The Difference Between UEi DL369, DL379, and DL389

These UEi meters may all look the same but they do vary one from another. I explain the difference between the UEi multimeters DL369, DL379, DL379b and DL389. In summary, the DL369 meter does not have the temperature function, a magnet, backlit display, work light, or a detachable amp head. The other meters in this series have all those features. The most expensive one, the DL389 also has true RMS which makes it the best choice for technicians who use their meter just about every day. I talk about more details on these meters in the video.

Have been using the 389 for 7/8 years now, never skips a beat other than when the batteries are almost dead (commercial HVAC use). Highly recommended.

@alanpetersen4615 3 года назад

I have the DL 389 and it is one of the best meters that I have ever had. I had a difficult time finding a meter that could measure DC amps, but this one does, and with all of the features, I simply love it!

@rhoodj 3 года назад

What about the DL489?

@houstonsmitherman6888 3 года назад

I just ordered the 369 only because the way I was trained I don’t really ever use the temp setting on my bosses meter so and the magnet and screen light up don’t bother me , but being relatively new to the trade I couldn’t afford a high end meter but for now the 369 will do just fine.

The reason why I like fluke is due to their reliability. They are well built and they and solid state pieces of equipment. I tried those you are showing right there and no luck. I remember trying to read a capacitor once and it would take forever compare to the fluke, the technician that was showing it to me told me to be patient. They might have improved now and they are better. However, I prefer the Fluke 902FC, has all those features plus Bluetooth, I use it for diagnostics of pieces of equipment that need to the data recorded in order to figure out what is wrong with the equipment. I don’t have a light or a proximity tester, no even a magnet, but for me it is more safe and reliable. I can even test ohms on live circuits with no problem. Just don’t leave it in there for too long, you might blow a fuse on your tester. I respect your opinion but remember, it is your life you are trusting to these pieces of equipment. To me would be like comparing a $5000 dollars smart tv to one of those droids tv that run for $500, sure it does the same thing and more, but does it do it better?

DL389B vs DL479T. Which one would be best choice? Please help

@TheWilferch Год назад

Looking at various meters. Interested in capacitance reading. One unit has this spec---> ± 4.0% of rdg + 5D. I get that the accuracy is 4% of reading......what does "+5D" mean?... Up to 5 decimal places readout?

@kkovler1 4 года назад

Do you know which one would measure dc (clamp on measurement) current up to say 15-20 amp?Dc current clamp on seems to make this meters get very expensive!

@WordofAdviceTV 4 года назад

To be honest I am not entirely sure but I always thought that these meters can measure both, AC and DC amps with the amp clamp. I don't remember the last time I checked DC amps though, so I can't say for sure which meters can or cannot.

@wesleyedwards6337 4 года назад

When I researched RMS my understanding of it is that you get a more accurate DC reading. Fieldpiece comes with RMS but I'm a UEI guy myself.

@robbrown3941 4 года назад

Wesley Edwards hey man. Have you ever had problems with any uei meters? I have a uei and considering getting a fieldpiece. But not sure I should. What problems have you had with UEI?

@WordofAdviceTV 4 года назад

@Wesley Edwards Yes, RMS is accurate for DC readings but TRMS (True RMS) is accurate for fluctuating or pulsating AC readings.

@wesleyedwards6337 4 года назад

So far so good. I wouldn't switch if I were you Rob Brown.
