Does it read millivolts?????
I got it to test a grounding mat. Paid $35 for the thing! Can’t take it back now, past the refund date! I need a how to vid asap! 🙁
Yes it reads millivolts..Set the selector switch to 200m (200 mV) on the Volts DC scale. 🙂👍
i just got it for the same reason, and can't get it into the grounding socket in the outlet
@@Lightworker444 same, pain in the ass
Hi, which setting do I use to test car battery? Thanks
Select the lowest Resistance setting first..in this case the 200 Ohm setting on the multimeter.
didn't test the 10 Amps? mine is not testing it
i have recently got this meter a couple weeks ago and it was working fine with no problems then all of a sudden the display is stuck as -0000 and wont read anything anymore please help
If you want to send it in, I will fix it for free and ship back no charge. I might do a repair segment and use it on the channel.
Email me: netplicity1@gmail.com
Is there any digital multimeter which can measure capacity resistance from micro level to macro level
Depends what you mean by micro level? ..if you are referring to pF then yes, uH then only a handful ...
I received a new multimeter today. The winhy vc890s. It's a cheap meter, but it have a voice function. So it reads out your measurements. Kind of a nice twist.
Excellent! Its actually on my review list for February! How do you find it so far?
@@KeepOnTesting it's an ok meter, considering the price. Nice build quality. It's not a fluke when you open it, but its totally fine for what it is. Looking forward for the review.
@@thingblaze5754Glad to hear it.. I think it will be a fun meter to review, I'm looking forward to it.
the leads can be shoved somewhere else , and see see if they work there. defeats the purpose of trying to see if there is power to an outlet.
Darren, can I test block heaterto see if it’s functional if so how? Thx
Set your multimeter to the "ohms" setting, then touch one probe to each of the prongs on the block heater plug and read the resistance. About 25 ohms is good...0 means the block heater is no good.
I understand that, my question is which ohms setting? Thx
@@ggrong4356 Select the lowest Ohms setting...200 Ohm.
Thanks Darren appreciate that.
@@ggrong4356 Anytime..let's hope ol man winter doesnt stick around too long!
great review as usual, Darren. :) imho, actually i prefer more with the led test method this way than you used currently. this way, i can clearly see whether the leds are lit or not. but of course this is just my worthless opinion, you keep doing what is the most convenient to you, because that always brings us great reviews. keep on testing! ;)
I'm going to have a new LED testing setup soon..I agree at present it's not completely adequate. 👍
@@KeepOnTesting wow awesome! really looking forward to the new setup. :)
Does this meter test millivolts?
I’m wondering that too
Where do i install the battery
Back of the multimeter..located at the top , just over the tilt stand is one Philips screw, remove and pull off the cover ..insert 1 -9v battery 🤩👍
Nice to see 'Crappy-Tire' has started to stop from OEMing garbage DMM's from Colluck. I have 5 more CT meters bought on-sale over the years and some of them have 0.1" clearance between PCB traces coming directly off the probes, so naturally I have limited those to LV bench work only. I have the other DMM (shown at 5:01 on left) it has less protection but I found it has an interesting trait - it does a good job on resistance right down to 0.1 ohm and that's something even my Fluke-77II doesn't do to well. My next purchase will be a Brymen 869s from TME in Europe - that thing for the money just can't be beat and with 200,000 counts.. that's the "ducks-guts"
Yes, they have definitely improved over the years..input protection has never been stellar with CT meters but things are getting better. Interesting note on the low ohm capabilities I'll have to look further , a definite plus at this price point. Agreed, the BM869 would be a welcome addition to any test bench and will definitely get us meterphiles drooling 😍 congrats on your future purchase!
thank you for this review... any danger of a 052 0060 2 for dummies video?? IE what can this thing do ? common uses common mistakes what NOT to do ... solve these problems with this unit?? Yes i can test batteries with the pile setting but what about 3 V coin batteries? Help me to help me.. LOL or perhaps you can recommend what to watch next ...
Those are all great questions...I'll have some beginner style tutorial videos coming out in late April..thanks for the feedback...
Believe me, leads are not something that I'm short of.🤣
Sorry but resistance range not for me, minimum of 60 Meg ohm preferably 200 M for testing a loadcell that wants to put up a fight.
I hear ya Derek, 2000k seems ancient by today standards.. too bad these multimeter mfrs can't establish a decent minimum threshold for the end user.
Didn't do me any good, in trying to figure out (newbie) as to how to use this meter? Ok, off to find a 'how to operate' video!
Hi Dale, it's not a how to video ,it's a multimeter review. That being said, I'm coming out with a multimeter tutorial this month..let me know if there's any particular feature you would like to see explained. Thanks!
Fully agree with you, Dale. This was a LOT of GENERIC comments and nothing practical.
1000 volts through a 22guage wire-?? That is a pee-weak continuity beeper, when probemasters make zero difference thats pretty bad. There are however molded in supports on the rear lower case half to support and capture the input jack sleeves. The display is a nice size with bold digits, also the circuit board is surprisingly better than expected, it actually offers some meaningful input protection in a very low price range, this meter is a definite step up from a Harbor Freight type 830 cheapie, better than a few others in this price range as well. One could swap out the peizo for a louder one for a better continuity volume, change out the leads to make it a pretty good low dollar rig. You could do much worse for the price.
I am a DIY homeowner who has used this meter happily for several years. I am a little confused in that it has the exact same number as the one reviewed but a different functinality at the lower right of the dial. There is no mention of battery testing, rather a diode test spot and one other. My whole purpose to watch was to see if it would properly test small batteries but am left wondering why exactly the same model of meter has different functionality. I would have thought that would warrant a different model number. Good video though.
I have the same as this one: ruclips.net/video/7LlOjpVs3ac/видео.html
Thanks. I agree the Canadian Tire naming schema is lame to say the least. It most definitely should be renamed but instead they simply lump them together into multiple generations of multimeters with same name. Bonkers I know ! 😅
We have the same model in Canada and the display sucks. Colour scheme is an orange red and green very difficult to see especially if your eyes are bad
Measly 2000k? You do understand that’s 2000 x 1000 ohms?
Nope. 2000K...That's the equivalent of 2 Megaohm. Check your math.
2000K =2,000,000 ohms= 2 Megaohms
@@supercamario That's correct 👌 a measly 2 Megaohms.
Well I have to say im also more than surprised by the better than usual input protection in such a low cost device. This is kind of what the Harbor Freight freebie 830B meters could/should be if they werent built to giveaway prices. Its obviously a cheap-o meter and continuity isnt great but its to be expected half the time in this range - but if it measures accurately and performs its basic functions it still serves a useful purpose. It has a decent display & range switch and the fact that a meter in this price range has any meaningful input protection at all is rare indeed and the fact they cared enough to include it shows even though it was obviously built to a price they didnt go total bargain basement/bottom of the barrel like the scary 830B clones with no fuses or protection of any kind. Its actually irresponsible to even allow such meters as the badly designed 830B's on the market, theyre just plain dangerous.
You hit the nail on the head! Cheap doesn't have to mean "deadly or complete garbage"...you can sacrifice alot of things but how much does a PTC/MOV and some fuses really cost? I don't get it...but its nice when I see an OEM putting some attention on these "cheap" meters. I still don't understand why basic shielding is almost non-existent...it was standard in design 20+ years ago...?? Basic multimeter design needs to improve and the louder we scream hopefully the more they will listen. Now when do you think we will see an HRC fuse in an 830b ? :)
Too bad the continuity was so bad, I was hoping we had another surprise on our hands...oh well!
I already emailed you regarding the allsun webstore as they seem to have a bit better build quality / bang for the buck in the cheap-o meter realm - their slightly more expensive EM420B looked like a pretty good next step up for $17.99. I see theres an EM 420A, B and C in this type.
@@yambo59 Yes, I'll have to take a closer look at all-Sun, might be some pleasant surprises here...
Yeah seems like they might be one of those rare little known better built values in the cheap meter market
@@yambo59 Indeed, I think its time to explore the all-sun, I'm always eager to find a better built multimeter ..at the best price.
$15?? Boy 5 years has changed things. Just got this for $36. Wish I saw this review first. Yes, cannot get it into a socket
Definitely replace the leads. Makes a huge difference. Yes, things aren't getting any cheaper 😅
Fonctionnement ...pas les trippes de la choses ....
Oui, c'est un bon instrument pour la prix.
I came to the video to learn how to use every part of the meter. No use to me. Was annoying when you talk about other meters you should only focus on the meter in the photo. I paid $29.95 at Canadian tire.
As the title clearly states, this is a Multimeter Review, not a tutorial.
I will have some Multimeter HOW-TO tutorials in the near future.
