ZT102 Multimeter (aka Aneng AN8002)

I was looking for a cheap multimeter for low voltage electronics and this seems like a reasonable deal. Not recommended for mains voltage. Cheapest price i can see was $8.99 for a coupon code a few months ago. Well reviewed.

Edited: oxymoron posted a $8.99 coupon in comments below. Coupon now expired.

Edit #2: if looking for a more expensive multimeter with better safety check out https://banggood.app.link/JY0wO3nYoJ . http://www.lygte-info.dk/info/indexDMMReviews%20UK.html http://lygte-info.dk/review/DMMUNI-T%20UT139C%20UK.html . Please do your research if you are using 240 volt though, I'm not an electrician.

Edit #3 not expired, see below comments can still buy for 9.99usd via your Personal email link or ozb add.

Edit #4 another coupon HNYear014

Edit #5 another coupon HNYear338 (thanks chibot)

      If you are doing anything anywhere near mains, please buy a fluke or similar. Specs of the fuse mean nothing, the construction of the plugs, the board, etc are critical. Checkout EEV blog and some multimeter teardowns if you want to understand why.

        As an EE, I'd really only trust Fluke for serious jobs. I'd rather live than save a few bucks.

        • myusername on 18/01/2018 - 14:03

          fluke ftw anyday!!!

        • abb on 01/02/2018 - 13:59

          Ehh, Fluke is like IBM used to be in the saying "No one ever got fired for buying IBM".

          Fluke gear is good, I have no doubts about their safety or quality (I own 2 myself), but there are plenty of other reputable brands.

          A Keysight U1241C 4.5 digit meter is rated to Cat IV 600V, and is about 1/3rd the cost of an equivalent Fluke (in my 30 seconds of element 14 research), for example.

          Since this is OzBargain, not OzElectronicsLab though, I will say that the Chinese Fluke 17B is good value (and I lived to tell the tale of using it on 415V distribution).

    Decent multimeter in its price range, the only way I can find out the charge of my lithium ion batteriies is with a multimeter! Powered by two AAs if memory serves correct, rather than a pricier 9V.

    • freddofrog42 on 03/01/2018 - 19:56

      Bought just for this. All my multimeters use 9V batteries and you can bet they're flat every time you need them!!

    • dufflover on 04/01/2018 - 00:22
      +1

      One thing I've noticed between my two DMMs (one 9V, one 3V based) is the continuity/short test uses the battery voltage as the input voltage. Or at least seems to going from how LEDs light up and stuff.
      If I'm working with ICs or other parts which may get damaged at 9V I deliberately use the 3V meter to test those.

  • sween64 on 03/01/2018 - 20:27

    Can you test the amps of USB chargers with this?

    • Russ on 04/01/2018 - 02:42

      Yes, but you'll need to cut a USB cable to be able to measure the current.

      This may be a cheaper and more convenient option:
      https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10017743/3644100-authent…

      May be even cheaper on Ebay. There are cheaper models with a single display that alternates between current and voltage, but I prefer the dual display ones. I have one permanently attached to my charger. You can read it from across the room, makes it easy to know when charging is complete, because the current drops to zero.

      • dufflover on 04/01/2018 - 12:21

        No way I'm using those plug in ones to test USB voltage and current if it's anything like those other ones. When I've compared it to an actual DMM the current draws are very different!

        • Russ on 04/01/2018 - 13:04
          +1

          Multimeters often have a big problem with current measurements - it's called "burden".

          Basically, it's how much resistance the multimeter has, on each of the current-measuring inputs. You can measure it by connecting two multimeters together - one measuring current, the other measuring resistance.

          On my Fluke 75, on the 300mA range, the resistance is 6 ohms. So if I put that in series with something drawing 250mA, there will be 1.5V dropped across the meter. For USB, that means there will be 5V-1.5V = 3.5V available to the load. That's not enough for USB devices, so you end up with an incorrect measurement and a non-operating USB device.

          Most multimeters have negligible resistance on the 10A range, but many multimeter leads have about one ohm of resistance, so it's still difficult to measure.

          This may be why your multimeter gives different readings. For accurate readings, you need a precision low-value resistor (maybe 0.1 ohms), and then measure the voltage drop across the resistor with a four-wire "Kelvin" connection to the resistor.

    • Russ on 04/01/2018 - 14:28

      Scratch that, today I just received the one I linked to, and it is particularly inaccurate. I have a few of them, different brands, and they agree to within about 2%. But the new one is about 20% low, don't buy the one I linked to.

      Also Fluke for reliability. Used one of these cheapies the other day and it measured a battery voltage of 63V. Impossible because the battery max Voltage was 56V.

      Used the Fluke and got the realistic reading of 54V. Threw the cheapie straight in the bin. It had one job.

  • dufflover on 04/01/2018 - 00:05

    I like the biggish display on this going off the pics but some of the comments seem to like features I'm pretty sure are on dirt cheap multimeters too, like the continuity buzzer.

    But I feel dirty in paying the same-ish price (if not slightly more) for a way more cheap-looking autoranging meter with hardwired probes >_< . Would rather be using this one for sure!

    No AC current (4th hole). Temperature is handy while camping.

    OP lists a UNI-T UT139C. I have this model and it's fine. BUT all other four UNI-T multi-meters in last 20 years have failed badly and fast. Two were so inaccurate I got money back as told it was a known fault. And one the main switch was faulty within months, barely works. Recommend give UNI-T a miss.

    Are there any alternate DMMs which are this style (auto-ranging/big-screen/AAA) where they are 6000 count instead of 2000?

    In hindsight (as always d'oh) I should've picked one of these up when cheap as I'd prob find the 6000-count functionality very handy! Doubt I'll ever use it for AC/RMS that is the focus of all the praise for the price point.

    • soupkitchen on 04/01/2018 - 17:59

      • dufflover on 04/01/2018 - 18:34

        If you own any old meters (or even old calculators) you see the left-most LCD digit can only show a "1". So a meter could show say "0.000" to "199.9" in say the mA scale. If it wanted to show 300, 400, 500, etc. it would have to show " .300" at the A scale instead.

        More so annoying if you have a manual ranging meter and cos it runs over 200mA you have to go change the range.

    Mine just arrived. Ordered 5 weeks ago @ us$9

    Takes 2xAAA.
    Very poor connection on leads plugging into unit. Opened up the case, and it looked ok inside.
    Seems the supplies probes just don't fit the meter. Turn it over and they fall out.
    So not great quality control.

    Am using the probes from my old meter, which do fit firmly.

    • S11 on 06/01/2018 - 14:13

      If you've opened it up, could you just close off the connections a little so they fit better? Crush/Crimp them so the fit is tighter? From what I've seen they're just cylindrical contacts.

      • bargaino on 06/01/2018 - 17:08

        That was my intention, but the contracts are thin and inside a rubber cylinder, which provides the compression when a larger pin is inserted.

        • S11 on 06/01/2018 - 19:23

          Thanks for replying, sounds like it may not be the best idea if it's using some sort of compression with the rubber to hold it in place. Guess I'll wait and see what it's like when it arrives, and maybe expand the pins on the probes as that may be easier.

          Not like it will be used on mains anyway, so a little damage can't hurt it (or me).

        • bargaino on 18/01/2018 - 14:21

          @xS415x:
