Background: Two weeks ago, on a local FB market I saw a digital multimeter "
C.A. 5275". During this time, the price was reduced from 200 to 75 euros
apparently, this brand is not very popular in our area. Comes with original probes and holster. Because the price was quite low and I never had a "
Chauvin Arnoux" (or Metrix) multimeter (is anyone had?), I bought it out of curiosity.
The seller was in another city, so I couldn't test the multimeter.
Given the seller's strange Facebook profile, I resigned myself to the fact that I might not receive anything or something was wrong with the multimeter
In my multimeter, both fuses (630mA and 10A) were blown. After replacement, everything works. Extra 15 euros for fuses
During disassembly, I paid attention to the rigid connection of the probe terminals to the PCB. And (surprise, surprise) the common terminal was already loose. I had to solder it more securely. You shouldn't do this, if the PCB is in the case, the plastic bushings of the terminals melt very quickly.
Like:
The original probes are modular, quite long (1.5 m) with silicone wires.
Nice backlight.
"OFF" position on both sides! Yeah baby!
Do not like:
Not the fastest continuity measurement.
Flimsy mode switch.
