00:00:00.256 --> 00:00:02.176
Hi, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van

00:00:02.176 --> 00:00:05.589
Freedom. This is my AstroAI two-thousand-count digital

00:00:05.589 --> 00:00:07.936
multimeter. I used it for testing wires

00:00:07.936 --> 00:00:09.171
and have no complaints.

00:00:09.210 --> 00:00:10.426
At the time of my review,

00:00:10.490 --> 00:00:11.770
I had owned it for about two

00:00:11.770 --> 00:00:13.306
to three years and was still using

00:00:13.306 --> 00:00:15.226
it. It continued to work well,

00:00:15.226 --> 00:00:16.975
with no problems or defects in my

00:00:16.975 --> 00:00:19.343
use. The matching product picture shows the

00:00:19.343 --> 00:00:22.756
display, rotary selector, lead sockets and test

00:00:22.756 --> 00:00:25.316
leads. The A M thirty-three D model

00:00:25.316 --> 00:00:27.844
family uses manual range selection.

00:00:28.067 --> 00:00:30.052
The selector has different positions for different

00:00:30.072 --> 00:00:31.801
measurement functions and ranges.

00:00:31.907 --> 00:00:33.998
That control arrangement is a useful part

00:00:33.998 --> 00:00:36.317
of comparing this meter with another model.

00:00:36.458 --> 00:00:39.018
My roof-wiring photographs show a grouped wire

00:00:39.018 --> 00:00:41.750
connection and the larger cable-entry enclosure.

00:00:41.877 --> 00:00:43.520
The diary records stripping,

00:00:43.541 --> 00:00:45.973
joining and routing wires through glands and

00:00:45.973 --> 00:00:48.362
sections of conduit before the route entered

00:00:48.362 --> 00:00:51.186
the van. These photographs document the physical

00:00:51.250 --> 00:00:53.639
wiring work. They are the build context

00:00:53.639 --> 00:00:55.260
for my separate account of using the

00:00:55.260 --> 00:00:56.712
meter to test wires.

00:00:56.839 --> 00:00:59.100
The measurement controls and the wiring route

00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:01.640
have different jobs. The meter's display and

00:01:01.640 --> 00:01:03.155
test leads provide a reading,

00:01:03.219 --> 00:01:05.523
while the roof enclosure and conduit organize

00:01:05.523 --> 00:01:08.253
the physical route. My product reference identifies

00:01:08.253 --> 00:01:12.230
voltage, resistance, continuity and other selectable functions.

00:01:12.451 --> 00:01:14.969
The workshop clip illustrates general measuring and

00:01:14.969 --> 00:01:17.209
holding work rather than a particular electrical

00:01:17.230 --> 00:01:19.150
reading. My experience with this meter was

00:01:19.150 --> 00:01:21.539
straightforward: I used it for testing wires,

00:01:21.539 --> 00:01:23.084
and it continued to work well.

00:01:23.176 --> 00:01:24.029
When I reviewed it,

00:01:24.029 --> 00:01:25.309
I had owned it for roughly two

00:01:25.309 --> 00:01:27.166
to three years. I had no problems

00:01:27.272 --> 00:01:28.745
or defects to report.

00:01:29.150 --> 00:01:31.198
That continuing use is the main point

00:01:31.198 --> 00:01:32.340
of my owner review.

00:01:32.500 --> 00:01:34.804
My roof-entry photograph also shows why the

00:01:34.804 --> 00:01:37.066
physical connection work is a separate part

00:01:37.066 --> 00:01:38.986
of the story. The enclosure,

00:01:38.986 --> 00:01:41.312
cable openings and wire route are visible

00:01:41.332 --> 00:01:42.329
in the build record.

00:01:42.471 --> 00:01:44.988
I keep those installation photographs alongside the

00:01:44.988 --> 00:01:46.354
meter purchase and review,

00:01:46.481 --> 00:01:48.423
without turning the photographs into a record

00:01:48.444 --> 00:01:50.194
of a particular measured value.

00:01:50.321 --> 00:01:52.894
My page compares two researched alternatives.

00:01:53.118 --> 00:01:55.678
The other AstroAI meter has a six-thousand-count

00:01:55.678 --> 00:01:58.068
display and automatic range selection.

00:01:58.238 --> 00:02:00.798
The Klein M M three-twenty-five keeps manual

00:02:00.798 --> 00:02:03.017
range selection with a different display and

00:02:03.017 --> 00:02:05.594
control layout. Their matching pictures make those

00:02:05.594 --> 00:02:07.493
arrangements easier to compare.

00:02:07.642 --> 00:02:09.093
These are comparison options,

00:02:09.178 --> 00:02:11.183
rather than additional meters I am claiming

00:02:11.183 --> 00:02:13.253
to have used. Thanks for watching.

00:02:13.317 --> 00:02:15.568
I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van Freedom.

00:02:15.642 --> 00:02:17.648
I used my AstroAI meter for testing

00:02:17.648 --> 00:02:19.610
wires, kept using it after about two

00:02:19.610 --> 00:02:21.915
to three years, and had no complaints.

00:02:22.170 --> 00:02:24.091

00:02:24.261 --> 00:02:26.864
