UT210E - multimeter for the installer?
- allows you to determine the presence and direction of 10mA currents without disconnecting the circuit (clamps range 2A DC)
- the shape of the meter makes it easy to fit in a pocket
- when measuring voltage, the multimeter can be hung on the clamp
- NCV - detection of live wires
- backlit display
- 2xAAA power supply
- capacity measurement
It would be ideal if the multimeter could fit an LED flashlight, a pair finder and a LAN tester with a detachable generator, but then it would probably be difficult to keep the current dimensions.
For small current values, in the order of several milliamperes, the measurement is approximate, but it can be useful in identifying cables.

Display backlight is average but helpful:
The multimeter allows you to measure capacitance, which is rarely useful for installation work, but sometimes it can be useful when examining a capricious bus:
Measuring ranges:
DCV 200.0mV, 2.000V, 20.00V, 200.0V, 600V
ACV 2.000V, 20.00V, 200.0V, 600V
DCA 2.000A, 20.00A, 100.0A
ACA 2.000A, 20.00A, 100.0A
R 200.0om, 2.000m, 20.00mom, 2.000Mom, 20.00Mom
C 2.000nF, 20.00nF - 200.0uF, 2.000mF - 20.00mF
Diode and continuity test
Do you use tools that work well for installation work? What are the device models?

I also own this model and I am very proud of it. Interesting equipment at an affordable price. For me, a very useful resolution up to 1mA (for DC!) And really decent accuracy. In the case of this meter,... [Read more]
In the previous company, I used the following finder: Fluke Networks PRO3000 https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/7378713400_1518937424_thumb.jpg (photo from Amazon) It has a short-circuit test and can... [Read more]
It must also be added that it switches itself on in the case and discharges the battery. [Read more]
Never in the life of UNIT. I bought a UT61E. I connected to the computer and ... and it was already in this mode. It thinks it's connected all the time even though everything is disconnected. What... [Read more]
Specifically, the UT61E model does not natively switch off, which is no secret - the optical (unidirectional) output for recording measurements is active all the time - for me, it may not be ideal in this... [Read more]
@SPEAKERS_XP the aforementioned 1mA resolution allows to detect the activation of the PIR detector (relay + LED), the 1mA resolution has little to do with 1mA, but in practice it is helpful. [Read more]
You seem right. On closer inspection, it looks like this meter does not have an automatic shutdown. It does not change the fact that in any measuring instrument with battery power it should be at least... [Read more]
I use this meter sporadically. Advantages: - functionality at a good price - 1 mA resolution Disadvantages: - current measurement accuracy. Once I wanted to measure the power consumption of the car... [Read more]
And you often have to reset this multimeter in DCA mode? I have a Mustool MT866 and after turning on the DC current measurement, it shows several dozen mA for good morning, then it will drop a bit, but... [Read more]
Often :) You must also remember to zero it in the same position in which you will make the measurement. [Read more]
@metalMANiu thanks for the answer. I was planning to buy this Unit but I think I'll let it go. [Read more]
Some larger Mastech in service for 15 years. Battery and cable replacement basically. Overall, the disadvantage is its size. Some UT20A is enough for me. Inexpensive and sufficient accuracy of measurements.... [Read more]
And what happens with clamp meters when the ACA / DCA measurement range is significantly exceeded? In common knowledge, it will either blow the fuse if it has one, or the meter will go up in smoke. And... [Read more]
I've had the UT-61E for at least 8 years (I don't know exactly how many years, but for sure over 8), it doesn't have an auto shutdown, I was looking for one on purpose ... spent a few days... [Read more]
I have a UT-61C, I have an auto switch-off that works great. [Read more]
Hello The UT210E meter can be modified to some extent by editing the external eprom memory. It is based on the DTM0660 chip. Below are some links Russian forum detailed descriptions A similar... [Read more]
@LightOfWinter it's a curiosity, the question is whether changing the count from 2000 to 6000 makes sense while maintaining the same elements "surrounding" the main multimeter circuit? Maybe someone... [Read more]
