    I needed a new meter for performing maintenance around the house because my old one died. I looked at lots of meters but based on your videos I decided to buy the UEI DL389B TRMS Dual Display Clamp Meter It is still in transit to me so I decided to watch this video again and I am even more happy that I got this meter. It is not the Pro + model but since I am only using it around the house so I am OK with that.
    Until I become fully comfortable with all the features of this new meter I will likely be watching this video again when the meter arrives at the house. I watch all your videos and am grateful you explain them so well. Thanks for another great video!

      I finally went to this video again to learn how to use my meter better. I read the instructions but forgot you made this video so I am back again many months later. Wow you did a great job explaining everything and I learned how to correctly use my meter. As I already said I do not use it often but when I do I want to know what I am doing so thanks!
      I have one question though: When you were testing the capacitors shouldn't you have advised to drain the capacitor by crossing the two terminals with a screwdriver before testing?
      Keep the videos coming! I watch them all.

    Thanks for the instruction on how to use the meter for boiler testing. I have been doing my own boiler repair with the help of my brother-in-law who is 250 miles away by phone. After watching your instruction on how to test the different functions of the boiler with your meter I now have a better understanding of what my brother-in-law is talking about. I also understand how to use my clamp meter which is a Klein CL 390. Thanks for the help.

The max/min button is going to be great to use, 38 years in the heating and plumbing trade, I’m just starting to do AC, you’re helping a lot, for me to learn, I have to understand the Why first, then it all comes easy because I know how it works, the rest is simple, your videos are helping me a lot.

    Trained by the Air Force in Basic Electronics tech school Keesler AFB right after Basic Training. Those were 8 hour days with block exams every week. Pass the exam with an 80 and move on to the next block or don't and repeat the week of training with the class coming up behind you. This was called getting washed back and was an ever looming threat as these skilled job slots were competitive. Wash back twice and you lost your guaranteed tech job and got put in a new specialty. Maybe fuels, security or as a cook. You're a good teacher. Hope you'll do more on actual component testing. Maybe spend some time using a white board to explain troubleshooting with a schematic. Now, explaining what an Ohm and a Farad and what Capacitance is, now that's an idea.

    The video helped me understand the meter. I am a homeowner and have some electrical issues. My light bulbs in the kitchen keeps going out. These are LED which should last some 13 years. It does not happen in any other area in the house. Also each time the HVAC come on, the lights dim.

    Excellent video! Two additional things that you might want to point out to your viewers.....the clamp and non-voltage contact setting usually only work on AC current, not DC direct current so the user still has to be careful when touching the wires as DC current may still be present and not detected by the tester. Also, may capacitors can still hold a strong charge several days/weeks after being charged so they should be shorted out by touching a metal screwdriver across the leads to bring the charge back to zero so the user does get a shock before testing them. All in all, a great and helpful presentation!

Living in England of course the voltage I have to contend with is 240,which is not to be fooled with at any time. Thanks for your guidance. Doing any electrical work is potentially dangerous,and should be emphasised all the time,that if you have any doubts about what you are doing,leave it alone,and call a professional!

    Nice video I guess 40 on the teaser. (probably wrong)
    In the Alarm business I have used my meter for just Voltage, mainly DC, I was happy to learn about the other functions of my meter! good job on this video I loved it.
    We use Diodes in access control to prevent reverse voltage on electric strikes and Ohms to just check the Resistors used in EOL devices like horn strobe NAC circuits.
    One tip on measuring Resistance - don't add the resistance of your fingers. Holding the resistors with your fingers will change the resistance measurements. And did you know you can stack resistors to get to your desired resistance, but you have to watch your AMP load is not higher than the resistors capability.
    After your video I may be in the market for a new meter!
    Keep up the good content!

    You have the best videos, I'm binge watching all of them.
    The answer to the teaser is 15
    5+5*2

    • @BeautifulHomes83
      @BeautifulHomes83 2 роки тому +1

      I just saw he is wearing red shoes
      That means 5+15*2 is 35
      But it's not clear if wearing red shoes is added or multiplied

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  2 роки тому +1

      Glad to hear you like the videos! 😄
      15 is incorrect and 35 is closer but also incorrect. I think besides the shoes you are still missing something else. It's a tricky one

    Diode feature: I use to check diodes. When connected to the diode it will display the voltage required to make the diode conduct. This can be from 0.5 up to 2 volts depending on the type of diode. Hook up backwards and make sure you do not get a reading. This can also be used to check Bijunction transistors.

    I was looking for a new meter - and I'm going with this one. Looks like a good product. Great presentation - but just so you know... the "upside down horseshoe symbol" - is an Omega.

    Video and explanations were great. The "upside down horseshoe" is the upper case Greek letter Omega. (Long O...OOOOmega...OOOOhms) The "backwards U" is the lower case Greek letter Mu (like Moo...what a cow says). It is the equivalent of an English M and being lower case it stands for "m...icro" in electronics terminology.
    I think the answer to the puzzle is 14. Thanks for the excellent teaching. I just got this meter although I have had another for a long time and only knew how to use some of the functions.

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  Рік тому +1

      Thank you for explaining what I didn't in the video! I am sure you will enjoy the new meter but as for the puzzle, 14 is incorrect. It's a tricky one.

    3 Duty Cycle uses that came to my mind quickly... Duty Cycle is used in HVAC for testing: 1) PWM blower motors (Constant Air Flow ECM). 2) PWM gas valves (Modulating Furnaces). 3) Simulated 3 Phase AC (Inverter compressor in mini-splits for an example)

  • @bahaminosman6398
    @bahaminosman6398 4 роки тому +2

    Nice one , I am really grateful, my answer to your question is 15
    10+10+10 =30 or (5+5)+(5+5)+(5+5)=30, 5+5+10=20, 4+4+5=13 or (2+2)+(2+2)+5=20 and 5+5*2=5+10=15

    • @WordofAdviceTV
      @WordofAdviceTV  4 роки тому +1
