These are high count very specialized CAT III 600V only meters, with detailed calibration certificates.
Can they be made safer? Possibly, like most other meters. They do come though, with independent testing and meet current regulations.
There is always a premium on price when products are made in Europe and this one also comes with a meaningful 3-year warranty.
As for neodymium susceptibility, it is not very difficult to keep magnets at a safe distance and forego the use of magnetic holders.
It is a small price to pay, as nobody else yet makes a true 300,000 or 1,200,000 count portable meter and may never do.
So, enjoy them while you can, before they disappear completely, under pressure from Asian products.
I'm enjoying it all right. Next part, we will see just how robust that front end is.
I doubt the average person would take the time to see if a magnetic strap would effect their new high count, very specialized CAT III 600V only meters, with detailed calibration certificates. I personally would have never thought they would release such a product.
You're such a drama queen. So concerned with minute safety aspects. This from someone who rides motorcycles, probably without a helmet too. These meters have been around for at least 20 years, how many people were actually hurt by their Gossen magnetic hanger?
if you're so concerned with magnet safety, there is nothing preventing you from contacting the IEC to ask them to change their recommendations.
I guess that you have to find anything contentious with the expensive meters on test, to keep your audience amused, even at times openly disparaging a review made by the owner of this site. By the way, why is his face on the first frame of one of your videos? Riding coattails?
Any electrician worth his salt would know that relays can be affected by strong magnets and Gossen warns about such eventuality.
All I know is that I'm not about to throw my 30M in the garbage on the strength of your 'review'.
Have fun with the Ultra, but like the Energy, who doesn't know what the conclusion will be already?
As for the price, the Chauvin Arnoux MTX3293, also made in Europe, costs the same as the Gossen and you
only get 100,000 count.
