Hello,
I received ut136b+ from China yesterday.
On diode test it will beep continously if DUT junction is shorted or BAD (According to the datasheet if the voltage drop on DUT less then 30mV).
It is a usefull feature for faster troubleshooting, when we are usually seeking for bad junction.
This meter is also hackable. Eg. Enable Range, Minmax, enable LED indicator, en/dis able beep and more.
I love this meter. I paid USD 13.5 (with voucher).
Thank you.
Hello, can you please explain how to hack this meter?
@@Mido0Rady yup we need a circuit comparison and a hack with 136b+ and 136c+
any link for how to hack it
@@akcoord9615 hello, i will tell u later when im home. This meter use Taiwan chip, not chinese dreamtech one.
First that 5 minute backlight is a HUGE improvement and great to see finally, so big kudos and thanks to Uni-t for that. Good meter overall nice size display and auto ranging , now I hope they fix the teething issues with the sketchy capacitance, lower continuity volume and missing continuity LED. The NCV is as almost always on most meters an afterthought - If they fix the rest its a solid winner-!
Spot on! It's close to being a super multimeter, but they have to fix a few nagging quirks, ie the aforementioned cap issue... Definitely the BEST lcd display I've seen in a long time!
Yep, if they fix just the capacitance, continuity volume and return the cont. light I will HAVE to buy one. I dont even judge a meters NCV anymore most of em just dont even try and make it work as it should. One of those "value added" things that add little value, most times anyway. Uni-T is still one of my favs most times. m
May I ask you for advice? I'm inclined to purchase this model because of NCV. Will it be able to locate hidden wiring in the wall? Not expecting it to be super precise (the goal is to safely drill walls without damaging electric network of unknown location). Thanks!
Great review! Mine 136b (without +) have some problems with capacitance too. So, IMHO, 136b+ looks better with backlight and aa battery's. Hope uni-t fix issues.
Indeed, It's a great meter, UNI-T just needs to work out a few kinks! Thx for the feedback..
@@KeepOnTesting i bought this multi-meter after your review capacitance do not measure higher the 500 micro farad any way to fix the problem by your experience of circuits or can you please contact uni to give you away to fix this problem i really appreciate that

Entertaining, Informative and well done. Love these reviews.
Many Thx TopDog!
nice review, can you do a review on the new UT133A auto range palm size meter?
Definately! I have one en-route...looks like an interesting dmm! Keep On Testing!
I think part of why the switch is better in the newer one is its auto ranging and the detents are further apart, the manual ranger they are right next to each other.
Good point ...that added space will definitely make switching ranges alot smoother!
Went for this model as a budget multimeter for pretty basic home use. I was choosing between this one, UT890D+ and UT39C+. I really liked UT39C+ but this model had nominal capacitance measurement up to 40mF, lower price and auto range. I wish I'd seen actual tests beforehand.
Still it's a decent cheap-o-meter for $19.
Agreed..its a capable multimeter and built fairly rugged...absolutely great price 👍 too!
@@KeepOnTesting Hi Darren! I'm trying to find a new meter now for regular use. What do you think, which would be the better pick: UT136B+ vs UT125C? Is there another choice in this price range?
I like how you take the things apart, but what kind of deal do you have worked out with UNI-T that you keep getting new multimeters all the time?
I have no deal with UNI-T. I purchase all of their multimeters out of pocket. Thx for watching!
I am so happy to hear that! It can be difficult (to say the least) at times to discriminate between an un-biased review and a, um, shall we say "sponsored appraisal".
My inner cynic will sleep well tonight.
Thank you for the reviews!
@@fourbanger83 I do have some Multimeters sent in for review,and I always make mention of that in the review. However, on this channel it has ZERO input on the outcome. I gave a couple of less than stellar reviews for some Allsun multimeters that were sent to me..I have not heard from Allsun since 😀 This channel is for the end user not the brand, to me they are all test instruments and treated equally. That's why I love this gig..its exciting and you never know what to expect! Thx for watching.
Nice review. Have you ever looked at a Fluke 101? It’s about $45 on eBay or Amazon. I don’t know if that’s too much for the cheap multimeter class or not. 👏🏻👍
You know, I think it's worth venturing into at that price...excellent idea!
Hey are you planning to do a Best of CHEAP-O Multimeter for 2019?
I am indeed...end of the year..stay tuned!
@@KeepOnTesting Cool
thanks a lot for the great video
Glad you liked it!
Price point is definitely good on this unit.
Priced right for sure., a bargain really!!
UNI-T Fan boys rejoice ..😀👍
which is better UT136B + or Proskit MT-1236 ?
Both are good multimeters..though I would lean towar🤗d the UNI-T 😀👍
@@KeepOnTesting Thanks for your response, I worry that it does not measure the capacitance well.
Good videos ..
How to use VFC function (Variable Frequency Conversion) on a multimeter?
Hi Darren,
Does it generate a beep when measure a good diode (not LED) ?
(Like the ut89x xd).
Thank you :D
No, the UT136B+ does not beep on a good diode..too bad!
Wow nice review🤓👍🇦🇺🐨
excellent job.
Thx my friend! Big UNI-T Week coming soon on the channel...along with Prizes and Giveaways! Stay Tubed!
Its like the capacitor glitch was fixed because i saw another video were they tested upto 10000uf capacitor.. please confirm if its fixed?
Yes mine has outdated firmware 😊
Thanks for another review.
Please do a review on the OWON B33+ (+-30$ in AliExpress for a bluetooth multimeter... looks interesting).
Added to the list! Thanks for the feedback.
How macher r12 inuni-t36B+
Now, let's get one thing out of the way. You say 'on the old one', as regards the 'manual' range selector, it's 'quirky', but, the manual dial selector, has way more steps on it's dial, than the 'auto range' model, so the 'click' factor is just not gonna be the same, less stepping etc. ;) lol ;), and blue led did light ;)
Noted! I was referring not so much to the amount of "clicks" being utilized. No, it was more about the overall tactile response and feel of the Rotary Select switch. The 136B+ is just more pleasant to move, has a more precise feel and is much better behaved than its manual ranging brethren.
@@KeepOnTesting No worries m8 :) Great review as always :), and I've just added this little gem to my cart as a result, cheap as chips, and well worth having in my ever growing maze of tools :D
@@scaramonga Glad to hear it ! She's a charmer and should put a smile on your face! Chips sound good right about now 😀
16:09 Does it work with alkaline batteries only?
Or it also works with rechargeable AA batteries?
I haven't tried but I'll let you know..
i bought this multi-meter after your review capacitance do not measure higher the 500 micro farad any way to fix the problem by your experience of circuits or can you please contact uni to give you away to fix this problem i really appreciate that
Its funny that the reviewer ignore all bad comments on the unit Lol..the only thing he reply is the good one ...dont buy this meter is junk one
@@rcellduracell3791 actually darren answered all my previous comment on other products as i said i already baught this meter as ahobby i am not a professional i just know that u can hack uni-t multimeter so i asked for help may be this one is tuff to hack i bought also ut116a and i am thinking about ut123d cheap one but good quality for the money
max hz is 40mhz?
Correct.
هل البطاريات التى تنزل معه ونوعهاسوبرسل هل يعادشحنها
Yes, it ships with regular batteries. You could use rechargeable if you have them.
Please what does CAT II and CAT III means
These are different safety ratings. Generally the higher the CAT the safer the meter. Home/Residential is CAT II More info here: www.keepontesting.com/post/multimeter-input-protection
Muito bom multímetro,👍
It's a semi auto range?
It's a fully AUTORANGING multimeter 👍
Seems. It's not accurate in terms of capacitors measuring
Have true rms?
Negative
nice
👍Appreciate it!
