BUT there is a manual mode, where it works quite adequately.
HABOTEST HT116 automatic multimeter in rugged smartphone form factor
It works like this:
The backlight naturally burns constantly, and the device consumes about 30mA, which I consider not the worst result, although the current can probably be slightly reduced without much deterioration in the brightness of the backlight. Brief summary: quite good, but in full automatic mode, the dialing is simply terrible. At the same time, even there the screen is readable, but the contrast is noticeably worse.
The tester has dimensions of 167x83x23 and a weight of 266 grams.
On the top is the power button, on the left side is the button to turn on the flashlight (it itself is on the back wall and traditionally shines badly), on the right is the auto-off lock button. Probes and thermocouple are larger: I liked this multimeter purely outwardly, so I could not resist and took it for review. Well, besides, there is a manual selection of the limit and max / min and relative measurements, and even a rather low resistance of the current shunt per mA – that is, the tester is quite good. Appearance: To be honest, this is the first time I’ve seen a dedicated button for this in testers. Of the "chips" I want to note https://jiji.co.ke/car-parts-and-accessories/nissan-teana the indication of the connection of the probes – opposite the sockets there are LEDs that light up when switching modes, suggesting where to stick these same probes. It lies pleasantly in the hand, the device is heavy and “knocked down” Viewing angles are excellent, with the exception of a "dead zone" at angles of about 15 degrees when viewed from above. The length of the probes is 95 cm, I will not measure the resistance, because the probes are obviously simple and thin.
Controls. 5 buttons on the front panel, well, one each on the side and top faces. Compared to other exhibits: I don’t consider it a problem.
Supplied in an unremarkable cardboard box, complete with a decent quality hard case, probes, instructions, thermocouple
