FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1. Is this an auto-ranging or manual-ranging meter? The UT890D+ is a manual-ranging meter, giving the technician full control over the measurement scale.

2. What is the "Live" function used for? It allows you to safely identify live wires vs. neutral wires in electrical wiring by inserting a single probe into a terminal.

3. What is the benefit of a 6000-count display? It offers higher resolution than standard 2000-count meters, allowing you to see smaller changes in values (e.g., 5.999V instead of 5.99V).

4. How does the NCV feature work? It detects the presence of AC voltage behind walls or in outlets without needing physical contact.

5. Can it measure transistor gain? Yes, it includes a dedicated hFE test socket for measuring the gain of NPN and PNP transistors.

6. Is it a True RMS multimeter? Yes, it uses True RMS to provide accurate measurements of non-linear AC signals.

7. What batteries does it require? It uses 2x standard 1.5V AA batteries.

8. What is the maximum capacitance it can measure? It features an exceptionally high capacitance range of up to 100mF (100,000 uF).

9. What is the maximum DC current it can measure? It is rated for up to 20A DC current measurement (fused).

10. Does it have a backlight? Yes, it features a clear backlit LCD for working in dark environments.

11. What is the purpose of the REL button? It allows you to zero out lead resistance for more accurate low-resistance or capacitance measurements.

12. Is it safe for industrial power work? Yes, it carries professional CAT II 1000V and CAT III 600V safety certifications.

13. What is the update speed? The high-resolution display updates approximately 3 times per second.

14. Does it have an auto-power off? Yes, it includes an auto-off feature to conserve battery life during long tasks.

15. What happens if a fuse blows? The meter features a specialized alarm to notify the user if the internal protection fuse has blown.

16. Can it measure temperature? No, the UT890D+ model does not have a temperature function; consider the UT890C if you require a thermocouple input.

17. What is the frequency range? It can measure signals typically up to 10MHz.

18. Does it measure AC current? Yes, it measures both AC and DC current up to 20A.

19. What color is the housing? It features the signature professional UNI-T red and black rugged housing.

20. Is this suitable for beginner hobbyists? Yes, it is very user-friendly while offering professional features for more advanced circuit repair.
