The NCV only beeps when it is right next to the live AC wire, I've noticed that on my 61e+. It is certainly not useful for identifying the presence of live AC wiring behind walls. Perhaps the use case uni-t is supporting is where an electrician has direct access to a potentially live wire. In that case the electrician needs to know if that specific wire is live, not just whether there is live wiring in the vicinity.

Or maybe the NCV on the ut61e+ is just garbage  :-//

rernexy only corner with label NCV works. But my cheapest $5 screwdriver can faster Identify the AC wiring. Also screwdriver can ident phase wire. For me, UNI-T NCV is a dubious function. This is only if the entire instrument is at home or garage and nothing else is at hand.
Per Hansson:
It is really out of touch how the D+ model has LoZ and temperature measurements when the E+ model lacks that but gets hFE to "compensate" geez!
rernexy:
hFE for a meter that is marketed as an "Electrician" meter too. I can't understand why electrician's would be concerned about hFE in their day to day work. AND you need that huge adapter to use it too.

OTOH only 2 days ago I did use the 61e+ hFE function. Yes, I actually used it.
It was to sanity check an npn BJT in a sot-89 package. Yes I'm a glutton for punishment.

Soldered a breadboard jumper wire to the collector, then plugged that in to the collector hole on the hFE adapter. Connected 2 breadboard jumper wires to the base hole and emitter hole on the adapter, then used those 2 as hand held probes on the sot-89.

 :phew: :palm:

No problem! You can simply throw the hFe adapter in the bottom of a junk drawer and forget about it.  :-+
