Seems to do almost everything. Measures

  • DC Voltage (V) 60mV/600mV/6V/60V/600V ±(0.5%+2)
  • AC Voltage (V) 60mV/600mV/6V/60V/600V ±(0.8%+3)
  • DC Current (A) 600μA/6000μA/60mA/600mA/6A/10A ±(0.7%+2)
  • AC Current (A) 600μA/6000μA/60mA/600mA/6A/10A ±(1%+3)
  • Resistance () 600/6k/60k/600k/6M/60M ±(0.8%+2)
  • Capacitance (F) 9.999nF/99.99nF/999.9nF/9.999μF/99.99μF/ 999.9μF/9.999mF/99.99mF ±(4.0%+5)
  • Frequency (Hz) 10Hz-10MHz ±(0.1%+4)
  • Temperature (°C) -40°C~1000°C ±(1.0%+3), Temperature (°F) -40°F~1832°F. Thermocouple is included.

and if all this isn't enough it also has NCV (a non contact voltage sensor) which enables you to establish whether a wire has current. Good for household DIY although don't use this as your only check. Unit is rated to CAT 3 and compatible with an AC/DC 60A clamp. Runs on 2 x AA batteries. The orange outer cover is rubber and is removable.

These things normally go for around $80 upwards in shops. Also I just got Supercheap Auto to price beat it down to $63

I only really needed DC voltage, Resistance and Continuity but hey, buy once, buy well.

    Can anyone comment on how fast the continuity on this is?

    I'm quite disappointed with my brymen 786 (eevblog) that is slow as to detect continuity. My $10 china special did a better job at continuity than my $300 brymen :/

    • Hugh Man on 28/09/2022 - 17:06

      I’ve been using this multimeter at work for about a year now. The continuity is pretty quick. There are some reviews on YouTube if you want to check them out.

      The NCV feature is pretty cool. The LCD backlight only stays on for about 10 seconds which can be annoying.

      One issue I did have was when testing for a short on a cable (very high resistance) this multimeter didn’t pick it up, but my coworker’s Fluke multimeter picked it up. But for the price it’s pretty good.

    • flipfire on 28/09/2022 - 20:44

      Sure its not the leads/probes? Dave did a video testing continuity/beeps with different probes and it does make a difference

  • slowmo on 28/09/2022 - 17:16

    is this overkill for someone starting out learning electronics?

    • RichardL on 28/09/2022 - 17:17

      Depends on your use case.

      Overkill would be purchasing a Fluke Multimeter.

      • slowmo on 28/09/2022 - 17:27

        i'm starting from zero knowledge about electronics, i know how to solder because i was used to resoldering things, but have never understood what each individual part or the theory behind it. so would be learning from scratch.

        doing this as a new hobby to avoid sitting in front of a computer screen. yet not sure if i should go for a tafe course, which is an overkill, and yes, i've done RPis .. it still isn't what i am looking for.

      I got one of these https://www.banggood.com/MUSTOOL-MT108T-Square-Waves-Output-… last august, half the price of this deal at the moment, I paid $20 back then.

      This was my first https://www.jaycar.com.au/low-cost-digital-multimeter-dmm/p/… 😁

      Depends on what your using it for as a hobbyist it be fine in a business environment where you need top gear you pay for it. Handheld i use flukes, desktop i use owon. All over $700

  • tunzafun001 on 28/09/2022 - 17:16

    SCA do a similar meter with a DC clamp meter for the same $60 odd. It was the cheapest DC clamp meter I could find (most are just AC).

    Clamp meter is useful to see if your solar panels are outputting what they should, and you don't need to undo a single thing.

    • mauricem on 28/09/2022 - 17:42

      AFAIK That clamp meter wont measure below 40A AC or DC. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/on/demandware.static/-/Lib…

      The UT210E will go down to 1A so much more useful for low current such as LED diagnosis for about the same price https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/153631664373

      • bamzero on 28/09/2022 - 17:58

        I'm pretty sure the SCA one will still do below 40A, just that the UT210E has a 2A range which will give you a more precise reading below 2A.

        • tunzafun001 on 29/09/2022 - 00:24

          Yeah that's it. The specs say 0.01A DC resolution at 40A. So it will go down to 10mA, looks like the UT201 resolution is 1mA.

      • Sillen on 28/09/2022 - 18:37

        +1 on the UT210E.

      • tunzafun001 on 28/09/2022 - 23:57

        Cheers for this. I was deciding between SCAs and the UT210E. The Fluke metres are outside my pay grade.

        Just looked at the SCA (which is a UT203)s specs. The DC resolution is 10mA, so also pretty good, but not as good as the UT210E with 1mA.

    • bamzero on 28/09/2022 - 17:56

      Yeh clamp meter is pretty useful. I have this one and there is a few other AC/DC clamp meters on there around the $50 mark.

      • tunzafun001 on 29/09/2022 - 00:02

        Cheers for this.

        Do you think the Austen's offers something else over the other two? They don't have the resolution specs on Amazon. Any ideas?

        Ironically I have $15 Amazon credit I need to use up, $15 SCA credit and $15 Ebay plus voucher.

        SCA one had the appeal of a store to return it to (I bought another "DC clamp meter " off eBay.. it's AC only of course, and does that poorly).

        • bamzero on 29/09/2022 - 00:53

          Guess it comes down to what you want to measure.

          The 210 would be best for low amp stuff with its 2A range if you want more precise measurements, but only goes up to 100A.
          The SCA (UT230) will do 400A and the Autens up to 600A (checked the manual, states 10mA/100mA resolution 60A/600A)

          It's rare I'd actually need more than 100A atm but I don't need high accuracy either, usually just rough measurements for solar and battery charging stuff so it would narrow it down for me to the 210E or Autens which does have a few extra features, temp probe, frequency, even a torch light :)

          When I got the Autens a couple of years ago I did compare some measurements against other meters and it was pretty close and I've been happy enough with it. There's a (very long) review of it here (goes by few other names Habotest or Kaiweets HT206D)

          (Actually just came across this one comparing against the HT203 (SCA), pity it wasn't the 201E)

          • tunzafun001 on 29/09/2022 - 11:06

            @bamzero: Cheers again mate. My EV has a 2.5kw 12v inverter, so can run 200 amps. So a possible 100+ amp testing scenario.

            Will check the vid, but think I'll go the Autens.

          • tunzafun001 on 30/09/2022 - 00:14

            @bamzero: Any thoughts on the 208D. Can get for $7 more (has in rush current, different screen… not sure if the screen is any better).

            • bamzero on 30/09/2022 - 00:34

              @tunzafun001: I only came across that one after seeing the 206D vids on YT, but yeh looks pretty good. Inrush would be useful and screen is supposed to be OLED and can also display secondary info. Apart from the YT reviews there was a little info on it here and it looks promising.

              Where did you find it for $7 more? (I'm assuming you mean over the $54 price) When I looked quickly before I thought it was going for around $30 to $40 more..

              • tunzafun001 on 30/09/2022 - 10:16

                @bamzero: I almost bought a 208D..but dug a little deeper.

                While the 208D seems potentially better on paper…it may not be.

                Apparently the IC in side is a cheapy "blob' type. The 206D is supposedly based on the Uni T board.

                The OLED screen (like any OLED) is poor out in the sun (ie checking solar panels).

                Someone did a YT vid test, and the DC accuracy wasnt great. Thinks he may have a dud. Apparently wrote to the company, but got no response.

                The Ebay price is within $7 ($66.99 was the cheapest I saw - as the 206D is mostly sold out and only the more expensive 206D sellers left).

              • tunzafun001 on 10/10/2022 - 17:08

                @bamzero: Just thought I'd add that the SCA clamp meter is rubbish for measuring capacitors. It only did 20nf (or something like that).

                So the other clamp meters listed here are much better for testing caps (something like 2mf).

  • AdosHouse on 28/09/2022 - 17:57

    Supercheap Auto also sell the same device for $85 if anyone has any SCA credit.

    I see nothing special on special. If you want accurately calibrated multi-meter that isn't a Chinese knock off look elsewhere. Also its not really on special or anything special about the brand. Not oz-bargain worthy, poor attempt really. Lets all post cheap Chinese brands brand that are $10 off lol

    Here's a much better deal : https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/194449711896
    This has better CAT voltage rating, and has indicators for which probe socket to use. Also has a torch !

    • Borg on 04/10/2022 - 12:36

      I bought that model just a few days ago. Here is a Review or also known as the Habotest HT118A. It gets decent reviews. It's quiet bulky so now looking for something a little smaller.
