Frequently Asked Questions - UT161E Uni-T
How to measure DC voltage with UT161E?
Turn the rotary switch to the V-mV position (DC). Connect the black test lead to COM and red to VΩ. Touch probes to the circuit. Read the value on the display.
What is the maximum voltage the UT161E can measure?
The UT161E can measure up to 1000V DC and 750V AC. Do not exceed these limits.
How to test continuity with UT161E?
Set the rotary switch to the continuity/diode position (usually with a sound wave icon). Connect test leads. If resistance is low (< 50Ω), the buzzer will sound.
How to replace the batteries in UT161E?
Remove the battery cover on the back. Replace with two 1.5V AAA batteries, observing correct polarity. Reattach cover.
Does UT161E have an auto-ranging function?
Yes, the UT161E features auto-ranging for most measurements, but you can also set ranges manually using the RANGE button.
How to measure current with UT161E?
Turn the rotary switch to the appropriate A position (AC/DC). Connect the red lead to the A or mA/µA terminal depending on expected current. For currents > 600mA, use the 10A terminal. Always break the circuit and connect the meter in series.
What safety precautions should I take when using UT161E?
Always observe the CAT II 1000V / CAT III 600V rating. Do not measure voltages above the rated limits. Use proper test leads. Inspect the meter and leads for damage before use.
How to measure frequency with UT161E?
Set the rotary switch to Hz position. Connect the test leads across the signal source. The frequency will be displayed. For voltage signals, you can also use the Hz button in voltage mode.
What does 'OL' mean on the display?
OL stands for Overload. It indicates the measured value exceeds the selected range. Switch to a higher range or use manual ranging.
Can the UT161E measure temperature?
Yes, with the included thermocouple probe. Set the rotary switch to Temp position. Insert the thermocouple into the unit. Touch the probe to the object. Read the temperature in °C or °F.
