Now, leaving the meter connected, you increase the voltage to 610 Volts, and the display switches to OL. You are saying that that connected meter is indicating Open Loop (when it is closed), and not Over Limit? Sorry, but you are wrong.

One of the biggest challenges for a meter is "true RMS". Does anybody know of a review that tests the accuracy of the UT210E re true RMS? Just on simple waveforms like half & full wave rectified sine wave & square wave would be good. Edit: just found this Amazon review by a meteorologist that tests true RMS (although not rectified sine): www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R1W3TYFDI0IWZF/

Inline DC current measurement is completely unnecessary when you have the clamp. Cheaper clamp-meters have inline current measurement for DC, because they only measure AC current with the clamp.
