Review on ⚡️ UNI-T UT204+ Digital 600A AC/DC Clamp Meter Multimeter with True RMS, Non-Contact Voltage Detection and Electrician Current Measurement - Anti-Burn, Anti-Misread by Jon Manning

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Easy-to-use and very useful clamp meter

I've never had a clamp meter before, so I ordered this Uni-T UT204+ because I was diagnosing problems with the fridge in my RV. and DC), but also works like a normal DMM. It comes with a very decent set of sensor wires and a thermostat wire. I compared the multimeter's capabilities to my existing multimeter and everything reads almost the same. The thermometer function works great and I checked the current draw of my RV fridge heater. element, and he's definitely read about it. It's set to DC mode by default, but you can switch to AC mode by simply pressing the yellow "Select" button. You can also use this button to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit when taking the temperature. It has a hold button to capture your measurements and the dial is easy to use with your thumb on the side of the device. This Uni-T meter comes in a rugged case. Cardboard box and a very nice carry case that also contains the sensor cables and thermometer cable. The only negative thing I noticed is that the instructions supplied are only in Chinese. However, it's so easy to use that you really don't need a manual, plus you can download manuals in English or other languages just by googling the model number. There are also many videos on YouTube that explain in detail how to work with this meter, and by the way, this is a very popular meter. If you don't download instructions, be aware of one important thing: insulated live wire, you can only test one wire at a time. Assuming you have two AC power cords going to a heating element, if you pinch both cords you will see zero. You only need to clamp one wire at a time to get accurate readings. I've seen people complain that their pliers didn't work and they probably clamped more than one wire at a time. I am absolutely thrilled with the Uni-T pliers. This is a great addition to my desktop and I highly recommend it. It's also listed at a lower price than I've seen them for sale elsewhere.

Pros
  • HIGH PRECISION READING: It has a high-precision induction current measuring head, multiple gears to choose from, and the response is very sensitive, no matter how small the current is, it can be accurately determined. The 600A DC current measurement is unique to this product. At the same time, the LED backlight design of this product can turn on the backlight when there is not enough light to make reading clearer.
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
