I recently bought one out of curiosity, well it was under another name, if I'd known at the time it was Uni-T I would have been less curious...
The idea behind the thing isn't that bad and it feels as with a lot of Chinese equipment they got the job half done.
It's a 4000 count DMM built around the FS9721 on front PCB. The back PCB takes care of power supplies, scope (ADC, gain/attenuation), the display and scope functions are mainly FPGA based, a NXP MCU reads the FS9721 serial data before display on LCD. It also reads the keyboard and links to the scope functions.
First problem found:
Negative offset on scope from -150 to -500mV depending on range with ramp-up, also displayed on multimeter DCV reading and measurable at the input sockets.
I expected some form of contamination (usually battery leakage). All I noticed was that both PCB's were covered in white flux residue. They both got a thorough wash leaving them with a clean look.
Offset problem was unchanged so I had to start real troubleshooting. After the function switch the V input branches off in parallel (not switched as the scope uses the DMM,s voltage reading) one side to the FS9721 10MΩ input the other to the scope's 10MΩ input (so yes, that's a 5MΩ input).
Ended lifting both 10M resistors, the voltage was coming neither from FS9721 nor from scope input yet still measurable on input sockets.
The problem turned out being conductive solder flux (not rosin based) accumulation under a header interconnecting both PCB's. There was leakage between 3.3V supply and input signal.
Now this is solved I have a question to other owners:
Can anyone confirm the scope is DC coupled only on this meter?
Changing to AC in DMM mode will make the scope display AC voltage values but trace still displays any DC voltage at input. I can't see anything obvious on PCB that would be used for switching a DC blocking capacitor.
Now I've found another problem to tackle:
It came with Ni-MH batteries and a 6V adapter.
The manual doesn't mention anything about in-meter charging only that power is batteries or adapter.
Adapter is working but won't supply the meter... I'll look into that soon. I'd like to know if it is meant to charge the batteries though.
