Appa iMeter 5

kk99

Here is short presentation of battery replacement in my small portable digital multimeter: Appa iMeter 5. I really like this portable digital multimeter. Only one cons of this multimeter is that no True RMS functionality and small range of capacitor measurements. Please share what is your favorite digitial multimeter in comment ?

    Metex was doing very good multimeters I remember this model: METEX M-3800.

    According the the screwdriver set I bought it on aliexpress and it is very good made.

     

    Here is also short presentation of Appa 61:

  • Hi kk99,

     

    My favorite (or only) multimeter is a Metex M-3850.  It has all the normal measurement features, but includes a serial connector so you can log readings to your computer.  This seemed like a really great feature when I bought the meter, but I have only used this feature a few times.

     

    I really do like the screwdriver set that you are using to change your batteries.  I bought one of these about a year ago, after my previous set kept round off the tips (cheap metal tips with very poor chrome plating).  These new tips are very hard and keep their shape very nicely.

    Hi John,
    Exactly, it is kind of an Ipod for Electronic engineer image. I use mine for quick checking e.g. circuit continuity or basic measurements. For more accurate measurements I am using this one: Sanwa PC5000a.

  • Hi kk99,

    Interesting small meter. Kind of reminds me of an iPod. My favorite meter right now is a Uni-T UT71-C.  It has a lot of nice features, is moderately priced and easy to use. The down side is that it isn't as small and convenient as yours.
