If yes, why? -Didix --- End quote --- Hi, since i own the both multimeters, here's my 2 cents: The UT61E feels much more responsive, the autoranging speed is faster than the UT139C, especially for measuring resistance. The continuity tester is also slightly faster on the UT61E. If you ever need data logging capabilities (i do) the UT61E comes in really handy. I have used this multimeter with voltages up to 220 V AC while doing some basic electrical maintenance without a problem. On the other hand, the UT139C has better input protection, backlight, temperature measuremenr (only 1 degree resolution), NCV, low pass filter, and current clamp capability (up to 60A) which comes in handy while doing electrical work. I use this meter mainly while i am on field work working on automation equipment and cabinets. Having said all that, the UT61E is better suited in lab environments working with "low voltage" electronics e.g. MCU's, PLC's or other types of digital control (or similar) ELECTRONICS, while the UT139C is better suited for ELECTRICAL work. If the missing data logger and the slightly slower autoranging of the UT139C are not a deal breaker for you, go for that one. Both meters are great value for money so you won't make a mistake with either of them. --- End quote --- Hi Goce, The continuity tester on the 139C is lightning fast and latched. Only issue is if you have pitted and/or dirty leads, which they usually are even when new out of the box. Cleaning them with contact spray helps a lot. The 139C is definitely for electrical work and not so much for electronics. UT61E is the champion in that domain. |

The GS version has better input protection but has a lower CAT rating. The information is here on the forum somewhere and in this thread I think. After having both the UT61E and the UT139C I recommend the UT139C instead, if you don't need the PC connection. --- End quote --- LA, did you try the 5000V insulation tester on your 139C? |
