Oh, I have an explanation. When you roll the dice, there is a certain amount of luck involved! :-DD |

I guess even within one revision of the meter you can't be sure what you are getting. Roll the dice.. --- End quote --- Those 4 MOVs are populated in the German version (which is down rated to CATIII 300V, CATII 600V). I think any UT61E manufactured after 2015 shares the same PCB design as the 'safer' German one. Image of the German version from earlier in this thread: |

...and below is how I received my UT61E 'Special Edition'... C8b is a capacitor on top of another and flux residue all over the place! :wtf: Am I the only one with a special edition ? :) |

5KY's was rated for CAT III 1000V, CAT IV 600V without the MOVs. It must be a safer version than the German one with the MOVs! Besides your meter having the MOVs, at a quick glance: PCB is marked different Metal can Cap next to metal can is mounted differently Slits in board near can are different Added pot near can Blue pot is backwards Q5/6 are larger package Fuses are sized differently (smaller parts used on higher CAT rated meter) --- Quote from: smithnerd on May 14, 2016, 08:01:21 pm ---Those 4 MOVs are populated in the German version (which is down rated to CATIII 300V, CATII 600V).

OK, so UNI-T is able to produce a good multimeter, but you cannot recognise it at the shop. :-- Oh, wait, you can buy an Amprobe meter, that is UNI-T design but with proper fuses, MOVs and PTCs. :P |
