New ANENG Q1 9999 Counts ?
MacMeter:
@Joe:Don’t test one on my account, as my first two Aneng’s are good enough.
The fault you found with the “magnetic hanger” test was CRAZY interesting. Granted the odds might be great, but under the right, or I should say wrong circumstances, having a mode change reset due to a magnet could be cause for a bad day. Something Dave could test in a minute since he has this model now.

What is it you would want to see? We could try to see where it breaks down at. Dave could have used his HV supplies to at least make sure it could handle the same levels as the 121GW. I suspect you can get it to change states with a magnetic hanger like the Gossen.

How about testing it to see if it can give a dangerously incorrect reading if the relay is flipped, like the Gossen does?
(I suspect that this one won't, that the AC voltage range will be unaffected...)

I thought Dave said the voltage mode is direct fed and that same node goes off to the relay. If the relay changes with a high current, high voltage source, as I mentioned you may get a light show. The Ultra may do the same thing. But this meter should not behave like the Ultra where it displays a low voltage when the relay changes states.

Just a really bad design IMO. The standards should not allow this marketing wonder to exist and the engineers should have known better.
stj:
if they had used green led's they would be good until the cpu shut down!
does anybody know the type of fuse they used?
daves video is his usual casual not-thinking type.
stares at the ceramic - "no markings on the fuse".
you would think he would know that ceramics are rarely marked because the details are stamped/etched on the endcaps.

Hi and here is old kind of cen-tech meter that blow whiile i was trying to measure AC volts in most high AC scale on one mains socket in my house , that was laying around on my garage. The last thing i remember is the number 1535 and then a "bang" .
It seems that a PTC was blown , the Voltage input trace was also blown, detached from the PCB and of course it doesn't work. On the back there are remains of the explosion. Makes me think that a similar construction is so susceptible to spurious transients on the AC.
Its a free meter maybe but also a free explosion
