Just got one. Ordered a version with banana plugs, got the one with green "phoenix" connector, which is the most sold version it seems. Just be aware of it. It does look like I got an "original" Emeco, not a clone.
My remarks:
Pro:
* Current setting is cautious. The actual current, when limited, is about 25-50% lower than set on the dial. The current spikes just before it goes into limiting are however pretty close to, but not exceeding, the set current. I like that. In the low setting (200uA), mine spikes to about 190uA, and settles at 140uA. Much better than my Brymen BM878 insulation meter, that has this the other way around. It's current spikes are 250% of the advertised 1mA limit (which is already too much for my taste).
* Voltage reading is pretty close to what my other meters say.
* The Volt meter autoranges: at lower voltages, the reading is XXX.X instead of XXXX. So this is not needed:
I think I would add a switch to the voltage divider for a X10 reading. Most of what I do is lower volts.
* The battery charge circuit looks basic, but at least it's not a close-to-zero-cost trickle charger, it switches off when the battery is full. The absence of a properly placed lens or hole for the charge indicator led is not a problem: it is bright enough to be noticed.
* The manufacturer does seem to improve the product over time: mine has a dab of silicone over one of the caps (C3) in the HV section, and some plastic coating in places, that did not seem to be there in earlier versions (example: the picture above).
Con/remarks:
* If you want to replace either the banana sockets or the "phoenix" connector with shrouded banana sockets: not enough space inside. Will have to do that differently.
* The "phoenix" connector seems to be a low quality clone. I removed the non-used pin to increase spacing, but even the slightest contact of my correctly temperature controlled hakko desoldering iron to the pins melted the connector's plastic. Anyway, not a biggy, just be extra careful if you want to have a go at it.
Fun:
* You can use this tool to visually show the self healing of X2 caps. Just take an old Rifa cap, slowly crank up the voltage to make it spark (internally). The cap recovers, and you will see it spark elsewhere when you raise the voltage. Nice.
