Seeking Recommendations for Auto-Ranging Multimeter Under 150 PLN

Question

Hello, which multimeter to choose? the price he wants to spend on him is max 150 PLN, preferably with automatic change of ranges.

antek1cza · Answer

Hello And of which It's best if your friend is familiar with the following and other information: 1. What good multimeter to buy? 2. Multimeter - what to buy? 3. What multimeter up to PLN 150 to buy? uni-t mastech A & V kyoritsu or another? 4. Which multimeter to choose? Read our guide! 5. What to suggest when choosing a multimeter? The fact some information is already a bit outdated (there are newer models) but generally suggest what to look for.

I looked at the multimeters and I was curious about the MY68 mastech and the prokskit MT 1710 and EnergyLab VC 97M, which one is worth attention?

Anonymous · Answer

Such topics are already pathetic. During the year, with 30 questions, what the meter for a hundred, half and a half ....

^ToM^ · Answer

At this price, there are basically no miracles. My opinion is always the same. If you have a choice, anyone who has an automatic range change will be better than normal with manual change.
At this price, there is not a large selection of machines.

Pzdr!

Normally great. Well, simply delicious. Make excavations from before seven or fifteen years and close the topic. We have 2017, would be useful for someone to recommend something new?

dyzio-dyzio · Answer

Which of these meters do you recommend and which ones measure the most accurately? Mastech MS8268 or EnergyLab AUTOMATIC MULTIMETER with hFE temp. VC97M (I know that mastech is more expensive)?

^ToM^ · Answer

Mastech YES, I definitely do not recommend UNI-T. Generally, it must be admitted that, by some miracle, this company has globally spread in the country and their measures can be bought even in the proverbial greengrocer's. However, in my opinion these multimeters are extremely crappy. One, more expensive model is damaged by one of the colleagues and in the second one 2x went to a complaint.
It is first of all necessary to pay attention to the fact that it is a machine and not a manual change of ranges. This will largely protect against damage if the measuring range is incorrectly selected.

Look here:
link

ST-914 Gross price: PLN 113.16
ST-202 Gross price: PLN 158.67
ST-204 Gross price: 183.27 PLN
ST-9926 but TRUE RMS Gross price: 183.27 PLN

There is not much, but something can be chosen. Attractive prices in my humble opinion. It looks much neater than UNI-T.
It is only from the offer of one accidental company. I do not know how much you want to spend. But as you can see, even for 100 zlotys something meaningful can be bought.

Still in Bial, look at:
VC86 - Gross price: PLN 103.32
link
and really a professional one, probably the most worthy of recommendation from all of the above mentioned:
VC97M - Gross price: PLN 127.92
link

However, Kyoritsu is well done, but more expensive, because here you have to spend on KEW1009 until: Gross price: 183.27 PLN
link
On Allegro, sometimes you can buy them cheaper, they are popular but very good quality.

The cheapest machines on the Allegro are:
link
Some Chinese brand is being sold at NEO, but the price is only 88 PLN gross
It has the big advantage that it has a separate power switch and not the knob as it is currently mostly made. I like how it is a separate switch, because then the range change knob lasts longer, because you do not have to spin it all the time.

The Mastechs are really good and at a good price, only PLN 110
link
link
For PLN 130, an interesting AXIOMET AX-105 model
link

Good quality tools are made by the Taiwanese company PROSKIT, so you can expect that the multimeter will not be worse, the price is 125 PLN.
MT-1232 Proskit
link
MT-1710 PROSKIT with True RMS, so really decent.
link

On the Allegro, there are also VOLTCRAFT meters. There is a lot of it, some of the outlets and some of the returns. It can be bought cheaply from refunds, but you have to make sure by buying whether the seller will not make problems with return and give so-called. start-up guarantee. I managed to buy a decent, all-in-one Voltcrafta worth normally PLN 250, that is, a machine with a huge, readable display for PLN 50 and turned out to be perfectly functional. You need to review Allegro in the field of VOLTCRAFT phrase in the Multimeters tab. We can not take the word 'storage lounger' literally. You need to be sure that they give you a start-up guarantee and a refund without giving a reason for at least 14 days.
From the cover, so a new one is, for example:
link
Voltcrafts are generally of medium quality and are quite well made for the amount you have to spend on it.

Greetings!

I see that the topic has grown a bit, so I will add what is not something:

They do not want to look for people. After this, the friend's post did not bring anything to the subject.

I think so too.

Dear friend:
a) this is just a hint and material to make up-read and if someone did exactly that, he would not have more questions or very little.
b) I did not close the topic (because I can not) but I suggested possibilities.

This statement is a claim and we help in this forum at the expense of other activities, so this wording is out of place. Nobody has to be here!
Or maybe a colleague will recommend something newer? Colleagues also do not contribute anything.

^ToM^ wrote:
Mastech YES, I definitely do not recommend UNI-T

Here I would not agree with a colleague because I have, among other things, the UNI-T UT58D multimeter and do not complain but actually it can be different.
After this time, the problem of spoiling the brand occurs over the years, ie the newer one is not better. Of course, this is not a rule.

First of all, pay attention

..... And so on . He made a friend ToM ^ @ ^ good job, friend @ Dyzio-dyzio and probably also more confusion in the head

Summing up:
A - Basic parameters of multimeters have been known for years.
B - The technology that aims to read as many parameters as possible (V, A, ?, W, F, C, Hz, etc.) quickly and accurately without loading the tested system.
C - Multimeters are hundreds and maybe more and can not be perfectly hinted, therefore it is important to know:
- technical parameters (in general) of what you want to measure?
- what will he need me for?
- what accuracy will be enough for Me?
- how often and where will I use it (durability)?
- how much can I give up for him?
Like a friend @ Dyzio-dyzio well acquaint with the above information and also those from posts No. 2, 5, 8, he will answer for himself.
There will always be someone who will praise or criticize various multimeters and this is not bad, it only makes a confusion in the head of a person who can not answer the questions I asked in pC above.
And let a colleague not care how he will make one or another choice and some forum members will criticize life for it

Thank you for all the advice and opinions , I looked at the meters that my colleague named ^ ToM ^, an interesting proposition worth considering , but I ran into the company's multimeter: TRUE RMS FORSCHER FS8215 UNIVERSAL METER is it worth paying attention to and how it affects the multimeters recommended by a colleague (except the automatic range).

dyzio-dyzio · Answer

I am sorry that I am asking, when it comes to the accuracy of multimeters, what does the case look like? The higher the percentage, the better or less (for the peasant reason).

korrus666 · Answer

The fewer the better.

dyzio-dyzio · Answer

Are the OWON D35T multimeters recommended? Is it better to look at something more familiar? And my question, how his data is for the VoiceKraft M890G meter (I use it now).

^ToM^ · Answer

I do not recommend, because for a rather nonchalant appearance, he does not have an automatic range change, which in my opinion disqualifies him. I recommend choosing something from the ones I have given above. Greetings! Added after 4 [minutes]: If you want to buy something for two hundred, it's better to buy something from SANWY. Looknij: link or other Sanwa models to filter out: link They are proven and decent products, of which the quality is confirmed here on the forum by many people.

dyzio-dyzio · Answer

Hello, which meter from given is better in terms of accuracy and in terms of strength: UNIVERSAL METER MS8268 MASTECH or MIERNIK UT61B.

Łukasz.K · Answer

It's best that it does not get damaged as we will inadvertently measure the resistor's resistance at 300V. Because without such a function, you will have to buy a new one for some time. I do not recommend cheap meters for Unit 30, because some time ago I have ruined it in the above way, unless someone is very careful and does not work on 300V voltage, then it is a good and cheap meter for him. Automatic range change is a very convenient function. It is worth paying a few dozen zlotys for this function if someone is planning to measure a lot. Measurement of the diode in the blocking direction and conduction is a very useful function, it can not be measured by the meter itself. Some of the high-end meters did not have it, and now I do not know how it is, but it is worth having this function in the meter in my opinion. I would pay more attention to the above features than to the accuracy of the measurement, because usually the accuracy of 1% is sufficient and the protection against damage protects our wallet from expenditure. I bought Metex NDN meter M-3860D in the old days, then it cost not a little but I do not regret this purchase, the only thing that broke me in it is the measurement of capacity, and I have it already 18 years. When measuring capacitors, they should be discharged beforehand.

Hello,
yesterday - quite by accident - in one of the supermarkets I came across the Pocket Multipurpose Meter MU-06M with automatic range change.
In the price below 35.- PLN -s, of course I liked this multimeter and I bought it.
Below the scans of the carton of its packaging once the User's Manual:

and photos of the meter itself (maybe not the best but done an hoc for the purpose of this post):

It is worth noting that this meter, small size ("box" after closing has dimensions; 115mm by 80mm and 19mm thickness) has a LCD display 3 and 3/4 digits and alternating AC voltage - it measures True RMS, and in addition has an automatic change ranges, but does not have the ability to measure currents.
In addition, this meter needs two AAA cells of 1.5V - relatively cheap compared to the Baby 9V battery, and used in most similar multimeters.

greetings

Thank you all for the hint, but I have just bought a meter from MASTECH, model: MS8268 on a well-known auction site.

I still have a question about the measuring cables; what should be the correct thickness (diameter) and length of such a conductor?
All wires are 0.75mm - 85cm (silicone), should not it be thicker in the order of 1.0mm - 1.5mm and shorter? (you know, you can earn some extra money

.

murza68 · Answer

Usually, the resistance of a typical measuring cable is up to several ohms, to the ideal 0ohm so quite far away. A large cross-section of test leads (and therefore a small resistance) is useful when measuring high currents or low resistances. In other cases, standard cables are enough. Added after 6 [minutes]: Yes, it's a nice measurer, it can measure up to 10MHz and up to 2mF. For this automatic ranges, permanently connected wires and TrueRMS. If it was to measure the current, it would be an ideal.

Thank you very much for all the hints the meter I chose is MASTECH MS8268
