content: I proud of myself, I guessed correctly.I won't spoil it for anyone, but will give a small hint. It's probably more useful to me than it should be.

content: I see a clamp meter mode and safety shutters on the jacks.Not sure what the yellow thing under the power button is, a bit hard to see. Given the colour obviously to do with the safety shutter.Guess I should check out the datasheet now...Dave.

content: Well I have record in my memory , the words of David , at the Metrawatt review ," every one should had this " ( safety shutter )And by getting to Pros Kit , to find any information for my very old one , I fall over it .Now, we have to find the third manufacturer who will follow this path too.But hey ... wait a minute ... if it is patented ? who owns the patent ??

content: A few companies use a safety shutter, I noticed some craftsman meters while in walking around in Sears that do as well... examplehttp://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_03482175000P?prdNo=23&blockNo=23&blockType=Now to find a meter that has multiple voltages for testing diodes and LED :>

content: Quote from: McPete on July 07, 2010, 08:59:20 pmI think they should send one to Dave for a full evaluation.I've used Yokogawa equipment before, and I know at one time Omega re-branded a Yokogawa data recorder.I like the shutter idea - one question, I can see that the shutter prevents one from connecting a lead when the meter is in a current setting, but if the meter were in a current setting, with leads connected, would the shutter mechanism prevent the switch from moving to "voltage" as long as leads were connected?

content: Quote from: Excavatoree on July 09, 2010, 12:43:07 pmThat's how the Gossen meters work, and it's a very nice system.In fact I find myself using the Gossen more and more, particularly for current measurement (the single fuse system is brilliant), it sure is a very nice meter.Dave.
