Is there a Amprobe document that provides troubleshooting tips on the readings you get with this meter?

I was getting all kinds of funky readings with mine before it fried. It was really the first time that I was checking a house of arc fault. Anyway after it burnt up i talked with tech support they don't have anything. And they told me that you can get many false readings. I won't be replacing it with the same thing

You will need to add a shunt for the amperage, but it should work. I would recommend encapsulating the back of the meter with clear epoxy to prevent damage from vibration.

Sorry Calvin, I think this a great meter, however, I only use it to check the voltage on my AA and AAA batteries and rechargeable batteries from Amazon..... Works Great ! Phil Pauls Valley, Oklahoma

Use what you got :), I would start by having it hooked up and take readings with my VOM to compare all hookups to verify accuracy of all readings.

I bought those too, the readings with the no-calibration strips still came out as 0.1's almost all the time with occasional 0.2's just like the first set of calibrated strips that I had bought with the meter originally. I'm an engineer and don't know exactly how they do it, but nanoscale manufacturing these days is doing amazing things so maybe the calibration sample is on the strip sub-microscopically and we simply can't see it. Just follow the instructions and be happy.

I also used a multimeter to figure it out. You'll have to insert a fuse before checking continuity, however.

U can also check out mjlorton on YouTube...he reviews the meter...great for the price.

Agree with John Schanben's answer, You can trouble shoot a circuit for breaks or shorts with a less expensive meter. If you like the advanced features, its a great deal. If you are doing basic continuity and readings, shop a little. I've got a few ten dollar to twenty dollar meters that are good for basic stuff.

Resolution and accuracy are two different things as you probably know. I recommend you go to the Amprobe website here to see for yourself the resolution and accuracy of the 510: http://www.amprobe.com/amprobe/usen/multimeters/am-500-digital-multimeter-series/am-510.htm?PID=74033

Yes I suggest you try a side by side test to make sure.You can contact their website with questions.I believe they make a meter also.

The meter package I purchased included the thermocouple accessory, which had a plug that would connect in the Red voltage(+) and Black (-) common receptacles. It would be possible to probe with the Red and Black test leads that comes with the meter directly to the leads of a J-K thermocouple for troubleshooting purposes. Otherwise you will need to to purchase the a thermocouple accessory from Kline.

There should be a meter which is pictured on the box. I think one disk that has 10 test strips and the tester and some lancets that go in the tester.

The reasons that I'm asking is 1) I'm new to using digital multimeters and I'm looking for one to use as a tool for checking bad capicators on computer motherboards.

yes, meter does not work very well, used for about 4 months and never was accurate, stopped using

Yes. I just tried moving the meter back and forth across some reflective tape about 3" away and it gave me readings in the 40 to 60 rpm range which was about right.

I have the sheet that came with the meter (Instruction Manual??) that is understandable by someone that knows about the product. The explanation given by xkenny52x is more understandable and there are instructions on the internet on how to use.

get some calibration solution and then dip the meter in it, hit the calibrate button then use it after it says saved
